TRANSMISSION
The Silver King 380 tractor features a straightforward gear transmission with 4 forward and 1 reverse gear, suitable for basic agricultural tasks. This simplicity allows for easy operation and maintenance, making it a good choice for small-scale farmers or those requiring low-speed precision. However, the limited number of gears may restrict its efficiency in varied terrain or when higher speeds are needed for larger operations.

MECHANICAL
The Silver King 380 features a 4x2 2WD chassis, which provides simplicity and is ideal for flat terrain but may struggle with traction on inclines or rough conditions. The manual steering system allows for direct control but can be less responsive, especially in tight spaces or during extended use. With a 4-speed transmission, the tractor offers versatility for various tasks, though operators may need to manually adjust gears frequently, which can impact efficiency during repetitive operations.
