MASSEY FERGUSON 3355 TIRES

The Massey Ferguson 3355 series offers various configurations with 2WD and 4WD options, influencing traction and maneuverability—4WD models like the 3355S 4WD and 3355F 4WD provide enhanced stability, especially on uneven or slippery terrain. Tire sizes vary across models, with rear tires consistently at 13.6R28 or larger, which aids in load-bearing capacity; however, the smaller front tires may limit frontal stability during hydraulic lifting tasks. Consider operational scenarios, as the choice between 2WD and 4WD should align with your farming activities—2WD being more economical for flat, dry fields, while 4WD excels in wet, hilly, or challenging landscapes.
