MECHANICAL
The Massey Ferguson 147 features a 4x2 2WD chassis, providing basic traction suitable for light to moderate tasks but may struggle in wet or uneven terrains. The drum brake system is cost-effective and reliable for routine applications, although it may have slower response times compared to modern disc brakes. With an 8-speed transmission, the tractor allows for versatile speed adjustments, making it beneficial for both field operations and transport, yet it may lack the fluidity of higher gear options found in contemporary models.
