TRANSMISSIONS OVERVIEW

The Massey Ferguson 1423 features a 6-speed hydrostatic transmission, which provides seamless speed adjustments and improved control during operation, making it ideal for various field tasks. The hydrostatic system enhances efficiency by allowing the operator to maintain consistent engine RPM while changing speeds, reducing wear on components. However, the complexity of hydrostatic systems may require more frequent maintenance and may be less efficient in terms of power loss compared to traditional gear systems during high-load applications.
