TRANSMISSIONS OVERVIEW
The Yanmar AF-17 tractor features an 8-speed or optional 12-speed creeper transmission, allowing for precise speed control during various agricultural tasks. This is advantageous for applications requiring meticulous work, such as tilling or planting in tight spaces. However, operators may need to adapt to the complexity of gear selection, especially in challenging terrains or variable loads.

TRANSMISSION 1
The Yanmar AF-17, with an 8-speed forward and reverse transmission, offers versatile gearing options that enhance maneuverability and operational efficiency in various agricultural tasks. This range allows for optimized torque management and speed adjustments, ideal for terrains requiring precise control. However, the complexity of an 8-speed transmission may introduce a steeper learning curve for operators not familiar with multi-gear systems, potentially impacting efficiency during initial use.

TRANSMISSION 2
The Yanmar AF-17 tractor features a creeper gear system with 12 forward and reverse gears, which enhances low-speed control and maneuverability for tasks such as tillage and landscape maintenance. A potential advantage is the ability to operate at very low speeds without stalling, though this may also result in reduced maximum speed for transport compared to tractors without creeper gears. Ideal for small-scale farms or gardening where precision and careful handling are crucial.

YANMAR AF-17 TIRES
The Yanmar AF-17 tractor is equipped with standard agricultural tires, featuring a front tire size of 6-12 and a rear size of 8.3-20, which enhances traction and stability on various terrains. The combination provides a good balance for both fieldwork and transport, favoring maneuverability and load capacity in small to medium-scale agricultural operations. However, the relatively smaller front tires may limit flexibility in deep or uneven soil conditions, necessitating careful planning in such environments.
