TRANSMISSION
The Yanmar Ke-160 features an 8-forward and 4-reverse collar shift transmission, which allows for smooth gear transitions and enhanced control in various field conditions. The 8-speed configuration is advantageous for optimizing engine performance and fuel efficiency across different tasks, from plowing to transport. However, operator skill may be required to master the collar shift mechanism, potentially posing a challenge for less experienced users.

YANMAR KE-160 TIRES
The Yanmar Ke-160 tractor features a front tire size range of 5-12 and a rear tire range of 8-16, which provides optimal stability and traction for agricultural tasks. The smaller front tires facilitate maneuverability in tighter spaces, while the larger rear tires enhance load capacity and ground engagement, making it suitable for diverse fieldwork scenarios. Consideration must be given to soil compaction, as larger rear tires can reduce ground pressure but may not be ideal for softer terrains depending on the specific application.
