MASSEY FERGUSON 373 ENGINE
The Massey Ferguson 373 is powered by a Perkins 3.9L 4-cylinder diesel engine, which offers reliability and efficiency, ideal for medium-duty agricultural tasks. With a fuel tank capacity of 21.1 gallons (79.9 liters), operators can expect extended operating hours without frequent refueling, making it suitable for larger fields or extended projects. However, the tractor's weight and power-to-weight ratio may limit its maneuverability in tighter spaces, a consideration for small-scale farming or garden work.

TRANSMISSION
The Massey Ferguson 373 features a 12-forward and 4-reverse gear transmission, providing versatility for various agricultural applications and terrain types. This gear ratio allows for efficient speed management, optimizing performance in both forward and reverse operations, which is particularly beneficial in tight spaces or when maneuvering implements. However, the complexity of shifting through multiple gears may require a learning curve for operators unfamiliar with multi-speed systems, potentially affecting productivity during initial use.
