TRANSMISSIONS OVERVIEW
The Massey Ferguson 440 tractor features an 8-speed sliding spur gear transmission and a 12-speed synchromesh option, allowing for smoother gear shifts and better control over speed and torque. The 12-speed synchromesh is advantageous for precision tasks, making it ideal for agricultural applications requiring varied speeds. However, the sliding spur gear may pose challenges in terms of ease of shifting under load, potentially impacting operator efficiency during heavy-duty operations.

TRANSMISSION 1
The Massey Ferguson 440 features a sliding spur gear transmission with 8 forward and 2 reverse gears, providing versatile speed options for various applications. The sliding spur gear design ensures smooth engagement at the cost of potentially increased wear compared to constant mesh systems. In scenarios requiring frequent direction changes, the two reverse gears enhance maneuverability, making it suitable for tasks such as loading and transport in tight spaces.

| Gears | 8 forward and 2 reverse |
TRANSMISSION 2
The Massey Ferguson 440 features a synchromesh transmission, providing smoother gear shifts which enhance operator comfort and reduce wear on components. With 12 forward and 4 reverse gears, it offers versatility for various applications, allowing for precise speed control when navigating different terrains. However, the complexity of the synchromesh system may require more maintenance compared to traditional gearboxes, particularly in high-frequency usage scenarios.

| Gears | 12 forward and 4 reverse |
MECHANICAL
The Massey Ferguson 440's optional 4WD enhances traction and maneuverability on uneven terrain, making it suitable for diverse farming applications. Its hydrostatic power steering improves operator control, especially in tight spaces. The 12-speed synchromesh transmission provides smoother shifts, although the open operator station may expose the driver to weather elements.

MASSEY FERGUSON 440 TIRES
The Massey Ferguson 440 tractor features two tire configurations: a 2WD setup with 7.50-16 front tires paired with 18.4-30 rear tires and a 4WD option utilizing 12.4-24 front tires with 18.4-30 rear tires. The larger 4WD front tires provide enhanced traction and stability, making it suitable for varied terrains and heavier workloads. However, the 2WD option may hinder performance on soft ground, so selecting the appropriate configuration is crucial based on intended use cases and soil conditions.
