MASSEY FERGUSON 155 POWER
ENGINES OVERVIEW
The Massey Ferguson 155 tractor offers two engine options: a Perkins 3.3L 4-cylinder diesel, providing enhanced torque and efficiency for heavy-duty applications, and a Perkins 2.5L 3-cylinder diesel, which is lighter and more fuel-efficient for standard farm operations. Key advantages include the 3.3L engine's superior power output for tillage and hauling, while the 2.5L engine excels in reducing operational costs with lower fuel consumption. Considerations include the trade-off between the more robust performance of the larger engine versus increased fuel efficiency and maintenance simplicity of the smaller variant, depending on the specific agricultural tasks.

ENGINE DETAIL 1
The Massey Ferguson 155 is powered by a Perkins AD4.203 diesel engine, featuring a robust torque output of 141 lb-ft at 1200 RPM, which enhances its performance for agricultural tasks requiring significant pulling power at lower engine speeds. With a rated power of 54 hp and a compression ratio of 17.4:1, this tractor offers a good balance of fuel efficiency and reliability, particularly advantageous for heavy-duty applications. However, its 12-quart coolant capacity and 8.5-quart oil capacity necessitate regular maintenance to ensure optimal thermal management and lubrication, crucial for prolonged operation in demanding conditions.

ENGINE DETAIL 2
The Massey Ferguson 155 features a Perkins A3.152 diesel engine with a displacement of 2.5L, providing a competitive power output of 45 hp at a rated RPM of 2000, which is ideal for medium-duty agricultural tasks. The indirect injection fuel system and a compression ratio of 17.4:1 enhance fuel efficiency and engine performance, although they may result in slightly lower power delivery compared to direct injection systems. With oil and coolant capacities of 6.8 quarts and 9 quarts respectively, maintenance is manageable, but operators should monitor fluid levels regularly to ensure optimal engine operation.

TRANSMISSIONS OVERVIEW
The Massey Ferguson 155 tractor, equipped with an 8-speed transmission, offers straightforward operation ideal for general farming tasks, while the 12-speed variant provides finer control over speed and torque, enhancing versatility for diverse applications. The 12-speed option allows for better adaptability in varying field conditions, making it suitable for more specialized tasks. However, the increased complexity of the 12-speed system may lead to higher maintenance requirements compared to the simpler 8-speed configuration.
| Description |
8-speed 12-speed |
TRANSMISSION 1
The Massey Ferguson 155 features an 8-speed forward and 2-speed reverse transmission, offering versatility in various field conditions and enabling efficient maneuverability. With an oil capacity of 32 quarts (30.3 liters), it supports extended operational periods while ensuring adequate lubrication for the engine and hydraulics, which can be advantageous for maintaining performance during prolonged use. However, the oil capacity may require careful monitoring to avoid under-lubrication, potentially leading to overheating in demanding scenarios.

MECHANICAL
The Massey Ferguson 155 features a 4x2 2WD chassis, which offers adequate traction for light agricultural tasks but may struggle on uneven terrain compared to 4WD alternatives. Its standard rear differential lock enhances traction in muddy conditions, while the wet disc brakes provide reliable stopping power and longevity. However, the manual steering might require more effort during prolonged operation, and the open operator station limits comfort and protection in adverse weather conditions.
