TRANSMISSIONS OVERVIEW
The Massey Ferguson 4708 features an 8-speed mechanical shuttle and a 12-speed power shuttle transmission, offering versatile gear options for different operating conditions. The power shuttle provides smoother and more efficient directional changes, ideal for tasks requiring frequent forward/reverse operations. However, the mechanical shuttle can be simpler to maintain and repair, making it a preferred choice for users prioritizing low maintenance in less demanding scenarios.

TRANSMISSION 1
The Massey Ferguson 4708 tractor features a mechanical shuttle transmission with 8 forward and reverse gears, allowing for smooth direction changes and efficient speed management, beneficial for tasks requiring frequent directional shifts. Its dry disc clutch provides reliable engagement but may require more maintenance than hydraulic counterparts under heavy usage. This tractor is ideal for moderate-duty applications such as tilling and hauling, where a balance of power and ease of operation is essential.

| Gears | 8 forward and reverse |
| Clutch | dry disc |
TRANSMISSION 2
The Massey Ferguson 4708 features a power shuttle transmission with 12 forward and reverse gears, allowing for smooth directional changes and enhanced maneuverability, crucial for tasks requiring frequent direction shifts. The wet disc clutch offers consistent performance and extended durability under heavy loads, minimizing maintenance needs. However, operators should be aware of the potential for higher costs associated with repairs if the clutch system experiences wear due to aggressive usage or insufficient fluid levels.

MECHANICAL
The Massey Ferguson 4708 features a robust 4x4 MFWD configuration, enhancing traction in varied terrain, making it advantageous for both agricultural tasks and uneven landscapes. Its electro-hydraulic rear differential lock and wet disc brakes provide improved stability and safety during operation, particularly under heavy loads or slick conditions. The optional cab with air-conditioning enhances operator comfort, making it suitable for prolonged use in hot climates, while the choice between an 8-speed mechanical shuttle and a 12-speed power shuttle allows for flexibility in power management and efficiency across different field conditions.

MASSEY FERGUSON 4708 TIRES
The Massey Ferguson 4708 tractor offers a versatile configuration with either 2WD or 4WD options, allowing users to select based on the terrain type; 4WD is advantageous for enhanced traction in muddy or uneven conditions. The tire sizes, specifically the 9.5L-15 for 2WD or 320/85R24 for 4WD in the front and the larger 420/85R30 for the rear, provide stability and can influence load-carrying capacity and field responsiveness. However, 2WD may be less effective in challenging conditions, potentially leading to slippage and decreased performance, particularly in tasks such as tilling or heavy hauling.
