TRANSMISSION 1

The Foton 700 tractor features an 8-speed forward and 2-speed reverse transmission, which enhances versatility and allows for efficient operation in varied agricultural tasks. This multi-speed gearbox provides better control over speed and torque, beneficial for tasks requiring precision, such as tilling or planting. However, operators may face a learning curve to effectively utilize all gear ratios for optimal performance.

Gears 8 forward and 2 reverse

TRANSMISSION 2

The Foton 700 tractor features an 8-speed forward and 4-speed reverse transmission, offering versatility for various agricultural tasks and terrain. The multiple gear options allow for optimized speed control and efficient operation in both fieldwork and transport scenarios. However, operators may require some training to effectively utilize the range of gears for maximum efficiency and performance.

Gears 8 forward and 4 reverse

MECHANICAL

The Foton 700 tractor features a 4x2 two-wheel drive (2WD) chassis, which offers lower initial purchase costs and reduced maintenance compared to four-wheel drive systems, but may struggle in wet or uneven terrains. Its power steering enhances maneuverability, making it easier to operate during long hours, while the 8-speed transmission provides a range of gear selections ideal for varied tasks, from plowing to hauling. The disc brakes offer reliable stopping power; however, operators should ensure regular maintenance to prevent wear and optimize performance.
