TRANSMISSIONS OVERVIEW
The New Holland 1720 features a 12-speed gear transmission with a mechanical shuttle, providing precise control over speed and direction, which is advantageous for tasks requiring swift directional changes, such as loader work. This setup enhances operator efficiency, but may pose a learning curve for users unfamiliar with mechanical shuttles. Ideal for small to medium agricultural operations, its robust design facilitates a range of field applications while maintaining reliable performance.

TRANSMISSION 1
The New Holland 1720 tractor employs a gear transmission system, featuring 12 forward and 4 reverse gears, which provides versatility in speed and torque for varying agricultural tasks. The three gears (1-3) within each of the four ranges enhance operational efficiency, enabling smooth transitions for different load conditions. This setup is advantageous for precision tasks like tilling or mowing, but may require additional operator skill to navigate gear selection effectively, especially in variable terrain.

TRANSMISSION 2
The New Holland 1720 features a mechanical shuttle transmission with 12 forward and reverse gears, offering precise control over speed and torque. The four synchronized gears in each of the four ranges enhance operational efficiency, making it suitable for tasks requiring frequent directional changes. However, the mechanical shuttle may be less forgiving during rapid shifts compared to hydraulic systems, potentially leading to increased operator fatigue during extended use.

NEW HOLLAND 1720 TIRES
The New Holland 1720 tractor offers versatility with its 2WD and 4WD configurations, making it suitable for both agricultural and turf applications. The standard ag tires enhance traction and stability in various soil conditions, while the turf tires are designed for minimal ground disturbance during lawn maintenance. A potential challenge is the limited load capacity with the smaller front tires in 2WD; therefore, 4WD may be preferred for heavier applications or uneven terrain.
