OLIVER OC-18 TRANSMISSION
The Oliver OC-18's 4-speed gear transmission offers operators the ability to fine-tune power delivery for varying agricultural tasks, enhancing operational flexibility. However, the limited number of gears may pose challenges in applications requiring rapid speed changes or precise control over less predictable terrains. Ideal for moderate-scale farming operations, the OC-18 is well-suited for tasks that do not demand a more complex transmission system.
MECHANICAL
The Oliver OC-18, featuring a crawler drive system, provides excellent traction on uneven terrain, making it suitable for challenging agricultural and construction applications. Its open operator station enhances visibility and operator comfort but may expose the operator to harsh weather conditions. Key considerations include the crawler's maintenance needs and potential ground disturbance, which could be significant in delicate soil types.
