TRANSMISSIONS OVERVIEW

The Massey Ferguson 3708F features a 12-speed mechanical shuttle or a 24-speed mechanical/power shuttle, enhancing its versatility for varied tasks in the field. The 24-speed options allow for seamless transitions between speeds, offering better torque management and efficiency for heavy-duty applications. However, the mechanical shuttle may limit rapid direction changes compared to the power shuttle, making it less ideal for applications requiring frequent reversals.
