TRANSMISSION 1
The Oliver 1655 tractor features a Hydraul-Shift transmission with a partial power shift system, enabling efficient gear transitions without clutch engagement in high-stress applications, ideal for heavy-duty fieldwork. With 18 forward and 6 reverse gears, it offers versatility in speed and torque adjustment, suitable for varied agricultural tasks. However, the 304.8 mm dry disc clutch may require more frequent maintenance, particularly in demanding operational conditions.
