MASSEY FERGUSON 184 ENGINE
The Massey Ferguson 184, equipped with a Perkins 3.9L 4-cylinder diesel engine, offers robust performance with its efficient power-to-weight ratio, ideal for various agricultural tasks. Its 16.4-gallon (62.1L) fuel tank enhances operational longevity, allowing for extended work periods without frequent refueling, which is advantageous in large fields or during intensive jobs. However, the engine's power band may require careful management for optimal torque delivery during demanding applications, and it’s advisable to consider the tractor’s load capacity to prevent strain on the system.

MASSEY FERGUSON 184 TIRES
The Massey Ferguson 184 tractor offers versatility with tire options for 2WD (7.50-16 front and 12.4-30 rear) and 4WD (11.2-24 front and 16.9-30 rear), optimizing traction and stability across varying terrains. The larger 4WD tires provide enhanced grip, making it suitable for wet or challenging ground conditions, while the 2WD version is cost-effective and ideal for flat landscapes. However, users should consider potential drawbacks of 2WD, such as reduced performance in slippery conditions compared to the 4WD configuration.
