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 ENGINE

The Massey Ferguson 1428 equipped with an Iseki 1.5L 3-cylinder diesel engine offers a compact and efficient power-to-weight ratio, suitable for small to medium-scale farming operations. Its 6.1-gallon (23.1L) fuel tank allows for extended work periods without frequent refueling, making it ideal for tasks like tilling and mowing in remote areas. However, operators should consider the limited power output for demanding implements, which may require a more robust tractor in heavy-duty applications.

TRANSMISSIONS OVERVIEW

The Massey Ferguson 1428 features a 9-speed hydrostatic transmission, offering smooth and efficient power delivery for various field operations. This system enables precise speed control, enhancing maneuverability and reducing operator fatigue during long hours of use. However, potential challenges may arise in terms of maintenance complexity and cost compared to simpler gear-driven alternatives.

Description 9-speed gear hydrostatic

TRANSMISSION 1

The Massey Ferguson 1428 features a 9-forward and 3-reverse gear configuration, offering flexibility in speed and control for various agricultural tasks. The dry disc clutch provides reliable engagement and disengagement, though it may limit performance in heavy-duty applications compared to oil-bath clutches. Ideal for small to medium farms, its transmission setup allows for efficient maneuvering in tight spaces, while the clutch type enhances maintenance simplicity.

Gears 9 forward and 3 reverse
Clutch dry disc

TRANSMISSION 2

The Massey Ferguson 1428 tractor features an infinite hydrostatic transmission, which allows for seamless speed adjustment across three forward and reverse ranges, enhancing operator control and efficiency in various field applications. This design minimizes wear on mechanical components, offering a smoother driving experience and reducing maintenance needs. However, hydrostatic systems can sometimes have lower power transfer efficiency compared to traditional gear systems, which may affect performance in heavy-duty scenarios.

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.
