LEYLAND 455 ENGINE
The Leyland 455 tractor is equipped with a 3.6L 4-cylinder diesel engine, providing a balance of power and efficiency suitable for various agricultural tasks. Its compact size offers maneuverability in confined spaces, but the engine's limited displacement may result in reduced torque compared to larger models, potentially challenging performance in heavy-duty applications. Ideal for small to medium farms, this tractor excels in tasks such as tilling and light plowing but may struggle in more demanding scenarios like deep soil cultivation.

TRANSMISSION
The Leyland 455 tractor features a 10 forward and 2 reverse mechanical dry disc clutch system, allowing for efficient power transfer and enhanced maneuverability in varied terrain. The five-gear configuration in both low and high ranges provides flexibility for different applications, such as field work or transport. One potential challenge is managing gear shifting under load, which requires skill to prevent clutch wear and ensure optimal performance.

LEYLAND 455 TRANSMISSION
The Leyland 455 tractor features a sophisticated 10-speed gearbox, providing extensive gear ratios that enhance operational versatility and efficiency in both field and transport applications. This transmission system allows for optimal torque management and smoother gear transitions, enabling the tractor to tackle varying load conditions effectively. However, the complexity of the 10-speed gearbox may require more frequent maintenance and may present a steeper learning curve for operators unfamiliar with multi-speed systems.

MECHANICAL
The Leyland 455 tractor features a robust four-wheel drive system, enhancing traction and stability across varied terrain, particularly in adverse conditions. Its mechanical dry disc brakes provide reliable stopping power, although maintenance may be more frequent compared to hydraulic systems. The power-assisted steering improves maneuverability, making it easier to handle in tight spaces, but may add complexity to repairs over time.
