TRANSMISSIONS OVERVIEW

The Ford 1920 tractor's 12-speed mechanical shuttle transmission offers seamless gear shifting, enhancing operational efficiency during varying tasks such as plowing or hauling. This feature allows for quick direction changes without disengaging the PTO, which is advantageous in tight spaces. However, operators may need time to adapt to the complexity of the gear ratios for optimal performance.

TRANSMISSION 1

The Ford 1920 tractor features a robust 12-forward and 4-reverse gear setup, enhancing its versatility for various farming tasks. Its three-speed design within four ranges allows for effective speed management and power distribution, making it suitable for both light and heavy-duty operations. However, the complexity of gear selection may pose a learning curve for operators unfamiliar with multi-range systems.

Type gear
Gears 12 forward and 4 reverse
Description Three gears (1-3) plus reverse (R) in four ranges.

TRANSMISSION 2

The Ford 1920 tractor features a mechanical shuttle transmission with 12 forward and reverse speeds, enabling efficient control and maneuverability for various applications. The four synchronized gears in four ranges allow for smooth transitions between speed levels, enhancing productivity in tasks like plowing, hauling, or mowing. However, mechanical shuttles can require more operator skill to manage effectively compared to fully automatic systems, potentially posing a learning curve for inexperienced users.

FORD 1920 TIRES

The Ford 1920 tractor is available in both 2WD and 4WD configurations, offering versatility for different agricultural applications, with the 4WD providing better traction in challenging terrains. The 2WD model, equipped with standard ag tires, is more maneuverable on flatter fields, while the 4WD can enhance productivity in muddy or sloped conditions. Consider the specific tire sizes depending on your farming needs, as turf tires are designed for minimal soil disturbance, making them suitable for delicate lawn maintenance or landscaping tasks.
