TRANSMISSION
The Massey Ferguson 460 tractor features a synchromesh transmission, providing smoother gear shifts and improved efficiency during operation. With 12 forward and 4 reverse gears, it offers versatility for various applications, allowing for precise speed control and maneuverability, particularly in tight spaces or demanding terrains. However, the complexity of the synchromesh system could present maintenance challenges compared to simpler transmission types, so regular checks are advisable.

| Gears | 12 forward and 4 reverse |
MECHANICAL
The Massey Ferguson 460 features a versatile 4x2 or optional 4WD configuration, facilitating enhanced traction in diverse agricultural conditions. Its hydrostatic power steering offers improved maneuverability and operator comfort, while the wet disc brakes provide reliable stopping power and reduced maintenance. The 12-speed synchromesh transmission ensures smooth gear transitions, beneficial for varying speed requirements during field operations, although the open operator station may expose the operator to environmental elements compared to a fully enclosed cab.

MASSEY FERGUSON 460 TIRES
The Massey Ferguson 460 features standard agricultural tires with varying sizes for 2WD and 4WD configurations, influencing traction and load distribution. The 9.00-16 front tires (2WD) provide agility, while the larger rear tires (18.4-34) enhance stability and power transfer in field operations. In 4WD, the 14.9-24 front tires optimize maneuverability and traction, making the tractor suitable for diverse terrains but may challenge tight turning radii in certain scenarios.
| Standard tires (ag) | Front: 9.00-16. Rear: 18.4-34 (2WD)/Front: 14.9-24. Rear: 18.4-34 (4WD) |

DIMENSIONS & TIRES
The Massey Ferguson 460 tractor's 2WD configuration offers a compact 93.3-inch wheelbase, enhancing maneuverability in tight spaces, while the optional 4WD setup increases traction with a slightly longer wheelbase of 96.9 inches. Weighing between 7882 to 8686 pounds, the tractor delivers stability but may limit its use on softer terrains without additional ground pressure management strategies. Its rear tire dimensions (18.4-34) provide decent flotation and power transfer, making it suitable for agricultural tasks but potentially unwieldy in heavy wet conditions when 2WD is in use.
