TRANSMISSION

The LS K5055 features a sliding gear transmission with 8 forward and 4 reverse gears, providing flexibility and precision for various terrain and load conditions. This configuration allows for efficient power transfer and adaptability during operations but may require frequent shifting under varying workloads. Operators may benefit from smoother control in fieldwork scenarios but should be cautious of potential wear on the gear system with heavy usage.

Gears 8 forward and 4 reverse

MECHANICAL

The LS K5055 tractor features a versatile 4x2 2WD/4x4 MFWD system, offering adaptability for various terrains but potentially limiting traction in extreme conditions when in 2WD mode. Its hydrostatic power steering enhances maneuverability, crucial for precision in tight spaces, while wet disc brakes ensure reliable stopping power, especially in demanding work environments. The 8-speed sliding gear transmission allows for a range of speed options, making it suitable for both fast transport and slow, controlled work, although gearing limitations may require frequent shifting in varied applications.
