TRANSMISSION 1
The Massey Ferguson 1080's Multi-Power transmission offers a versatile two-speed power shift system, providing 12 forward and 4 reverse gears, which enhances operational efficiency in various field conditions. This feature allows for smoother gear transitions, improving productivity during tasks requiring frequent speed adjustments, such as plowing or cultivating. However, the reliance on a dry disc clutch (279.4 mm) necessitates regular maintenance to ensure optimal performance and longevity, challenging operators in high-use scenarios.

MASSEY FERGUSON 1080 TIRES
The Massey Ferguson 1080 tractor is equipped with 10.00x16 agricultural front tires and 23.1x30 rear tires, providing a good balance of traction and stability for fieldwork. The larger rear tires enhance flotation and reduce soil compaction, making it ideal for heavy-duty applications in diverse soil conditions. However, the front tire size may limit steering responsiveness in tight spaces compared to models with larger front tires, impacting maneuverability in smaller plots.
