TRANSMISSION
The SAME 240 tractor features a 6-speed forward and 1-speed reverse transmission, offering a versatile gear ratio that is suitable for both high-speed field work and low-speed precision tasks. The inclusion of a gear/creeper option enhances its capability for tasks requiring meticulous control, such as planting or cultivating. However, operators may need to familiarize themselves with gear shifts to optimize performance in various agricultural scenarios.

MECHANICAL
The SAME 240 tractor offers a versatile drivetrain with optional MFWD for enhanced traction on varied terrains, making it suitable for both agricultural and utility tasks. The mechanical steering provides solid feedback but may require more effort compared to hydraulic systems, especially in tighter maneuvers. With a 6-speed transmission, operational speed versatility is achievable, but the limited drum brake system may challenge stopping power under heavier loads or inclined operations.
