TRANSMISSIONS OVERVIEW

The New Holland 1215 features a hydrostatic transmission combined with a 6-speed gear system, providing excellent maneuverability and precision in various agricultural tasks. The hydrostatic system offers seamless speed adjustments without the need for clutch engagement, which enhances operator comfort and reduces wear on components. However, while hydrostatic systems allow for easier operation, they may have higher initial costs and potential maintenance challenges compared to conventional transmission systems.

hydrostatic/6-speed gear

TRANSMISSION 1

The New Holland 1215's hydrostatic transmission allows for infinite speed control in both forward and reverse, providing exceptional maneuverability and ease of use in variable terrain. This feature is particularly advantageous for tasks requiring precision, such as mowing or landscaping, but may present challenges in fuel efficiency compared to gear-based systems under heavy loads. Operators should consider the trade-off between operational flexibility and potential higher operational costs due to hydrostatic system complexity.

Type	hydrostatic
Gears	infinite forward and reverse

TRANSMISSION 2

The New Holland 1215 tractor features a 6-speed transmission with 3 forward gears in both low (L) and high (H) ranges, alongside 2 reverse gears. This configuration allows for versatile operation across various terrains, improving productivity during fieldwork and transport tasks. However, operators may need to adjust gear selection carefully to maximize power efficiency and avoid stalling in challenging conditions.

Type	gear
Gears	6 forward and 2 reverse
Description	Three gears (1-3), plus reverse (R), in two ranges (L/H).

MECHANICAL

The New Holland 1215 tractor offers both 2WD and 4WD configurations, providing flexibility for various terrain and workload demands; however, its manual steering may be less ideal for precision tasks in tight spaces. The wet disc braking system enhances stopping power and maintenance longevity, while the choice of hydrostatic or 6-speed gear transmission supports both ease of operation and speed control. This tractor is well-suited for agricultural applications where durability and adaptability to different field conditions are crucial.

NEW HOLLAND 1215 TIRES

The New Holland 1215 tractor features either a 2WD or 4WD configuration, with tire sizes optimizing ground engagement; 2WD utilizes 4.00x12 front and 8x16 rear tires, while 4WD employs larger 5x12 front tires for enhanced traction. The choice of 4WD is advantageous in challenging terrains, significantly improving handling and stability, but may increase initial cost and maintenance complexity. In flat, well-maintained fields, the 2WD variant remains a cost-effective option with adequate performance.
