TRANSMISSION
The Oliver 600 tractor features a non-synchronized gear transmission with 6 forward and 2 reverse gears, providing adequate torque for varied terrain. Its limited gear selection may present challenges in fine-tuning speed for specific tasks, such as plowing versus hauling. This makes it ideal for straightforward agricultural applications but less adaptable for precision operations.

MECHANICAL
The Oliver 600 features a 4x2 2WD chassis, which enhances maneuverability in moderately uneven terrain but limits traction on slippery surfaces. Its open operator station provides good visibility and ease of access, but may expose the operator to environmental conditions. The 6-speed gear transmission enables versatile speed control, making it suitable for various tasks, though it may require skillful gear shifting for optimal performance in heavy-duty applications.
