MECHANICAL
The Massey Ferguson 142 tractor features a versatile 4x2 2WD and 4x4 MFWD system, providing flexibility for various terrains; however, the mechanical drum brakes may require more maintenance compared to hydraulic systems. Its two-post mid-mount folding ROPS enhances operator safety during operation, although limited overhead protection could be a concern in adverse conditions. The 8-speed transmission offers adequate speed range for general tasks, but may not provide the precision needed for specialized operations, potentially affecting efficiency.

MASSEY FERGUSON 142 TIRES
The Massey Ferguson 142 tractor offers versatility with a 2WD and 4WD option, allowing operation in varied terrains; the 5x16 Ag front tires facilitate maneuverability in tight spaces, while the 7x18 offers better traction for heavier loads. The 10x24 or 12.4/11x24 Ag rear tires enhance stability and soil aeration, critical for agricultural applications. However, 2WD may limit performance in muddy conditions, making 4WD preferable for challenging landscapes.
