TRANSMISSION

The McCormick-Deering 22-36 tractor employs a gear type transmission, featuring 3 forward gears and 1 reverse gear, which allows for versatile speed applications ranging from fieldwork to transport. The limited gear selection may challenge operators in varied terrain conditions, emphasizing the importance of matching the appropriate gear with the task at hand. This tractor is well-suited for small to medium-scale farming operations, offering a balance of simplicity and reliable performance for historical agricultural practices.

MECHANICAL

The McCormick-Deering 22-36 features a 4x2 2WD chassis, providing good maneuverability but limited traction on uneven terrain. Its manual steering requires operator effort, which can impact comfort during long working hours. The 3-speed gear transmission allows for basic speed adjustments, but may not offer the versatility needed for varied tasks compared to modern tractors with more gears or automatic transmissions.
