MECHANICAL
The Massey Ferguson 2705 features a 4x2 2WD chassis, making it less suitable for challenging terrains compared to 4WD models, limiting its traction in wet or hilly conditions. Its hydrostatic power steering enhances maneuverability, while the differential hydraulic wet disc brakes offer reliable stopping power, ideal for heavy-duty applications. The 24-speed transmission with power shift provides versatile speed control, making it suitable for various farming tasks, but the complexity of the gearing may present a learning curve for operators unfamiliar with multi-speed systems.
