OLIVER SUPER 88 TRANSMISSION
The Oliver Super 88 features a robust 6-speed transmission that offers enhanced versatility for various field tasks, providing operators with optimal torque and speed management. This allows effective performance across different terrains and conditions, a significant advantage for heavy-duty applications. However, mastering the gear shifting may present a learning curve for new operators, particularly in more challenging farming situations.
MECHANICAL
The Oliver Super 88 features a two-wheel drive system, which provides adequate traction for light to moderate agricultural tasks but may struggle in challenging terrain. Its manual steering offers simplicity and reliability, though it may require more physical effort for maneuverability compared to power steering. The differential dry disc brakes ensure effective stopping power but can produce wear over time, necessitating periodic maintenance to uphold performance.
