TRANSMISSIONS OVERVIEW
The Iseki TF173 tractor features a robust 6-speed gear transmission paired with a 6-speed shuttle system, providing efficient forward and reverse operation, which is advantageous for tasks requiring frequent directional changes, such as loader work. The dual-speed gear setup enhances torque management, allowing for better performance in varied field conditions. However, operators should be aware of the learning curve associated with manual shifting in comparison to modern continuously variable transmission (CVT) systems, especially in precision tasks.

TRANSMISSION 1
The Iseki TF173 tractor features a 6-speed forward and 2-speed reverse gearbox, providing flexibility for various agricultural tasks. The gearbox design allows for efficient power management and speed control, which can enhance productivity in both planting and hauling scenarios. However, the limited number of gears might pose constraints in highly variable terrain conditions, where more precise gearing options could improve performance.
| Gears |
6 forward and 2 reverse |
TRANSMISSION 2
The Iseki TF173 tractor features a shuttle transmission with 6 forward and reverse gears, allowing for efficient speed control and directional changes, beneficial for tasks requiring frequent forward and reverse operation. The compact design of the tractor enhances maneuverability in tight spaces, making it ideal for landscaping or small farm applications. However, the limited gear range may restrict use in more extensive agricultural operations where varying slopes and speeds are needed.
