MASSEY FERGUSON 2235 ENGINE
The Massey Ferguson 2235, equipped with a Perkins 4.2L 4-cylinder diesel engine, offers a robust power-to-weight ratio, enhancing both efficiency and performance in agricultural operations. Its fuel tank capacity of 17.7 gallons (or an optional total of 26.4 gallons with an auxiliary tank) allows for extended operating time, reducing the frequency of refueling during demanding tasks. However, managing the weight distribution and fuel consumption is crucial for optimizing stability and maneuverability, especially in uneven terrain.

TRANSMISSIONS OVERVIEW
The Massey Ferguson 2235 tractor features a 15-speed synchronized shuttle, allowing for seamless forward and reverse gear shifts, essential for loader work and precise maneuverability. Its 30-speed two-speed power shift enhances operational flexibility, enabling effective handling of varying field conditions and tasks through optimized torque and speed management. A potential challenge is the learning curve associated with the extensive gear range, which may require additional training for operators to maximize efficiency.

TRANSMISSION 1
The Massey Ferguson 2235 features a sync shuttle transmission, enhancing ease of operation with 15 forward/reverse gears, suitable for various agricultural tasks. Its 30 KPH option is efficient for two-wheel drive applications, while the 40 KPH in four-wheel drive offers better traction on challenging terrain; the option of a creeper gear is advantageous for precise, low-speed operations. A challenge may arise with the 304.8mm cerametallic dry disc clutch in terms of maintenance, but it provides excellent torque transfer for demanding applications.
