TRANSMISSIONS OVERVIEW

The John Deere 4200 features a 9-speed partially synchronized hydrostatic transmission, providing seamless speed adjustments and enhanced maneuverability in various operating conditions. This transmission allows for efficient power delivery, making it suitable for tasks such as tilling or mowing in diverse terrains. However, the partially synchronized system may require more operator skill for optimal shifting compared to fully synchronized transmissions, which could be a consideration for less experienced operators.

Description 9-speed partially synchronized hydrostatic

TRANSMISSION 1

The John Deere 4200 features a partially synchronized SyncShift transmission, facilitating smooth gear changes while on the move within its 9 forward and 3 reverse gears. The wet disc clutch design, comprising nine four-inch discs, enhances durability and efficiency but requires the tractor to be stopped for range shifts, which may limit operational efficiency in time-sensitive tasks. With an oil capacity of 25.2 quarts, regular maintenance is crucial to ensure optimal performance and longevity of the transmission system.

Type partially synchronized
Gears 9 forward and 3 reverse
Clutch wet discs, one clutch pack with nine four-inch discs
Oil capacity 25.2qts / 23.8L
Description Three gears (1-3), plus reverse, in three ranges (A-C). Gears may be shifting on the move, using the clutch. Tractor must be stopped, and clutch used, to shift ranges

TRANSMISSION 2

The John Deere 4200 features a hydrostatic transmission with infinite gear selection, enhancing ease of operation and allowing for precise control in various applications. With a manageable oil capacity of 27.2 quarts, maintenance is simplified, but prospective owners must consider the requirement to stop for range shifts, which may slow productivity. The push-button cruise control adds convenience, making it suitable for tasks demanding consistent speed over longer durations.

Type hydrostatic
Gears infinite (3-range) forward and reverse
Oil capacity 27.2qts / 25.7L
Description Hydrostatic transmission operated by two foot pedals and left-hand range shift lever. Tractor must be stopped to shift ranges. Push-button cruise control
