TRANSMISSIONS OVERVIEW

The New Holland 1220 tractor features a 9-speed gear and hydrostatic transmission, providing versatile speed control for various agricultural tasks. The hydrostatic system enables smooth operation and precise speed adjustments, making it ideal for tasks requiring fine maneuverability, such as tilling or landscaping. However, the complexity of the hydrostatic system may lead to higher maintenance costs compared to traditional gear-driven transmissions.

Description

9-speed gear/hydrostatic

TRANSMISSION 1

The New Holland 1220 tractor features a 9 forward and 3 reverse gear transmission, allowing for versatile speed control and maneuverability in various agricultural tasks. This gear setup enhances operational efficiency, particularly in tasks requiring frequent directional changes, such as tilling or plowing. However, the limited gear range may pose challenges in applications requiring a broader speed range, necessitating careful gear selection for optimal performance.

Type	gear
Gears	9 forward and 3 reverse

TRANSMISSION 2

The New Holland 1220 tractor's hydrostatic transmission offers infinite speed control, enhancing precision when navigating varied terrains or performing tasks that require varying speeds. The 2-range capability provides versatility for both low-speed tasks like tilling and high-speed operations like transport. However, hydrostatic systems may have higher maintenance costs compared to mechanical gear systems, which should be considered for long-term operational planning.

Type	hydrostatic
Gears	infinite (2-range) forward and reverse

MECHANICAL

The New Holland 1220 tractor offers versatile drivetrain options with 2WD and 4WD configurations, enhancing traction and stability for various field conditions. Its power steering and optional hydrostatic transmission (post-1989) facilitate ease of operation, making it ideal for both novice and experienced operators. The wet disc brakes provide reliable stopping power, while the two-post ROPS ensures operator safety during operations but may limit full cab comfort.

NEW HOLLAND 1220 TIRES

The New Holland 1220 tractor offers versatility with its 2WD and 4WD options, making it adaptable for various terrains and applications. The 4WD configuration with larger front tires (5-12) enhances traction in challenging conditions compared to the 2WD version, while the lawn/turf tires provide a gentle footprint for turf maintenance. However, the use of standard agricultural tires may reduce maneuverability on softer ground, particularly when not equipped for turf.
