Which tractor transmission system suits you?
Tractors are a part of daily life for many groundsmen and greenkeepers.
They are the beasts of burden: loading trailers, towing trailers, tipping loads, towing mowers and powering attachments like aerators and sprayers.
Since the invention of the modern tractor (by Harry Ferguson in the 1930’s) there have of course been many changes to the size, power and comfort of a tractor. If you compare the old steel pan seat on a leaf spring, to the modern full suspension seat, possibly in an air conditioned cab, of today’s machines it is easy to see just how far tractors have evolved.
One of the major changes has been to the transmission systems available on a modern tractor, and the choice that the potential buyer faces when purchasing a new machine. In this video we look at the current offerings and try to establish the benefits of each transmission type.
