MECHANICAL
The Massey Ferguson 1098 features a 4x2 2WD chassis, providing suitable traction for basic agricultural tasks but limited performance on uneven terrain or in adverse weather conditions. Its power steering enhances maneuverability, while the disc brakes offer reliable stopping power, essential for safety during rigorous operation. The open operator station design may improve visibility but could expose the operator to environmental elements, which is a consideration for prolonged outdoor use.
