TRANSMISSION
The Massey Ferguson 383 features an 8 forward and 2 reverse gear configuration, allowing for versatile handling and adaptability in various field operations. The range of gears provides optimal speed control for tasks such as plowing, tilling, and transport, though it may lack the advanced transmission options offered by newer models, which can improve efficiency and operator comfort. Ideal for medium-duty agricultural work, the tractor's gearbox facilitates precise maneuverability, especially in confined spaces.

MECHANICAL
The Massey Ferguson 383 offers a 4x2 2WD chassis, making it suitable for light to moderate agricultural tasks but less effective in challenging terrains compared to 4WD models. Its power steering enhances maneuverability, while the wet disc brakes provide reliable stopping power and durability under heavy load conditions. The optional canopy on its two-post ROPS design provides enhanced operator safety without compromising visibility, making it ideal for farm operations in open fields.
