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.

MASSEY FERGUSON 2435 TIRES
The Massey Ferguson 2435 tractor is equipped with standard agricultural tires, specifically 12.4R20 at the front and 14.9R30 at the rear, which provide adequate traction and stability in various field conditions. The larger rear tire size enhances floatation and minimizes soil compaction, making it advantageous for heavy-duty tasks. However, the limited tire width may pose challenges on uneven terrain, potentially leading to reduced maneuverability in tight spaces.
