ENGINE DETAIL

The Massey Ferguson 1529 tractor features a compact Iseki 3-cylinder diesel engine, presenting an optimal balance of 28.4 hp at a rated RPM of 2500, making it ideal for light to medium-duty applications. With a peak torque of 67.3 lb-ft at 1500 RPM, it offers efficient power delivery for tasks requiring robust low-end torque, such as plowing and hauling. The dry air cleaner and manageable oil (3.3 qts) and coolant (6.5 qts) capacities enhance serviceability, though operators should consider potential challenges regarding cooling system efficiency in hotter climates due to relatively compact coolant capacity.

TRANSMISSION

The Massey Ferguson 1529 features a SynchroShuttle transmission with 8 forward and reverse gears, providing smooth gear shifting for enhanced maneuverability, particularly in tight or challenging workspaces. The oil capacity of 36 quarts (34.1 liters) ensures adequate lubrication and cooling of the drivetrain components, contributing to longevity and reliability. However, the 8-speed transmission, while adequate for many applications, may limit productivity in tasks requiring rapid speed changes or heavy towing when compared to models with more gears.
