MECHANICAL
The John Deere C tractor's 4x2 2WD chassis provides simplicity and lower maintenance costs, making it ideal for light-duty tasks on flat terrain. The manual steering may require more effort but offers precise control in tight spaces, while the open operator station increases operator visibility and ventilation, albeit with reduced protection from the elements. Its 3-speed gear transmission is suitable for basic operations, although it may limit versatility in more demanding applications compared to modern multi-speed or hydrostatic transmissions.
