TRANSMISSIONS OVERVIEW
The Massey Ferguson 354S tractor features a 12-speed synchro transmission, which enhances gear shifting precision for road applications, and a 12-speed shuttle that facilitates quick direction changes, ideal for loader work. Its 24-speed creeper option allows for ultra-low-speed operations, beneficial in tasks requiring fine control, such as cultivating or plowing in tight spaces. While the multi-speed options offer versatility, they may introduce complexity in operation, potentially requiring additional training for optimal use.
