TRANSMISSIONS OVERVIEW

The Massey Ferguson 2435 features a versatile 15-speed power shuttle transmission, providing smooth directional changes, and enhancing maneuverability in various field conditions. Its optional 30-speed two-speed power shift allows operators to optimize performance across different tasks, increasing efficiency in both transport and fieldwork scenarios. However, the complexity of the transmission may pose a learning curve for new operators, requiring familiarity for optimal use.

TRANSMISSION 1

The Massey Ferguson 2435 features a 15-speed transmission with five gears across three ranges, allowing for enhanced versatility in various agricultural tasks and improved precision in speed control. The dry disc clutch offers reliable engagement, but may require more maintenance compared to hydraulic alternatives. This setup is advantageous for operators needing to frequently switch between forward and reverse, such as in loader applications or tight field turns, although it may present a learning curve for new users due to mechanical shuttle operation.

TRANSMISSION 2

The Massey Ferguson 2435 features a power shuttle transmission that allows for seamless shifting between forward and reverse without the need to clutch, enhancing operator efficiency during loader work or tight maneuvers. Its 15 forward and reverse gears provide versatility for various tasks, from fieldwork to transport applications, while the wet disc clutch offers improved durability and smooth engagement, reducing wear compared to dry clutches. However, maintenance of the wet clutch system can be more complex, requiring regular inspection to ensure optimal performance over time.
