TRANSMISSIONS OVERVIEW
The Yanmar FX255 tractor features a 9-speed partial power shift transmission with an 18-speed creeper option, providing versatile speed control for various agricultural tasks, including tilling and planting in challenging terrains. The partial power shift enhances operator efficiency by allowing seamless gear changes under load, while the creeper gear is ideal for precise low-speed applications. However, the complexity of the transmission system may require more maintenance and technical familiarity compared to simpler alternatives, which could impact operational downtime if issues arise.

YANMAR FX255 TIRES
The Yanmar FX255 offers a versatile 2WD and 4WD option, with the 2WD configuration ideally suited for less demanding agricultural tasks and light terrain, while the 4WD enhances traction and stability on uneven or slippery surfaces. The tire sizes—5.00-15 in front and 11.2-24 in rear for 2WD, and 7-16 in front for 4WD—indicate a good balance between flotation and durability, allowing effective operation in various soil types. Consider the application; 2WD may lower operating costs but compromise performance in muddy conditions, whereas 4WD provides superior capability at a higher maintenance and fuel cost.
