MASSEY FERGUSON 3650A TIRES

The Massey Ferguson 3650A offers configurations in both 2WD and 4WD, with the 4WD variant providing enhanced traction on challenging terrains due to its larger front tire size (11.2R24) compared to the 2WD model (7.50-16). The use of agricultural tires (ag) improves soil compaction management and minimizes crop damage, making it suitable for various farming needs. However, the 4WD version may have increased maintenance costs and fuel consumption, which are important to consider based on your operational requirements.
