TRANSMISSIONS OVERVIEW
The Yanmar YM1720 tractor features a 9-speed partial power shift coupled with a 12-speed creeper gear, providing enhanced versatility for various tasks, particularly in tight or low-speed scenarios like tilling or plowing. The partial power shift allows for seamless gear transitions under load, improving efficiency and reducing operator fatigue. However, mastering the shifting mechanism may pose a learning curve for new users, especially in demanding applications.

TRANSMISSION 1
The Yanmar YM1720's partial power shift transmission offers nine forward gears and three reverse gears over three ranges, allowing for optimized performance in various field conditions. This setup enhances the tractor's versatility, enabling smoother transitions between speeds for tasks like plowing or towing. However, the complexity of the transmission may lead to increased maintenance demands compared to tractors with more simplified gear systems.

TRANSMISSION 2
The Yanmar YM1720 features a creeper transmission with 12 forward and 4 reverse gears, allowing for precise speed control, especially in tight or challenging terrain. The addition of the creeper gear enhances low-speed performance, making it advantageous for operations like tilling or grading where accuracy is critical. However, the complexity of the gearbox may require specialized knowledge for maintenance, potentially posing a challenge for novice operators.

MECHANICAL
The Yanmar YM1720 features a 4x2 2WD or 4x4 MFWD configuration, allowing versatile traction options suited for various terrains, while 12-speed creeper transmission enhances low-speed control for precision tasks like tilling or mowing. Its open operator station may provide good visibility but lacks weather protection, which can be a concern in adverse conditions. The combination of partial power shift and a wide range of speeds offers flexibility, albeit with a potentially steeper learning curve for new operators.
