TRANSMISSION 1
The Yanmar AF-160 tractor features an 8-speed shuttle transmission, allowing for seamless forward and reverse operation, which enhances efficiency in tasks requiring frequent direction changes. This type of gear system provides better control and precision during maneuvering, making it advantageous for both agricultural and landscaping applications. However, the complexity of an 8-speed system may require more maintenance compared to simpler transmission types, so operators should ensure regular checks on gear performance to avoid operational issues.
