MASSEY FERGUSON 430 POWER
ENGINE DETAIL
The Massey Ferguson 430 tractor is powered by a Perkins 1103C 33T turbocharged diesel engine, delivering 74 hp at 2200 RPM and a peak torque of 214.6 lb-ft at 1400 RPM, making it suitable for a variety of agricultural tasks. Its 3-cylinder configuration and dual dry air cleaner enhance fuel efficiency and reduce maintenance frequency, though it may experience limited power under heavy load scenarios compared to larger competitors. The combination of its compact size and robust torque characteristics makes it particularly advantageous for working in confined spaces, but operators should be aware of potential challenges in providing adequate torque for heavy tilling or plowing tasks.

MASSEY FERGUSON 430 TIRES
The Massey Ferguson 430 tractor features a robust tire configuration, with standard agricultural tires of 6.00-16 at the front and 13.6-28 at the rear for 2WD, while the 4WD variant utilizes larger front tires of 280/70R20, enhancing traction and stability. The choice between 2WD and 4WD significantly impacts maneuverability; 4WD excels in challenging terrain, fostering better grip and power distribution, ideal for hilly or muddy fields. However, 2WD may offer advantages in terms of fuel efficiency and initial cost, suitable for less demanding agricultural tasks.
