TRANSMISSION 1
The Ford 4130 tractor's 8 forward and 2 reverse gears provide versatile operation, ideal for varied tasks in agriculture and light industrial applications. Pro: The broad gear range allows effective speed adjustments for both towing and fieldwork. However, the limited reverse gear may present challenges in maneuverability in tight spaces.
| Gears | 8 forward and 2 reverse |
TRANSMISSION 2
The Ford 4130 tractor's 8-speed transmission provides versatile gear options, enhancing both low-end torque for plowing and higher speeds for transport. This gearbox configuration can be advantageous for tasks that require frequent speed adjustments, allowing farmers to optimize performance based on specific field conditions. However, operators may face a learning curve to efficiently manage gear shifts in various agricultural applications.
| Gears | 8 forward and reverse |
MECHANICAL
The Ford 4130 tractor features a robust 4x2 2WD or optional 4x4 MFWD configuration, enhancing traction and stability for various field conditions. An 8-speed transmission allows for efficient speed control and adaptability, making it suitable for diverse agricultural tasks. While a power steering system provides ease of maneuverability, the optional cab can improve operator comfort during extended use.

DIMENSIONS & TIRES
The Ford 4130 tractor features a relatively short wheelbase of 84.5 inches, enhancing maneuverability in tight spaces, making it suitable for smaller farms or landscape work. Weighing 4630 lbs, its stability is complemented by wider rear tires (12.4-28), which provide excellent traction but may limit agility in very soft soil conditions. The front tires (6.00-16) suggest a lighter load-bearing capacity, indicating suitability for less demanding front-end attachments and tasks.
