The 301-B offers two transmission configurations. The standard model is equipped with a 4-speed gearbox providing 4 forward gears and 1 reverse gear. Alternatively, the tractor could be fitted with the 'Tripl-Range' transmission, which expands the range to 12 forward gears and 3 reverse gears, allowing for greater speed control and versatility in agricultural operations.
