TRANSMISSIONS OVERVIEW

The Massey Ferguson 1120 features a 6-speed hydrostatic transmission, allowing for smooth and precise speed control, which is advantageous in applications requiring fine maneuverability like tilling or mowing. However, hydrostatic systems can lead to increased wear over time and may require more maintenance than traditional gear systems. This setup is ideal for users who prioritize ease of operation in varied terrain conditions.

TRANSMISSION 1

The Massey Ferguson 1120 tractor features a 6 forward and 2 reverse gear arrangement, providing versatility in various terrains and tasks, ideal for agricultural operations. The 184mm dry disc clutch offers reliable engagement, but may require careful management to prevent overheating during prolonged use. In scenarios requiring frequent direction changes, the dual-range gearing facilitates improved control and efficiency.

Gear 6 forward and 2 reverse
Clutch 184mm dry disc
Description Three gears (1-3) plus reverse (R) in two ranges.

TRANSMISSION 2

The Massey Ferguson 1120 features a hydrostatic drive system, offering smooth throttle control and infinite speed selection in both forward and reverse, which enhances maneuverability in tight agricultural settings. The 2-range capability allows for versatility in various tasks, optimizing performance for both high-torque tasks like plowing and high-speed fieldwork. However, hydrostatic systems can create higher maintenance costs and potential overheating issues under continuous heavy load.

MECHANICAL

The Massey Ferguson 1120, equipped with four-wheel drive, offers enhanced traction and stability on uneven terrain, making it suitable for various agricultural tasks, especially in challenging conditions. Manual steering may require more physical effort, but it allows for direct control when maneuvering in tight spaces. The mechanical drum brakes provide reliable stopping power, though they might not offer the same responsiveness as hydraulic systems, necessitating routine maintenance for optimal performance.

MASSEY FERGUSON 1120 TIRES

The Massey Ferguson 1120 tractor is equipped with versatile tire options, offering both agricultural (Ag) and lawn/turf configurations to enhance performance across varying terrains. The Ag tires (5.00-12 front and 8-18 rear) provide excellent traction and stability in farming applications, while the lawn/turf tires (20.5x8.00-10 front and 29.00x12.00-15 rear) are optimized for gentle ground pressure, making them ideal for mowing and landscaping. Selecting the appropriate tire type is crucial for maximizing efficiency and minimizing soil compaction based on the chosen application.
