TRANSMISSIONS OVERVIEW

The Landini Globus 55 tractor features a versatile transmission system, offering options for 15-speed synchronized shuttle, 30-speed synchronized shuttle, and advanced 60-speed partial power shift for optimal performance across various field conditions. This wide range of gears enhances operator control, allowing for precise speed adjustments during tasks such as plowing or tilling. However, the complexity of the transmission may require specialized training for operators, potentially increasing the learning curve for new users.

LANDINI GLOBUS 55 TIRES

The Landini Globus 55 offers versatile tire options for various applications, including agricultural, lawn/turf, and industrial, allowing for adaptability in different terrains and workloads. The 2WD configuration with 14.9R28 rear tires excels in traction on flat fields, while the 4WD configuration with larger tire variants offers enhanced stability and off-road capability in more challenging conditions. However, selecting tires must balance between flotation and soil compaction, as larger tires may reduce ground pressure but can compromise maneuverability in tighter spaces.
