TRANSMISSION 1
The Zetor Utilix 55 features a mechanical shuttle transmission, ensuring smooth directional changes and control during operation. With 16 forward and reverse gears, it provides versatile speed and torque options tailored for various agricultural tasks, enhancing productivity. However, users may experience a learning curve with gear selection, particularly in challenging terrains or when performing complex maneuvers.
| Type | mechanical shuttle |
| Gears | 16 forward and reverse |
TRANSMISSION 2
The Zetor Utilix 55 tractor features a hydrostatic transmission that provides infinite gear selection across three ranges forward and reverse, enhancing maneuverability and operator control in varied conditions. This setup is advantageous for tasks requiring precise speed adjustments, such as tilling or transporting materials on uneven terrain. However, the hydrostatic system may require more maintenance than traditional gear systems, potentially affecting long-term operational costs.

| Gears | infinite (3-range) forward and reverse |
MECHANICAL
The Zetor Utilix 55 features a 4x4 MFWD configuration, enhancing traction on varied terrains, which is particularly advantageous for agricultural tasks. Its mechanical rear differential lock improves performance on slopes or uneven ground, while the 16-speed mechanical shuttle hydrostatic transmission offers versatility in speed control for different operational requirements. The option of air-conditioning in the two-post folding ROPS cab provides operator comfort in extended work sessions, but the folding design may limit protection in severe weather conditions.

ZETOR UTILIX 55 TIRES
The Zetor Utilix 55 tractor features standard agricultural tires (240/70R16 front and 320/70R24 rear), providing excellent traction and stability for tillage and crop application in moderate soil types. The optional industrial tires (12-16.5 front and 17.5L-24 rear) enhance versatility for construction or material handling, but may compromise agricultural performance due to altered ground contact pressure. Optimal tire selection depends on the primary application; prioritizing agricultural work favors standard tires, while industrial tasks benefit from the robust build of the industrial tires.
