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.
