MECHANICAL
The McKee 480 tractor features a 4x2 2WD chassis, making it suitable for flat terrains but less effective in muddy or hilly conditions due to traction limitations. Its open operator station design provides good visibility and airflow, though it may expose the operator to harsh weather. The 6-speed gear transmission offers versatility in speed control, but may require skillful shifting for optimal performance in varying tasks.
