ENGINE DETAIL
The Massey Ferguson 1240 tractor, powered by the Iseki TK527 3-cylinder diesel engine, offers a compact yet powerful solution with 30hp at a rated RPM of 2500, making it suitable for lighter agricultural tasks and utility work. Its indirect fuel injection system improves fuel economy and emissions but may result in less immediate throttle response, which could pose challenges during quick maneuvering. With a torque output of 69 lb-ft peaking at 1500 RPM, it provides adequate pulling power, ideal for tasks such as towing implements or hauling materials on small farms.

MASSEY FERGUSON 1240 ENGINE
The Massey Ferguson 1240 tractor is equipped with a robust Iseki 1.5L 3-cylinder diesel engine, providing reliable torque and fuel efficiency for small to medium farming tasks. Key advantages include its compact size for maneuverability in tight spaces and lower operating costs typical of diesel engines. However, operators may find the limited horsepower (around 24 HP) could be a constraint for larger implements or more demanding agricultural operations.

TRANSMISSION
The Massey Ferguson 1240 features a synchro shuttle transmission with 16 forward and reverse gears, enhancing maneuverability and operational efficiency for varied tasks. Its 225mm dry disc clutch delivers reliable engagement under load, although it may require more frequent maintenance than hydraulic systems. The four gears in four ranges facilitate optimized power delivery, making it suitable for both heavy-duty fieldwork and precise applications in tight spaces.

MECHANICAL
The Massey Ferguson 1240 tractor's 4x2 and 4x4 MFWD options provide versatility for various terrains, making it suitable for both flat and hilly landscapes. The wet disc braking system enhances safety and reduces maintenance by minimizing wear compared to traditional brakes, while the 16-speed synchro shuttle transmission improves operator control during tasks like loader work. However, its two-post foldable ROPS may limit protection compared to a full cab, warranting caution in rollover-prone environments.

DIMENSIONS & TIRES
The Massey Ferguson 1240 features a compact wheelbase of 64.6 inches, enhancing maneuverability in tight spaces, making it ideal for small-scale farming and landscaping tasks. Its weight range of 2535 to 2645 pounds provides stability during operation, particularly when towing or implementing front-end attachments. However, the tire sizes (5.00-15 front and 11.2-24 rear) may limit traction in soft soil conditions, potentially hampering performance in muddy or uneven terrains.
