John Deere 4255 Extra Transmission Notes
Gear note
The John Deere 4255 transmission listing includes 16F/6R forward/reverse gears and 16-speed and 15-speed transmission figures. That is stronger than a vague transmission label because it gives real gear-count detail
Speed note
For travel-speed comparison, the John Deere 4255 is listed with 18.5 mph forward speed and 7.5 mph reverse speed. Reverse speed is noticeably lower than forward speed, which is common on many tractor transmissions
Options note
The John Deere 4255 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.
