TRANSMISSION 1
The J.I. Case 302-B tractor features a 4-speed forward and 1-speed reverse transmission, providing versatility for various agricultural tasks. The limited number of gears can enhance ease of operation but may restrict optimal performance in diverse terrains or speed requirements. Ideal for flat land and light-duty applications, this tractor may face challenges in hilly or heavily loaded scenarios due to gear limitations.
| Gears | 4 forward and 1 reverse |
TRANSMISSION 2
The J.I. Case 302-B tractor features a Tripl-Range transmission, providing 12 forward and 3 reverse gears, which enhances operational flexibility and efficiency for various implements and terrain conditions. This multi-speed capability allows for optimal power management during tasks such as tilling or hauling, making it advantageous for both agricultural and light industrial applications. However, operators may face a learning curve mastering the gear selection for specific tasks to fully utilize the transmission's potential.
