| Gears | 8 forward and 2 reverse |
| Clutch | 305mm dry disc |
TRANSMISSION 2
The Massey Ferguson 350 features a mechanical shuttle transmission, providing reliable gear shifting and control, particularly beneficial for applications requiring frequent direction changes, like loader work. With 8 forward and reverse gears, operators can achieve optimal speed and torque for diverse tasks, enhancing productivity in varying field conditions. However, the mechanical nature may offer less precision and comfort compared to modern hydrostatic systems, potentially leading to operator fatigue during prolonged use.

MASSEY FERGUSON 350 TIRES
The Massey Ferguson 350 tractor, available in both 2WD and 4WD configurations, is equipped with standard agricultural tires optimized for various terrains. The 2WD option, with a front tire size of 7.50-16, might limit traction in wet or muddy conditions compared to the more robust 4WD variant, which features larger front tires (8.3-24) for enhanced stability and grip. In agricultural scenarios requiring maneuverability and power, the 4WD setup is advantageous for effectively handling heavier loads and challenging field conditions.
