TRANSMISSION 1
The J.I. Case 300 features a sliding gear transmission with 4 forward and 1 reverse speeds, providing basic but effective versatility for various agricultural tasks. The 234.9mm dry disc clutch offers reliable engagement and disengagement but may require more frequent maintenance compared to hydraulic systems in high-torque applications. This tractor is suitable for lighter farming operations; however, its limited gearing may challenge performance in heavy-duty scenarios, particularly on inclined terrains.
