MASSEY FERGUSON 4215 TIRES
The Massey Ferguson 4215 2WD configuration offers agile maneuverability on flat terrain with standard agricultural tires; however, it may struggle on slippery surfaces due to limited traction. The 4WD variant improves traction significantly, making it suitable for diverse conditions, including muddy or hilly terrains, but may incur higher operational costs. In summary, choose 2WD for cost-effectiveness in stable environments and 4WD for enhanced performance in challenging conditions.
