TRANSMISSIONS OVERVIEW
The UTB/Universal 445 tractor features a 6-speed sliding gear transmission option, which offers simpler mechanics and lower manufacturing costs, but may lead to increased wear and tear under heavy load. Alternatively, the 9-speed constant mesh transmission provides smoother shifting and better torque management, enhancing operational efficiency, especially in varying field conditions. Choosing between these transmissions will depend on the anticipated usage; for consistent loads over long hours, the constant mesh is preferable, while lighter, irregular tasks may benefit from the simplicity of the sliding gear.

TRANSMISSION 1
The UTB/Universal 445 tractor features a sliding gear transmission with six forward and two reverse gears, providing a balance between power delivery and maneuverability. This configuration allows for effective operation in various agricultural tasks, though the sliding gear system may result in increased wear under heavy loads. Optimal for medium-scale farming, operators may need to be cautious of gear engagement to prevent potential slippage or damage during operation.

| Gears | 6 forward and 2 reverse |
SPEEDS
| Description | With 12.4-28 rear tires |
TRANSMISSION 2
The UTB/Universal 445 tractor features a constant mesh transmission, providing smooth gear engagement and enhanced durability under load. With 9 forward and 3 reverse gears, it offers versatile speed options suitable for varied agricultural tasks, although this complexity might require more operator skill for efficient use. Additionally, the 3 reverse gears improve maneuverability in tight spaces, making it advantageous for tasks like tilling or loading in confined areas.
| Type | constant mesh |
| Gears | 9 forward and 3 reverse |
MECHANICAL
The UTB/Universal 445 tractor features a 4x2 or optional 4x4 MFWD configuration, offering flexibility for varying terrain, especially beneficial for agricultural tasks on uneven ground. Its transmission options include a 6-speed sliding gear or a more advanced 9-speed constant mesh, allowing for smoother gear transitions and better torque management. The open operator station design enhances visibility and accessibility but lacks weather protection, which can be a drawback in adverse conditions.
