TRANSMISSION
The Steyr 280 tractor features a 7-speed forward and 1-speed reverse gear configuration, allowing for versatile speed management and efficient operation in varied field conditions. The high number of forward gears facilitates optimal power delivery and fuel efficiency during tasks such as plowing or hauling. However, the lack of intermediate gears may limit adaptability for more precise speed control in specific scenarios, like delicate planting operations.

MECHANICAL
The Steyr 280 tractor features a 4x2 2WD chassis which offers simplicity in design but may limit traction in challenging terrain. Its manual steering allows for precise control but requires more physical effort from the operator compared to power-assisted systems. The 7-speed transmission provides a range of speed options, beneficial for various agricultural tasks, but may present a learning curve for operators unfamiliar with manual gear shifting.
