JOHN DEERE 2555 TRANSMISSIONS
The John Deere 2555 features an 8-speed non-synchronized transmission, offering straightforward gear selection but can present challenges in smooth shifting at higher speeds. The partially synchronized design allows for some ease in shifting between gears, reducing the likelihood of gear grinding. However, the inclusion of a power shuttle enhances operational efficiency, enabling quicker direction changes without clutching, making it ideal for loader work or in tight maneuvering scenarios.
