TRANSMISSIONS OVERVIEW

The Massey Ferguson 4220 features an 8-speed mechanical shuttle and a 12-speed synchromesh transmission, providing versatile gear options for various agricultural tasks. The mechanical shuttle allows for quick direction changes, enhancing operational efficiency during forward-reverse cycles, while the synchromesh transmission ensures smoother gear transitions under load. However, the complexity of the 12-speed system may require more maintenance and operator training, but it significantly improves productivity in diverse field scenarios.
