MECHANICAL
The Massey Ferguson 122 features a 4x2 2WD chassis, suitable for flat terrain and light-duty applications, although less effective in muddy or hilly conditions due to limited traction. The mechanical rear differential lock enhances traction in challenging scenarios, while the manual steering offers simplicity but may require more effort during sharp turns. With an open operator station and mechanical disc brakes, this tractor is ideal for budget-conscious users, though the lack of a cab can expose the operator to environmental conditions.
