TRANSMISSIONS OVERVIEW
The Leyland 272 tractor's 9-speed or optional 10-speed transmission provides versatility in various field conditions, enhancing its suitability for both agricultural and hauling tasks. This multi-speed capability allows for optimal torque management and fuel efficiency, especially in challenging terrains. However, the complexity of additional gears may present a learning curve for inexperienced operators.

9-speed/10-speed |
TRANSMISSION 1
The Leyland 272 tractor features a 9-speed forward and 3-speed reverse transmission, providing operators with enhanced versatility for various field conditions. The broad range of gears allows for optimized performance when tackling diverse tasks, from plowing to transporting, ensuring effective power management. However, the complexity of the gearbox may require more frequent maintenance and operator training to fully utilize its potential.
| Gears |
9 forward and 3 reverse |
TRANSMISSION 2
The Leyland 272 features a 10-forward and 2-reverse gear transmission, allowing for versatile speed management suited for various agricultural tasks. Its decent gear ratio aids in better torque distribution, making it efficient for towing and heavy-duty work. However, the limited reverse gears may pose challenges in tight maneuvering scenarios, particularly in confined spaces.
| Gears |
10 forward and 2 reverse |
MECHANICAL
The Leyland 272 tractor, featuring a 4x2 2WD chassis, is well-suited for moderate agricultural tasks, offering simplicity in maneuverability but limited traction in challenging terrains. Its hydrostatic power steering enhances operational ease and precision, making it advantageous for tasks requiring tight cornering. However, the independent hydraulic dry disc brakes may present challenges in heavy-duty applications, requiring careful management to prevent overheating during prolonged use.
