ENGINE DETAIL

The Massey Ferguson 1526 features a compact and efficient Iseki 2600 diesel engine, providing 24.8 horsepower, making it suitable for light agricultural tasks and yard maintenance. Its 1.5L displacement and durable 3-cylinder design ensure good fuel economy while maintaining a balance between power and weight. However, with relatively low horsepower, it may not be ideal for heavy-duty applications or larger implements, where higher torque and power would be necessary.

MASSEY FERGUSON 1526 ENGINE

The Massey Ferguson 1526 features an Iseki 1.5L 3-cylinder diesel engine, which offers a compact design with efficient fuel consumption, beneficial for small to medium-sized farms. Its 8.3-gallon (31.4L) fuel tank allows for extended operation without frequent refueling, making it ideal for tasks that require sustained power, such as tilling or mowing. However, users should consider the engine's limited power output when planning for heavier workloads or implements.

TRANSMISSION

The Massey Ferguson 1526 features a hydrostatic transmission providing infinite speed variations within its 3-range system for both forward and reverse, enhancing maneuverability in diverse agricultural tasks. This allows operators to precisely control speed without the need for gear shifting, beneficial in applications such as towing or working in tight spaces. However, hydrostatic systems can entail higher maintenance costs and reduced overall power transfer efficiency compared to traditional gear-driven systems.

Gears infinite (3-range) forward and reverse

MECHANICAL

The Massey Ferguson 1526 features a 4x4 MFWD chassis which provides enhanced traction and stability in various terrains, making it ideal for agricultural applications. Its hydrostatic transmission offers seamless speed control, facilitating ease of operation, especially in tight spaces or during delicate tasks. However, wet disc brakes, while providing superior stopping power, may require more maintenance compared to conventional systems, especially in mud or waterlogged conditions.
