ENGINE DETAIL
The Massey Ferguson 1225 features a robust Iseki E3112 diesel engine with a displacement of 1.1L, delivering 24.3 hp at 2800 RPM, which is suitable for light to moderate agricultural tasks. Its indirect injection fuel system enhances fuel efficiency, while the 22.5:1 compression ratio optimizes power output, though this may require higher quality fuel. The tractor’s low torque RPM at 2000 provides effective pulling power, ideal for tasks like towing or plowing in challenging terrains, but operators should be cautious of limited oil and coolant capacities, necessitating regular maintenance checks.

TRANSMISSIONS OVERVIEW
The Massey Ferguson 1225 features a 6-speed hydrostatic transmission, providing smooth and precise speed control for varied agricultural tasks. The hydrostatic system allows for effortless operation, especially in precision tasks such as mowing or loader work. However, the complexity of the system can lead to higher maintenance requirements compared to traditional gear-driven tractors, necessitating regular service checks for optimal performance.
| Description | 6-speed gear hydrostatic |
TRANSMISSION 1
The Massey Ferguson 1225 tractor features a 6-speed forward and 2-speed reverse gear system, which provides versatility for various field tasks while enhancing control over speed and torque. The 184mm dry disc clutch offers reliable engagement but may require more maintenance under heavy loads compared to hydraulic alternatives. Ideal for small to medium-sized agricultural operations, this configuration balances power efficiency with maneuverability.
| Type | gear |
| Gears | 6 forward and 2 reverse |
| Clutch | 184mm dry disc |
TRANSMISSION 2
The Massey Ferguson 1225's hydrostatic transmission offers seamless speed control, allowing operators to adjust the speed without shifting gears, which enhances maneuverability in tight spaces. With infinite forward and reverse speeds across two ranges, this tractor is ideal for varying tasks such as loading and transport. However, hydrostatic systems can be less efficient than gear-driven systems at higher speeds, which may be a consideration for operators focused on long-distance travel.

| Gears | infinite (2-range) forward and reverse |
MECHANICAL
The Massey Ferguson 1225 tractor features a 4x2 and 4x4 MFWD configuration, accommodating various terrain conditions for improved traction and stability. Its outboard planetary final drives enhance maneuverability but may pose challenges in maintenance accessibility due to their design. The 6-speed hydrostatic transmission offers smooth operation in variable conditions, though the mechanical dry shoe brakes may require more frequent adjustments for optimal performance.

MASSEY FERGUSON 1225 TIRES
The Massey Ferguson 1225 tractor is available in both 2WD and 4WD configurations, catering to diverse applications ranging from agricultural to turf maintenance. The 2WD variant has smaller front tires (5.00-12) compared to the 4WD (6.00-12), which can enhance maneuverability in tight spaces but may present traction limitations on uneven terrain. For turf applications, the designated lawn/turf tires provide reduced soil compaction and improved stability, making it ideal for landscape maintenance, albeit potentially sacrificing some rugged agricultural performance.
| 2WD Standard tires (ag) | Front: 5.00-12. Rear: 9.5-16 |
| 4WD Standard tires (ag) | Front: 6.00-12. Rear: 9.5-16 |
