ENGINE DETAIL
The Massey Ferguson 1428 features a compact Iseki diesel 3-cylinder engine with a 1.5L displacement, which offers efficient power delivery of 28.4hp at a rated speed of 2500 RPM, making it suitable for light agricultural tasks and small farm operations. Its Tier 2 emissions classification indicates relatively lower emissions, beneficial for compliance in less stringent environments, but may limit use in regions with stricter standards. The indirect fuel injection system provides good fuel efficiency but may lead to slightly higher maintenance needs due to the complexity of the fuel system.

MASSEY FERGUSON 1428 TIRES
The Massey Ferguson 1428 tractor is equipped with 12.5/80-18 tires both at the front and rear, which provides balanced traction and stability on varied terrain. The agricultural rear tires enhance soil protection and crop health, while the industrial front tires improve durability and maneuverability on hard surfaces. This configuration is ideal for operators requiring versatility between agricultural tasks and light industrial use, but may present challenges in mud performance due to the limited tread depth of the tire design.
