TRANSMISSIONS OVERVIEW
The Massey Ferguson 435 Xtra features an 8-speed sliding spur gear transmission, offering robust durability suitable for heavy-duty tasks, along with an advanced 12-speed synchromesh option for smoother gear shifts and enhanced operator comfort. The sliding spur gear design can withstand greater torque loads, making it ideal for demanding agricultural applications, while the synchromesh provides better performance in varied terrain. Ultimately, the choice between the two systems depends on the operational needs—heavy-duty power versus versatility and ease of shifting.
