TRANSMISSION
The Keck-Gonnerman 12-24 tractor features a simple gear configuration with two forward gears and one reverse gear, facilitating basic maneuverability for agricultural tasks. Its [-|-] gear type may limit speed modulation and adaptability in varied field conditions, which can be a challenge for more complex operations. However, the straightforward design offers ease of maintenance and robustness, making it well-suited for light to moderate farming applications.

MECHANICAL
The Keck-Gonnerman 12-24 tractor features a 4x2 2WD chassis, making it suitable for flat, stable terrain but potentially limiting traction on uneven surfaces. Its spur gear final drives provide straightforward, reliable power transmission, while the manual steering can increase operator effort during maneuvers, especially in tight spaces. The open operator station enhances visibility but may expose the operator to environmental conditions, which is advantageous for field work in mild weather but can be a disadvantage in adverse conditions.

KECK-GONNERMAN 12-24 TIRES
The Keck-Gonnerman 12-24 tractor features 61x12 steel rear wheels, which provide enhanced durability and traction, particularly in agricultural applications. However, the rigidity of steel wheels can lead to reduced ride comfort and increased soil compaction. In scenarios requiring maneuverability on softer ground, consider alternative wheel options such as rubber or pneumatic tires to mitigate potential soil damage while improving operator comfort.
