TRANSMISSION

The Iseki TU180 features a versatile 12 forward and 4 reverse gear system, allowing for enhanced adaptability across various terrains and tasks. With three gears in each of the four ranges, operators can finely tune speed and torque, which is beneficial for precision work such as tilling or transporting heavy loads. However, the complexity of shifting between ranges may pose a learning curve for new operators, impacting efficiency until mastered.

ISEKI TU180 TIRES

The Iseki TU180 tractor offers both 2WD and 4WD configurations, which enhances versatility in diverse terrains. The tire sizes indicate that the 2WD version benefits from narrow front tires (400-12), suitable for tighter spaces, while the 4WD version employs wider front tires (6-14) for improved traction and stability on uneven ground. Choosing between configurations depends on intended use: 2WD is advantageous for lighter tasks on flat land, while 4WD is ideal for heavy-duty applications in hilly or muddy conditions.

2WD Standard tires (ag) Front: 400-12. Rear: 8.3-24
