SPEEDS
MECHANICAL
The Leader 15-25 tractor features a 4x2 two-wheel drive (2WD) chassis, which is optimal for flat terrain but may struggle with traction on inclines or uneven ground. Its manual steering provides simplicity and reliability, although it may require more effort and skill from the operator compared to power steering systems. The 2-speed gear transmission allows versatility for both hauling and fieldwork, but limited gear options may restrict full performance in varied operational conditions.

LEADER 15-25 TIRES
The Leader 15-25 tractor equipped with 48x12 steel agricultural rear tires offers enhanced traction and durability on varied terrains, making it suitable for heavy tillage operations. However, the weight of steel tires may lead to increased soil compaction in softer conditions. In scenarios where ground protection is essential, considering lighter, wider tires or dual tire configurations could mitigate compaction while maintaining stability.
