TRANSMISSION
The Massey Ferguson 240S features an 8 forward and 2 reverse gear configuration, providing versatility in various agricultural operations and efficient speed management for tasks such as plowing and tilling. The gear ratio allows for a good torque output in lower gears, ideal for heavy-duty work, while higher gears enable faster travel between fields. However, the limited two reverse gears may pose a challenge when maneuvering in tight spaces or when executing reversing tasks, potentially requiring additional planning in field operations.
