TRANSMISSIONS OVERVIEW

The Massey Ferguson 1655 tractor is equipped with either an 8-speed or 12-speed transmission, allowing for versatile speed options to optimize performance in varying agricultural tasks. The 12-speed offers finer control over power application, which is advantageous for tasks requiring precision, such as plowing or planting. However, the 8-speed may suffice for general use on larger fields where speed adjustments are less critical, presenting a potential cost-saving option for budget-conscious buyers.

TRANSMISSION 1

The Massey Ferguson 1655 features a SynchroShuttle transmission, allowing for smooth shifting between its 8 forward and reverse gears, which enhances operational efficiency during tasks like field work or loading. The 40.2-quart oil capacity supports better lubrication and cooling, essential for prolonged performance under heavy loads. However, reliance on a clutch for shifting may require operator skill during transition, impacting ease of use for less experienced drivers.

Transmission	SynchroShuttle
Gears	8 forward and reverse
Oil capacity	40.2qts / 38.0L
Description	Synchronized forward-reverse shuttle shift using clutch. Available only on platform models.

TRANSMISSION 2

The Massey Ferguson 1655 tractor features a PowerShuttle transmission with 12 forward and reverse gears, providing enhanced maneuverability and ease of operation in varied terrains. The availability of this transmission system solely on platform models can be advantageous for operators requiring quick direction changes in tight spaces. However, potential challenges include the need for careful operation when shifting to avoid gear wear, especially in heavy-duty applications.
