ENGINE DETAIL

The Massey Ferguson 1235 features an Iseki E3CD diesel engine with a compact 1.5L displacement, generating 32hp and 71.6 lb-ft of torque at 1800 RPM, which provides adequate power for light to moderate farming tasks. Its indirect fuel injection system contributes to smoother operation, while the 21.8:1 compression ratio ensures efficient combustion but may require high-quality diesel to maintain performance. The dry air cleaner and glow plug pre-heating enhance reliability in colder climates, yet a limited coolant capacity of 7.5 quarts may demand closer attention to cooling needs during prolonged operations.

TRANSMISSION

The Massey Ferguson 1235 features a hydrostatic transmission, allowing for precise control of speed and an infinite number of gear selections within its 3-range system, which can enhance operational efficiency in varying terrains. This design is advantageous for applications requiring frequent speed adjustments, such as tilling or mowing, but may result in higher maintenance costs compared to traditional gear systems. An ideal scenario for this tractor is in small to medium-sized farms where versatility and ease of use are paramount.

Gears infinite (3-range) forward and reverse

MECHANICAL

The Massey Ferguson 1235 features a 4WD MFWD chassis, enhancing traction and stability on varied terrains, which is advantageous for demanding agricultural tasks. Its hydrostatic transmission provides seamless speed control, beneficial for operators needing precision in speed adjustments, though it may have higher maintenance costs compared to mechanical transmissions. The wet disc braking system offers superior stopping power and reduced wear, but could pose challenges in terms of replacement complexity over time.
