MASSEY FERGUSON 299 TIRES
The Massey Ferguson 299's 2WD configuration with standard ag tires provides enhanced maneuverability and lower initial costs, suitable for lighter agricultural tasks on flat terrains. In contrast, the 4WD configuration, equipped with larger front tires, improves traction and stability for more demanding terrain and heavy lifting operations, but comes with increased fuel consumption and maintenance costs. Consider the operational environment—2WD for general farming and 4WD for diverse conditions and heavier implements—to maximize efficiency and performance.
