ENGINE DETAIL

The Massey Ferguson 1528 features a compact 1.5L Iseki diesel engine, delivering 28.4 hp at 2500 RPM, making it suitable for small to medium agricultural tasks with efficiency. Its liquid-cooling system and modest oil/coolant capacities (3.8 qts oil, 5.8 qts coolant) ensure reliable operation and simplified maintenance, though higher ambient temperatures may challenge cooling efficiency. This tractor is advantageous for tight spaces, but its limited power may not suffice for heavy-duty applications, making it best-suited for light-duty jobs like mowing or tilling in small plots.

TRANSMISSIONS OVERVIEW

The Massey Ferguson 1528 features a 9-speed hydrostatic transmission, allowing for seamless power delivery and precise control over a range of speeds suitable for various agricultural tasks. The hydrostatic system reduces wear and maintenance costs, providing efficient operation in both field and transport scenarios. However, its 9-speed transmission may limit high-speed applications compared to tractors with more gears, making it less ideal for large-scale operations requiring rapid travel.

TRANSMISSION 1

The Massey Ferguson 1528 features a 9-speed forward and 3-speed reverse gear system, providing versatility for various agricultural tasks. With an oil capacity of 30.6 quarts (29.0 liters), it promotes efficient cooling and lubrication, essential for prolonged operational life. However, the 9/3 gear configuration may require careful selection for optimal performance in different field conditions.

Type	gear
Gears	9 forward and 3 reverse
Oil capacity	30.6qts / 29.0L

TRANSMISSION 2

The Massey Ferguson 1528 features a hydrostatic transmission, providing smooth and precise control for various tasks, ideal for operations in tight spaces or on varying terrain. With infinite forward and reverse gears across three ranges, it enhances flexibility in speed selection, making it suitable for both heavy-duty fieldwork and light gardening. However, while hydrostatic systems offer ease of use, they may have a higher maintenance requirement compared to mechanical gear systems.
