TRANSMISSION

The Iseki TU185 features a transmission with 12 forward and 4 reverse gears, providing versatile speed options for various agricultural tasks and terrain. This wide range of gearing allows for optimal torque and efficiency during operation, which can enhance productivity. However, users must be mindful of potential complexity in gear shifting, particularly when maneuvering in tight spaces or during field work.

MECHANICAL

The Iseki TU185 tractor features a versatile chassis with options for both 2WD and 4WD, enhancing traction and stability across various terrains but potentially increasing maintenance complexity for the 4WD system. Equipped with power steering, it offers improved maneuverability, making it ideal for small to medium-sized farm operations. The 12-speed transmission allows for precise speed control, enhancing efficiency during tasks like plowing or hauling, but may require operator familiarity to fully optimize its capabilities.

ISEKI TU185 TIRES

The Iseki TU185 tractor features a two-wheel drive (2WD) mechanism, utilizing standard agricultural tires with front sizes of 4.00-12 and rear sizes of 8.3-24, optimizing maneuverability for lighter tasks. In contrast, its four-wheel drive (4WD) variant enhances traction with larger front tires of 6.00-14, suitable for diverse terrains and heavier workloads, making it ideal for adverse conditions. The primary consideration is that while 2WD offers lower operating costs, 4WD provides superior stability and traction, particularly advantageous in muddy or inclined environments.
