TRANSMISSIONS OVERVIEW
The John Deere 2950 features a 16-speed partial power shift transmission, offering smooth operation and flexibility in various field conditions, enhancing efficiency during tillage and hauling tasks. Its 12-speed partially synchronized option can improve operator comfort by minimizing gear clash during shifting. However, users may face a learning curve to optimize gear selection effectively, especially in diverse terrain scenarios.

TRANSMISSION 1
The John Deere 2950 features a partial power shift transmission with 16 forward and 8 reverse gears, providing efficient power management for varied tasks. The synchronized shifting enhances operator comfort and ease, making it suitable for scenarios requiring frequent gear changes, such as plowing or transport. However, the reliance on the Hi-Lo TSS system may present challenges in terms of maintenance and potential complexity in operation for inexperienced users.

JOHN DEERE 2950 TIRES
The John Deere 2950 tractor offers versatility in tire configurations, with 2WD options providing effective traction for standard agricultural tasks. The 4WD variants enhance stability and grip, particularly in challenging terrain, making them ideal for tillage or loader work. Users should consider their operational requirements and local soil conditions to select the most suitable tire setup; 4WD with larger front tires may provide better flotation and reduce soil compaction in softer conditions.
| 2WD Standard tires (ag) | Front: 10.00-16. Rear: 18.4-34 |
| 4WD Standard tires (ag) | Front: 13.6-24.8. Rear: 18.4-34 |
| 4WD Optional tires (ag) | Front: 13.6-28. Rear: 18.4-38 |
DIMENSIONS & TIRES
The John Deere 2950 tractor features a robust weight of 10,100 lbs, which enhances stability and traction, particularly in 2WD configurations.
