MASSEY FERGUSON 1440 ENGINE

The Massey Ferguson 1440, equipped with a compact Iseki 1.5L 3-cylinder diesel engine, offers efficient fuel consumption and robust power output suitable for small to medium agricultural tasks. With a 7.9-gallon (29.9L) fuel tank, it provides a reasonable operational range, making it advantageous for extended use in fieldwork without frequent refueling. However, users should be mindful of the potential challenge of limited power for heavier tasks compared to larger tractors, making it best suited for lighter applications such as mowing or tilling.

TRANSMISSIONS OVERVIEW

The Massey Ferguson 1440 features a 16-speed hydrostatic transmission, offering precise speed control, ideal for tasks requiring varying power output like plowing or harvesting. Its 8-speed standard transmission provides higher efficiency in transport modes, but may limit versatility in varying terrain. Consider the operational demands when choosing between these options, as hydrostatic systems can enhance ease of use but may incur higher maintenance costs.

Description 16-speed hydrostatic 8-speed

TRANSMISSION 1

The Massey Ferguson 1440's SynchroShuttle transmission facilitates seamless gear shifts, enhancing productivity during various field tasks. With 16 forward and reverse gears, it allows for optimal speed management and maneuverability, crucial for diverse agricultural operations. The dry disc clutch contributes to reduced maintenance requirements but may offer less smooth engagement compared to damped alternatives, which could affect operator comfort in prolonged use.

TRANSMISSION 2

The Massey Ferguson 1440 features a PowerShuttle transmission with 16 forward and reverse gears, enabling smooth and efficient direction changes, which is advantageous for applications requiring frequent maneuvering, such as tillage and loader work. The wet disc clutch ensures enhanced durability and reduces maintenance needs, though it may lead to higher initial costs compared to traditional clutches. Overall, it excels in versatility for both agricultural and industrial tasks but may necessitate operator training to fully leverage its advanced features.

TRANSMISSION 3

The Massey Ferguson 1440 tractor features a hydrostatic transmission, allowing for smooth and precise speed control without the need for gear shifting. Its infinite 3-range forward and reverse functionality enhances versatility in applications ranging from towing to fieldwork. However, operators should be aware of potential power loss in extreme conditions, which can limit performance under heavy loads.

Gears infinite (3-range) forward and reverse

TRANSMISSION 4

The Massey Ferguson 1440 features a SynchroShuttle transmission, offering smooth gear changes with 8 forward and reverse speeds, enhancing maneuverability in various field operations. The dry disc clutch provides reliable power transfer but may require more maintenance compared to wet clutches. This setup is advantageous for applications requiring frequent directional changes, such as loader work or orchard cultivation, though operators should be mindful of potential clutch wear in heavy-duty usage.

MECHANICAL

The Massey Ferguson 1440 features a robust 4x4 MFWD system, providing enhanced traction for varied terrains, making it ideal for fieldwork and heavy-duty applications. Its power steering ensures ease of maneuverability, while the wet disc brakes offer superior stopping power and reduced maintenance compared to traditional systems. The optional soft-side weather cab enhances operator comfort, though one should consider visibility and ventilation in enclosed spaces, especially during prolonged use.
