TRANSMISSIONS OVERVIEW
The John Deere 2155 features an 8-speed non-synchronized transmission, upgraded to an 8-speed partially synchronized and a 16-speed partial power shift option, along with an 8-speed power shuttle variant. This diverse transmission setup enhances operational versatility, allowing for smoother transitions during fieldwork, but may challenge operators unfamiliar with non-synchronized systems. Ideal for mixed agricultural tasks, the power shuttle variant is particularly beneficial for loader applications, reducing operator fatigue during repetitive forward/reverse movements.

TRANSMISSION 1
The John Deere 2155 features a non-synchronized Collar Shift transmission with 8 forward and 4 reverse gears, allowing for a straightforward but rugged operation, suitable for various field tasks. The dry disc clutch enhances durability but may require more effort during gear shifts compared to synchronized systems, potentially posing a challenge in high-speed applications. This design is advantageous for operators seeking reliability and simplicity in maintenance, particularly in agricultural or light industrial scenarios.

JOHN DEERE 2155 TRANSMISSIONS
The John Deere 2155 tractor is equipped with an 8-speed transmission, offering a partially synchronized option for smoother shifting under load, and a 16-speed partial power shift for enhanced versatility in various field conditions. The inclusion of an 8-speed power shuttle allows for seamless direction changes, improving operational efficiency in tasks like loading and unloading. However, the non-synchronized nature of some gears may present challenges for novice operators when shifting without stopping the tractor, potentially leading to increased wear on the transmission components.
