TRANSMISSION 1
The Hesston 130-90 features a synchronized transmission, which enhances gear shifting efficiency, allowing for smooth transitions between 16 forward and reverse gears. This design is beneficial for tasks requiring frequent speed adjustments, such as tilling or plowing. However, operators may face a learning curve with synchronized shifting if transitioning from a traditional unsynchronized transmission.

| Gears |
16 forward and reverse |
TRANSMISSION 2
The Hesston 130-90 tractor features a creeper transmission, providing exceptional low-speed control, ideal for tasks such as tilling or precision planting. With 24 forward and 8 reverse gears, it offers versatility in various field conditions, allowing operators to select the optimal speed for their specific tasks. However, the complexity of the gear system may pose a learning curve for operators unfamiliar with multi-speed tractors, necessitating training for optimal performance.

MECHANICAL
The Hesston 130-90 tractor features a robust 4x4 MFWD option, enhancing traction and stability on uneven terrains, making it ideal for demanding tasks. It employs a 16-speed synchronized transmission which allows for smooth gear changes, while the optional 24-speed creeper provides excellent control for low-speed operations, suited for tasks like tilling. The Supercomfort cab, equipped with air conditioning, offers improved operator comfort but may lead to higher maintenance costs due to additional components.

HESSTON 130-90 TIRES
The Hesston 130-90 tractor features a 2WD configuration with narrower front tires for improved maneuverability in tight spaces, while the 4WD option enhances traction and stability on varied terrains. The wide Ag rear tires (18.4-38) increase ground contact for better weight distribution and pulling capacity, making it suitable for heavy-duty agricultural tasks. However, the 2WD design may limit performance in challenging soil conditions compared to the 4WD model, so selecting the appropriate drivetrain is critical based on the terrain and workload.

DIMENSIONS & TIRES
The Hesston 130-90 tractor features two drive configurations: a 2WD option with a longer wheelbase for stability versus a more compact 4WD version that enhances maneuverability in rough terrain. Its weight range of 11,800 to 14,240 pounds offers robust traction but may limit transportability and require adequate hauling equipment. The tire specifications, including 11.00-16 front and 18.4-38 rear, provide a balance of grip and flotation, making it suitable for various agricultural tasks, though tire wear should be monitored for optimal performance.
