TRANSMISSIONS OVERVIEW
The Hesston 80-90 tractor features a 12-speed synchromesh transmission which provides smooth gear engagement, enhancing operator comfort and efficiency in varying field conditions. The mechanical shuttle allows for quick direction changes without clutch disengagement, ideal for applications requiring frequent forward and reverse movement. Additionally, the 20-speed creeper gear enables precise low-speed control, beneficial for tasks like tillage or planting, but may present a learning curve for less experienced operators.

HESSTON 80-90 TIRES
The Hesston 80-90 tractor's 2WD configuration is suited for less demanding agricultural tasks on flatter terrains while the 4WD variant enhances traction in challenging conditions, making it ideal for uneven or muddy fields. The choice of front tire sizes—9.5L-15 for 2WD and 13.6-24 for 4WD—improves stability and maneuverability, primarily when working with larger implements. However, the 13.6-38/16.9-34 rear tire options may increase rolling resistance and fuel consumption, so careful consideration of the application is necessary for optimal performance.
