TRANSMISSION
The Massey Ferguson 25 tractor features a versatile 8-speed forward and 2-speed reverse transmission, enhancing its adaptability for various agricultural tasks. The 279.4mm dry disc clutch offers reliable engagement, allowing for smooth operation under load; however, it may require more maintenance compared to wet clutches. Ideal for small to medium-sized farms, this tractor balances power with ease of use, though operators must manage gear shifts carefully to optimize performance and prevent wear.

MECHANICAL
The Massey Ferguson 25 features a 4x2 2WD chassis, providing adequate traction for light agricultural tasks but may struggle in muddy or uneven terrain compared to 4WD models. Its mechanical rear differential lock enhances traction in challenging conditions, while the manual steering may require more effort during extended use. The open operator station minimizes operator comfort in adverse weather, and the 8-speed transmission allows for flexibility in speed management but may limit performance in hilly areas without proper gearing adjustments.

MASSEY FERGUSON 25 TIRES
The Massey Ferguson 25 tractor features a front tire size of 5.50-16 and a rear tire size of 10-28, providing a balanced stance that enhances traction and stability during agricultural tasks. The combination allows for better weight distribution, which can improve maneuverability in tight spaces but may pose challenges in soft terrain due to limited flotation. When optimizing for row crop applications, consider the impact of tire width on soil compaction and crop health.
