TRANSMISSIONS OVERVIEW
The John Deere 2355 tractor offers a versatile transmission system, including options for 8-speed non-synchronized, partially synchronized 16-speed, and 8-speed power shuttle configurations, allowing for customized performance based on operational requirements. The partially synchronized 16-speed promotes smoother gear shifting under load, enhancing efficiency during complex tasks. However, operators should be aware that the non-synchronized option may result in more manual effort when shifting gears, potentially increasing operator fatigue during extended use.

TRANSMISSION 1
The John Deere 2355 features a non-synchronized Collar Shift Transmission (CST) with 8 forward and 4 reverse gears, enabling versatile speed adjustments. The dry disc clutch provides reliable engagement but may require skilled matching of RPMs when shifting to prevent wear and ensure smooth operation. This setup is ideal for agricultural applications where precision in gear selection is essential, but operators must be experienced to handle non-synchronized shifting effectively.

TRANSMISSION 2
The John Deere 2355 features a partially synchronized Top-Shaft Synchronized (TSS) transmission, providing 8 forward and 4 reverse gears for versatile operation across various terrains. The dry disc clutch facilitates smooth engagement, crucial for tasks requiring precision, such as loader work or tilling. The optional creeper range enhances its utility, allowing for 12 forward and 8 reverse speeds, ideal for operations demanding low-speed and high-torque conditions, such as seed bed preparation or precision planting.

TRANSMISSION 3
The John Deere 2355 features a Hi-Lo Top-Shaft Synchronized (TSS) transmission with a partial power shift, allowing smooth transitions across 16 forward and 8 reverse gears, which enhances versatility in varied field applications. The dry disc clutch provides reliable engagement but may require more maintenance over time compared to wet clutches. Users can expect efficient operation in extensive farming tasks, though the complexity of the TSS may present a learning curve for new operators.

JOHN DEERE 2355 TRANSMISSIONS
The John Deere 2355 features an 8-speed non-synchronized transmission, which can pose challenges in shifting without stopping, especially under load. Its 8-speed partially synchronized variant allows smoother shifting at the cost of some responsiveness. The 16-speed partial power shift option enhances operational flexibility, ideal for varied tasks, while the 8-speed power shuttle provides quick direction changes without needing to clutch, benefiting loader operations.

MECHANICAL
The John Deere 2355 features a robust two- or four-wheel drive system, ensuring traction in diverse terrains while its hydraulic wet disc brakes provide reliable stopping power, ideal for heavy-duty tasks. The Roll-Gard ROPS enhances operator safety, with the optional Sound-Gard cab improving comfort and reducing noise exposure. However, potential drawbacks include the added maintenance of a hydrostatic power steering system, which could affect longevity if not properly serviced.
