TRANSMISSION
The Oliver G955 tractor's three-range power shift provides efficient gear selection with 18 forward and 6 reverse speeds, enhancing versatility for various field conditions. The use of a dry disc clutch may pose a challenge in high-stress applications due to potential overheating, while its six-speed gear system allows precise control during operation. Ideal for tasks requiring adaptability, this tractor can easily switch between heavy tillage and lighter tasks, maximizing productivity in diverse agricultural scenarios.

MECHANICAL
The Oliver G955 tractor features a 4x2 2WD chassis, which provides better maneuverability in less challenging terrains but may struggle with traction on slippery or uneven surfaces compared to 4WD models. Its hydrostatic power steering offers enhanced responsiveness and ease of handling, making it suitable for operators requiring precision in tight spaces. The 18-speed three-range power shift transmission allows for versatile speed management, facilitating both fieldwork and transport applications; however, the open operator station may expose the operator to adverse weather conditions unless the cab is opted for.

OLIVER G955 TIRES
The Oliver G955 tractor features a front tire size of 10.00-16, which offers good maneuverability and traction for front-end implements, while the rear tire size of 18.4-38 provides substantial ground contact and stability, ideal for heavy tillage or hauling tasks. However, its narrow front tires may limit stability when operating on uneven terrain. Overall, this tractor excels in larger farming operations requiring robust performance with a potential trade-off in front-end weight distribution during cornering.

DIMENSIONS & TIRES
The Oliver G955 tractor features a robust wheelbase of 111 inches, providing stability for heavy-duty operations, especially beneficial in agricultural tasks requiring balance over uneven terrain. Weighing 11,900 lbs, it can handle significant load capacities while the front tire size of 10.00-16 enhances maneuverability, whereas the rear 18.4-38 tires facilitate traction on soft soil. However, this weight and tire configuration may pose challenges in transportability and could require a heavier-duty trailer for movement.
