TRANSMISSIONS OVERVIEW
The Valmet 555 tractor features an 8-speed transmission with an integrated 8-speed creeper gear, enabling versatility in speed management for various tasks, especially in agriculture and terrain operations. This dual-range system allows for slow-speed precision in tasks such as plowing or tilling while also providing higher speeds for transport. A potential challenge may arise in mastering gear shifts effectively, as increased options can complicate operation for less experienced users.

TRANSMISSION 1
The Valmet 555 tractor features a combination of 8 forward and 4 reverse gears, enhancing its versatility in various operational scenarios, from slow plowing to fast transport. The 280mm dry disc clutch provides reliable power transfer but may require more maintenance under heavy loads compared to hydraulic alternatives. Users should consider the gear range's suitability for specific tasks, as the low/high range may limit performance in very steep terrains or high-speed applications.
