MASSEY FERGUSON 2640 TIRES
The Massey Ferguson 2640 tractor's 2WD configuration with standard agricultural tires (10.00-16 front and 18.4-38 rear) offers better maneuverability on flat terrain but may struggle with traction on slippery surfaces, making it suitable for farms with stable ground conditions. Conversely, the 4WD variant with larger tires (14.9-28 front and 18.4-38 rear) enhances power transfer and stability, ideal for hilly or muddy environments, though it may incur higher operational costs due to increased tire wear. Properly assessing soil type and terrain requirements is crucial when choosing between these configurations to maximize efficiency and minimize slip.
