TRANSMISSION
The Volvo 470 tractor features a 5-speed forward and 1-speed reverse gear system, allowing for versatile operation in various agricultural tasks. Its 355.6mm dry disc clutch offers strong engagement but may present challenges in heavy-duty applications due to wear from heat build-up. The oil capacity of 58.1 qts (55.0 L) supports extended operational time between maintenance, making it ideal for prolonged fieldwork scenarios.

MECHANICAL
The Volvo 470 tractor, featuring a 4x2 2WD chassis, is designed for straightforward operations in flat terrain, but may struggle with stability in hilly applications due to its limited drive configuration. The manual steering and mechanical shoe brakes provide simplicity and ease of maintenance, but may fall short in responsiveness and braking efficiency compared to hydraulic systems. Its open operator station offers visibility and accessibility, although the ROPS option increases safety, making it suitable for light agricultural tasks or utility work where cost-effectiveness is a priority.
