OLIVER OC-15 TRANSMISSION
The Oliver OC-15 features a 4-speed gear transmission, which allows for versatile speed selection and improved efficiency across various tasks. This setup is advantageous for both agricultural operations and general utility, enabling operators to adapt to different load conditions and terrain. However, the limited number of gears may restrict optimal performance in highly variable conditions compared to tractors with more advanced transmission systems.
MECHANICAL
The Oliver OC-15 is a crawler tractor equipped with mechanical contracting band brakes, ideal for varied terrain and enhanced control during operation. Its open operator station provides good visibility but may expose the operator to environmental elements. Advantages include robust traction for challenging ground conditions, while challenges may arise in operator comfort and exposure to debris or weather.
