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.

TRANSMISSIONS OVERVIEW

The Massey Ferguson 3455 tractor features a 20-speed or 30-speed transmission, providing versatility in various agricultural tasks with precise speed control. The 30-speed variant, in particular, allows for greater adaptability across diverse terrain and operational requirements, enhancing productivity. However, operators may need additional training to effectively manage the complex gear shifts associated with higher-speed options.

Description 20-speed/30-speed

TRANSMISSION 1

The Massey Ferguson 3455 features a synchronized shuttle transmission, offering seamless gear shifting which enhances operator comfort during direction changes. With a total of 20 forward and 10 reverse gears, it provides versatility for various agricultural tasks, allowing for precise speed control. However, the optional transmission may represent an additional cost, and it's essential to evaluate whether this feature aligns with your operational needs.

Gears 20 forward and 10 reverse
Description Optional transmission.

TRANSMISSION 2

The Massey Ferguson 3455 tractor features a synch shuttle transmission with a creeper gear option, allowing for a total of 30 forward and 15 reverse speeds, facilitating precise control over various tasks. This extensive range of gears is advantageous for operations requiring slow movement, such as sowing or tilling, while the synch shuttle enhances ease of directional shifts, improving operator efficiency. However, the complexity of the transmission may demand additional maintenance and operator training to fully leverage its capabilities.

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.
