TRANSMISSIONS OVERVIEW
The Massey Ferguson 1552 tractor features an 8-speed transmission system, which offers a balance between operational efficiency and ease of use, suitable for light agricultural tasks. However, the 12-speed variant provides enhanced versatility with finer gear ratios for varied field conditions, optimizing performance in challenging terrains. For scenarios requiring frequent speed adjustments, the 12-speed transmission presents a distinct advantage, improving overall productivity and adaptability.

TRANSMISSION 1
The Massey Ferguson 1552 features a SynchroShuttle transmission with 8 forward and reverse gears, allowing for smooth directional changes and enhanced maneuverability in tight spaces. Its oil capacity of 40.2 quarts (38.0 liters) suggests robust lubrication and cooling, essential for prolonged heavy-duty operation. However, being available only with a platform may limit protection against environmental factors, which could be a consideration in various operating conditions.
