OLIVER G1355 ENGINE

The Oliver G1355 features a Minneapolis-Moline 9.6L 6-cylinder diesel engine, offering robust torque and power suitable for heavy-duty agricultural tasks. With a 40-gallon (151.4L) fuel tank, it provides extended operational range, reducing the frequency of refueling during long workdays. However, the engine's size coupled with its relatively large fuel capacity may lead to higher operational costs and increased weight, potentially affecting maneuverability in tighter farm spaces.

TRANSMISSIONS OVERVIEW

The Oliver G1355 features a 6-speed transmission combined with an 18-speed three-range power shift, providing versatile gear options for varied agricultural tasks. This setup enhances operational efficiency, allowing seamless shifts under load, which can improve productivity in field conditions. However, operators may face a learning curve in mastering the power shift system, especially when navigating complex terrains or varying load conditions.

TRANSMISSION 1

The Oliver G1355 features a 6-speed forward and 2-speed reverse transmission, providing operators with a versatile range for various field conditions and applications. This configuration allows for enhanced control and efficiency during operations such as plowing or transporting heavy loads. However, the limited number of speeds may pose challenges in situations requiring frequent gear changes, particularly in hilly or uneven terrain.

Gears 6 forward and 2 reverse

TRANSMISSION 2

The Oliver G1355 features a three-range power shift transmission with 18 forward and 6 reverse gears, providing versatile speed options for various tasks. Its hydraulically-activated shifting allows for smoother transitions under load, enhancing operator comfort and efficiency. However, the dry disc clutch may require more frequent maintenance compared to wet clutches; thus, considering the operational scenarios and frequency of use is crucial for long-term performance.
