John Deere LX279 Extra Transmission Notes
Speed note
The John Deere LX279 transmission speed listing gives 5.5 mph forward and 3 mph reverse. Reverse speed is noticeably lower than forward speed, which is common on many tractor transmissions
Options note
The John Deere LX279 transmission-options field shows hydrostatic. That keeps the option listing fairly simple, but the exact package should still be checked on the individual tractor
Official information note
