TRANSMISSION

The Yanmar 221 features a hydrostatic transmission, providing infinite forward and reverse gear options, which enhances operational flexibility and ease of use, particularly in tight spaces or varied terrain. Its oil capacity of 16.4 quarts (15.5 liters) allows for effective lubrication and cooling, but regular maintenance checks are essential to ensure optimal performance. This tractor is well-suited for small to medium-scale agricultural tasks, but users should be aware of the potential for increased fluid maintenance due to the hydrostatic system's design.
