MASSEY FERGUSON 1635 ENGINE

The Massey Ferguson 1635, equipped with a compact Iseki 1.6L 3-cylinder diesel engine, offers efficient fuel consumption, suitable for small to medium agricultural tasks. Its dual fuel tank capacity—9.2 gallons for ROPS and 10.5 gallons for cab—ensures extended operational hours without frequent refueling, enhancing productivity. However, users should consider the stabilization of load distribution due to the tractor's weight, which may affect maneuverability on uneven terrain.

TRANSMISSIONS OVERVIEW

The Massey Ferguson 1635 features a 12-speed hydrostatic transmission, offering precise control and smooth operation, ideal for various tasks such as mowing and loader work. This hydrostatic system allows for seamless speed adjustments without the need to engage a clutch, enhancing productivity in diverse terrains. However, it's essential to consider potential maintenance costs and the learning curve for operators unfamiliar with hydrostatic systems.

TRANSMISSION 1

The Massey Ferguson 1635 features a PowerShuttle transmission, providing seamless forward and reverse shifting, enhancing operational efficiency. With 12 gears, it offers versatility for varying field conditions, allowing for optimal speed and torque adjustments. The oil capacity of 32.8 quarts ensures adequate lubrication and heat management, essential for prolonged performance in demanding agricultural tasks.

Gears 12 forward and reverse
Oil capacity 32.8qts / 31.0L

TRANSMISSION 2

The Massey Ferguson 1635 features a hydrostatic transmission that provides seamless speed adjustment, enhancing maneuverability especially in tight spaces. With its infinite (3-range) forward and reverse gears, operators can efficiently manage different speed requirements while reducing the risk of stalling during operation. Ideal for farming tasks that demand precision and quick directional changes, this tractor excels in various applications, but may face limitations in high-speed transport scenarios due to its gear design.

MECHANICAL

The Massey Ferguson 1635 offers a robust 4WD MFWD chassis, enhancing traction and stability across varied terrains, which is ideal for agricultural tasks or rough landscapes. Its mechanical rear differential lock improves power distribution during challenging conditions, while the 12-speed hydrostatic transmission provides smooth, responsive control for precision in both field and transport operations. However, users may find the flat operator platform less ergonomic over prolonged use compared to fully enclosed cabs, although the optional cab with heating and air conditioning mitigates this issue, enhancing operator comfort significantly in varying climates.
