TRANSMISSIONS OVERVIEW

The Massey Ferguson 1742 features a 12-speed power shuttle hydrostatic transmission, allowing for smooth directional changes and enhanced control during operation. This system is beneficial for tasks requiring frequent forward and reverse movements, such as loader work or maneuvering in tight spaces. However, hydrostatic systems may lead to higher maintenance requirements and can be less fuel-efficient compared to conventional gear transmissions in prolonged heavy-duty applications.

Description 12-speed power shuttle hydrostatic

TRANSMISSION 1

The Massey Ferguson 1742 features a power shuttle transmission with 12 forward and reverse gears, enabling smooth directional changes and enhanced control during implement operations. Its wet disc clutch system minimizes wear and increases longevity while providing reliable performance under load. The four synchronized gears across three ranges optimize power delivery for various field tasks, making it suitable for both light and heavy-duty applications.

Gears 12 forward and reverse
Clutch wet disc
Description Four synchronized gears in three ranges.

TRANSMISSION 2

The Massey Ferguson 1742 features a hydrostatic transmission, providing seamless speed adjustments without the need for gear shifting, enhancing operator comfort and ease of use in varying terrains. Its infinite (3-range) forward and reverse gears facilitate precise control during tasks like plowing or towing, making it suitable for both agricultural and landscaping applications. However, it may have limited haulage capacity compared to models with traditional gear systems, potentially affecting performance in heavy-duty scenarios.
