ENGINE DETAIL
The Hurlimann Prince 55 tractor features a Mitsubishi 4-cylinder turbocharged diesel engine with a compact displacement of 1.8L, delivering 51hp, which is suitable for light to medium agricultural tasks. Its Stage III emissions compliance and indirect fuel injection system offer a balance between performance and environmental responsibility, though it may not meet stricter emissions regulations in certain regions. The tractor's torque output of 90lb-ft at 2000 RPM enhances its pulling capability, making it advantageous for tasks requiring consistent power at lower engine speeds; however, operators should consider the limited RPM range when using high-demand implements.

TRANSMISSIONS OVERVIEW
The Hurlimann Prince 55 tractor features a 12-speed partially synchronized transmission, allowing for smoother gear shifts under load, and a 16-speed option for enhanced versatility across varied terrain. This transmission design helps optimize fuel efficiency while providing robust torque management, which is beneficial for tasks requiring precision, such as plowing or hauling. However, operators may experience a learning curve with the partially synchronized system, especially in high-stress conditions, where gear selection may require more attention.

TRANSMISSION 1
The Hurlimann Prince 55 features a partially synchronized transmission with a total of 12 forward and reverse gears, enhancing versatility for various farming applications. The presence of four synchronized gears in three ranges allows for smoother shifting, which can improve operator comfort and efficiency during operation. However, the mechanical shuttle may require additional operator skill for efficient directional changes, which could be a challenge in time-sensitive tasks.

TRANSMISSION 2
The Hurlimann Prince 55 tractor features a partially synchronized transmission with 16 forward and reverse gears, allowing for flexibility in varying terrain and tasks. The presence of four synchronized gears in four ranges enhances operability, making it easier to shift under load while the mechanical shuttle offers quick direction changes. However, the partially synchronized system may lead to challenges in smoother gear transitions compared to fully synchronized counterparts, particularly in demanding applications.
