ENGINE DETAIL

The Massey Ferguson 1030 tractor features a Toyosha MS142 diesel engine with a compact displacement of 1.4L and a power output of 26hp, making it suitable for light to moderate agricultural tasks. Its indirect injection fuel system and 23:1 compression ratio enhance fuel efficiency and torque delivery, beneficial for field applications. However, the relatively low power may limit its capacity for heavy-duty operations, so it is best utilized in scenarios requiring maneuverability over raw power.

MASSEY FERGUSON 1030 ENGINE

The Massey Ferguson 1030 is powered by a Toyosha 1.4L 3-cylinder diesel engine, providing compact yet efficient power, well-suited for smaller farms or gardens. With a 7.8-gallon fuel tank, it offers reasonable autonomy for short to medium tasks, though frequent refueling might be necessary for prolonged operations. Challenges include potential limitations in power for heavy-duty implements, but its size and efficiency make it advantageous for maneuverability in tight spaces.

TRANSMISSION

The Massey Ferguson 1030 tractor features a gear transmission with 12 forward and 3 reverse gears, enabling versatile speed and torque management for various agricultural tasks. Its 215.9mm dry disc clutch provides reliable engagement but may require more frequent maintenance under heavy loads compared to hydraulic clutches. With an oil capacity of 29.6 quarts (28.0L), ensure regular checks to maintain optimal lubrication and performance, particularly in extended operational scenarios.

Description Four gears (1-4) plus reverse (R) in three ranges (L/M/H).

MECHANICAL

The Massey Ferguson 1030's configuration of 2WD and 4WD options enhances versatility for varied terrain and farming tasks. Given the manual steering on 2WD and power assist on 4WD, operators may experience increased maneuverability in challenging conditions with the latter. However, its open operator station may expose users to environmental elements, which could be a consideration for comfort during prolonged use.
