TRANSMISSIONS OVERVIEW

The Hesston 130-90 tractor features a 16-speed synchronized transmission, offering efficient gear shifting for varied field conditions, alongside a 24-speed creeper mode for enhanced low-speed control in tasks such as tilling. The 16-speed partial power shift enables seamless power delivery and improved productivity during heavy-duty operations. However, the complexity of the transmission may require greater operator training to maximize its potential efficiently.

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.

Type synchronized
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.

Gears 24 forward and 8 reverse

TRANSMISSION 3

The Hesston 130-90 tractor features a partial power shift transmission with 16 forward and reverse gears across four ranges, enhancing operational versatility and efficiency for various agricultural tasks. The power shift capability allows for smoother gear transitions without clutching, which can improve productivity during fieldwork. However, potential challenges include higher maintenance complexity and costs compared to simpler transmission systems, requiring careful consideration of long-term operational budgets.

Type partial power shift
Gears 16 forward and reverse
Description Four power-shift gears in four ranges

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.
