TRANSMISSION 1

The Iseki TF153 features a 6-speed forward and 2-speed reverse transmission, allowing for versatile speed management in various terrain conditions. This setup provides a balance between power and maneuverability, making it suitable for light agricultural tasks or landscaping. However, the limited number of gears may challenge performance in more specialized or demanding applications requiring precise speed control.

Gears 6 forward and 2 reverse

TRANSMISSION 2

The Iseki TF153 tractor features a shuttle transmission with 6 forward and reverse gears, providing efficient control for various farming tasks. This setup allows for quick directional changes, enhancing maneuverability in tight spaces. However, operators may need time to adjust to the gear shifting process, particularly in tasks requiring frequent directional changes, such as loader work or cultivating.
