JOHN DEERE 950 TRANSMISSION
The John Deere 950 tractor features an 8-speed gear transmission, which allows for versatile speed selection, optimizing performance for various field tasks and conditions. This gearbox enhances operational efficiency, but may require more operator skill to navigate shifting under load. Ideal for small to medium farming operations, it strikes a balance between power and maneuverability, although it could exhibit limitations in steep terrain due to gear ratios.
MECHANICAL
The John Deere 950 tractor features either two- or four-wheel drive options, enhancing traction and stability across varied terrain. Its differential mechanical expanding shoe brakes offer reliable stopping power; however, the manual steering option may require increased operator effort, particularly in tight maneuvers. The availability of power steering as an option improves maneuverability, making it advantageous for users who frequently operate in confined spaces.

JOHN DEERE 950 TIRES
The John Deere 950 tractor is equipped with versatile tire options, including agricultural and turf tires, allowing it to transition from farming to lawn maintenance effectively. The Ag front tires (5.00-15) and rear options (11.2-24 or 12.4-28) provide excellent traction and stability for fieldwork, whereas the lawn/turf tires (27/8.5-15 front and 13.6-28 rear) offer a gentler footprint for landscaping tasks. One challenge could be tire wear; using turf tires in agricultural settings may lead to faster degradation, thus it's crucial to assess operational requirements to choose the appropriate tire configuration.

DIMENSIONS & TIRES
The John Deere 950 tractor features a compact wheelbase of 68.9 inches, enhancing its maneuverability in tight spaces, making it suitable for small farms or landscaping tasks. Weighing between 2,700 to 3,000 pounds provides stability during operation, but may limit transport flexibility. The tire specifications (5.00-15 front and 11.2-24 rear) indicate a balance between traction and flotation, ideal for diverse terrain handling, though the rear tire size suggests limitations in heavy-load applications without additional rear ballast.
