John Deere 216 Extra Transmission Notes
Gear note
The John Deere 216 transmission listing includes 12F/12R forward/reverse gears and a 12-speed transmission figure. That is stronger than a vague transmission label because it gives real gear-count detail
Speed note
For travel-speed comparison, the John Deere 216 is listed with 5.5 mph forward speed and 3.2 mph reverse speed. Reverse speed is noticeably lower than forward speed, which is common on many tractor transmissions
Options note
The John Deere 216 option list includes PowerShift. That keeps the option listing fairly simple, but the exact package should still be checked on the individual tractor
Official information note
Mistakes do happen. Transmission specs can change by year, trim, region, tire size and option package. Please check the operator manual, build sheet and official deere.com website for official information.
