TRANSMISSION
The Steyr 280a tractor features a 7-speed forward and 1-speed reverse gear transmission, allowing for versatile control in various agricultural applications. This multi-speed system enhances operational efficiency by enabling precise speed adjustments, crucial for tasks like plowing and tilling. However, the limited reverse gear may pose challenges in maneuverability in confined spaces, necessitating careful forward planning during operations.

MECHANICAL
The Steyr 280a features a 4x2 2WD chassis, which offers excellent traction on flat terrain but may struggle in muddy or uneven conditions compared to a 4WD system. The manual steering provides operators with direct feedback, though it can lead to increased effort during sharp turns, particularly at lower speeds. With a 7-speed transmission, this tractor offers versatility in speed selection for various tasks, but operators must be proficient in gear shifting to maximize efficiency.
