TRANSMISSIONS OVERVIEW
The John Deere 2855N features an 8-speed partially synchronized transmission, providing smoother gear shifting for improved operational efficiency. The optional 16-speed partial power shift enhances versatility in varying field conditions, allowing for adaptable speed control during heavy-duty tasks. However, operators may face a learning curve transitioning between the different transmission systems, which could impact productivity initially in demanding scenarios.

TRANSMISSION 1
The John Deere 2855N features a partially synchronized transmission, offering 8 forward and 4 reverse gears, which enhances operational flexibility in varied field conditions. The advantages of this configuration include smoother gear transitions, particularly beneficial in tasks requiring frequent speed adjustments, such as loader work. However, operators may experience a learning curve with synchronizing lower gears when under heavy loads, which can affect productivity during initial use.
