TRANSMISSIONS OVERVIEW
The International Harvester 664 tractor features a 10-speed transmission option, which allows for enhanced versatility in various field conditions, and a 5-speed option for straightforward operations. The 10-speed provides finer control over speed and torque, advantageous for tasks like tilling and hauling, while the 5-speed may be simpler for operators managing lighter workloads. However, the complexity of a 10-speed system may require more maintenance and operator training, presenting a challenge in less experienced hands.

10-speed/5-speed |
TRANSMISSION 1
The International Harvester 664 tractor features a 10-speed forward and 2-speed reverse transmission, providing versatility for various field operations and allowing for precise speed adjustments. This range of gears can enhance productivity in diverse tasks like tilling or hauling, but may require experienced operators to maximize efficient gear selection. Operators should also be aware of potential challenges managing gear shifts under load, which could affect performance and fuel efficiency in demanding conditions.
| Gears |
10 forward and 2 reverse |
TRANSMISSION 2
The International Harvester 664 features a basic transmission setup with 5 forward gears and 1 reverse, allowing for versatile speed adjustments suited for various field tasks. While this simplicity enhances reliability and ease of use, it may limit operational efficiency in scenarios requiring rapid speed changes or specific gear ratios for optimized torque. Users should consider the trade-off between simplicity and the need for advanced gear configurations, particularly in demanding agricultural applications.

MECHANICAL
The International Harvester 664 features a 4x2 2WD chassis, which offers simplicity and reduced maintenance, making it suitable for light to moderate tasks on flat terrain. The open operator station enhances visibility and accessibility but may expose the operator to weather conditions, impacting comfort during extended use. Its 10-speed/5-speed transmission provides versatility in speed selection, facilitating efficient operation across various field conditions but may require a learning curve for optimal performance.
