ENGINE DETAIL
The Massey Ferguson 3455 is powered by a Perkins 1104C-44T turbocharged diesel engine, providing a robust 98 horsepower at 2200 RPM and exhibiting a torque of 71.93 lb-ft, ideal for moderate agricultural tasks. Its dual dry element air cleaner enhances engine longevity, while the Tier II emissions classification indicates it adheres to less stringent environmental regulations, potentially limiting its eligibility for some modern emissions-restricted areas. Key considerations include its electric starter for reliable starting, but the performance may be limited in high-load scenarios due to the modest torque output.

MASSEY FERGUSON 3455 TIRES
The Massey Ferguson 3455 features agricultural tires with a front configuration of 280/70R16 (standard) and 240/70R16 (grower edition), and a rear configuration of 380/70R24 (standard) and 380/70R20 (grower edition), offering versatility for various field conditions. The broader rear tires enhance traction and stability, beneficial for heavy pulling tasks, while the front tire options allow for tailored performance based on load and terrain. A potential challenge could be cost/availability of specialized grower edition tires, which may not be widely supported in all regions.
