MASSEY FERGUSON 1749 ENGINE

The Massey Ferguson 1749 tractor is powered by a Mitsubishi 1.7L 3-cylinder diesel engine, which offers efficient fuel consumption and adequate torque for light to medium agricultural tasks. With a 14.5-gallon fuel tank, it allows for extended operation between refuels, making it suitable for larger fields or extended projects. However, the relatively small engine capacity may limit its performance for heavier applications, so it’s best suited for tasks such as livestock management or smaller crop fields.

TRANSMISSIONS OVERVIEW

The Massey Ferguson 1749 features a 12-speed power shuttle hydrostatic transmission, allowing smooth directional changes while maintaining engine RPMs, enhancing operational efficiency. This is particularly advantageous in applications requiring frequent forward and reverse movements, such as on-site material handling or loader operations. However, users should be aware of potential mechanical complexity and maintenance costs associated with high-tech hydrostatic systems.

Description 12-speed power shuttle hydrostatic

TRANSMISSION 1

The Massey Ferguson 1749 tractor features a power shuttle transmission with 12 forward and reverse gears, providing smooth directional changes and optimized control during field operations. The wet disc clutch enhances durability and reduces slippage, making it suitable for heavy-duty tasks. However, while the synchronized gears in three ranges facilitate efficient speed management, operators may need to adapt to the complexity of gear selection when shifting between tasks.

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

TRANSMISSION 2

The Massey Ferguson 1749 features a hydrostatic transmission, enabling smooth speed control and effortless direction changes, ideal for precision tasks like tilling and landscaping. Its infinite (3-range) gear system enhances operational flexibility across various terrains, but may require careful modulation to avoid engine strain in steep conditions. This setup is particularly advantageous for operators prioritizing ease of use and maneuverability in small to medium-sized agricultural applications.

MECHANICAL

The Massey Ferguson 1749 features a 4x4 MFWD configuration that enhances traction in diverse terrains, making it suitable for both agricultural and landscaping tasks. Its 12-speed power shuttle hydrostatic transmission provides excellent control over speed and direction, beneficial for tasks requiring precision, such as loader work. The optional air-conditioned cab improves operator comfort, though the two-post folding ROPS may limit protection in roll-over situations compared to fully enclosed cabs.
