MASSEY FERGUSON 374S TIRES

The Massey Ferguson 374S features two drivetrain options: 2WD for cost and maintenance benefits, and 4WD for enhanced traction and stability, especially in challenging terrain. The standard tire sizes, with front options being 7.5L-15 or 7.5-18, and a consistent rear size of 14.9-24, cater to various field conditions, facilitating improved soil compaction and operational efficiency. Choosing between 2WD and 4WD can significantly impact performance under specific agricultural tasks; for instance, 4WD excels in wet or uneven fields, while 2WD may be more economical for flatter, drier areas.
