TRANSMISSIONS OVERVIEW
The International Harvester 475 tractor's 8-speed transmission, combined with the partially synchronized 16-speed two-speed power shift, provides precise control over various terrains and enhances operational flexibility. This setup offers a balance between ease of shifting and robust power delivery, making it suitable for both field work and transport applications. However, operators may need time to adapt to the intricacies of the shifting mechanism, potentially impacting initial productivity.

TRANSMISSION 1
The International Harvester 475 tractor features a partially synchronized transmission with a total of 8 forward and 4 reverse gears, enhancing operational flexibility. The inclusion of four synchronized gears (1-4) in both low and high ranges facilitates smoother gear shifting, which can reduce wear on driveline components. However, operators may need to pay attention to proper gear engagement to avoid potential slippage in unsynchronized gears, particularly when navigating challenging terrain or heavy loads.

TRANSMISSION 2
The International Harvester 475 features a two-speed power shift transmission with a Torque Amplifier, enhancing operational flexibility by allowing the operator to select between high and low ranges for varying field conditions. With 16 forward and 8 reverse gears, it provides precise speed control for tasks such as tilling or transporting heavy loads. However, the complexity of the power shift transmission may require more maintenance and can be a challenge for less experienced operators.

INTERNATIONAL HARVESTER 475 TIRES
The International Harvester 475 tractor features a versatile tire configuration, allowing for optimal traction across various terrains; smaller Ag front tires (7.50-16) provide agility, while larger rear tire options (14.9/13-28 to 16.9/14-30) enhance stability and weight distribution, making it suitable for both crop farming and tillage. However, selecting improper rear tires may impact pulling capacity and fuel efficiency. Ideal scenarios include row crop operations or soil preparation where adaptability and maneuverability are critical.
| Ag front | 7.50-16 |
| Ag rear | 14.9/13-28 / 14.9/13-30 / 16.9/14-30 / 12.4/11-32 / 13.6/12-36 |
