TRANSMISSIONS OVERVIEW

The Massey Ferguson 471 features an 8-speed partially synchronized gear transmission, offering smooth shifting and versatility for various field tasks. The partially synchronized design allows for easier gear transitions, reducing the risk of transmission wear during operation. However, operators may still encounter challenges with synchronization at higher RPMs, particularly when downshifting under load.

TRANSMISSION 1

The Massey Ferguson 471 features an 8-forward and 2-reverse gear system, providing versatility for various field operations and terrain types. The 305mm dry disc clutch offers reliable engagement but may require more maintenance under heavy load conditions. With an oil capacity of 44.4 quarts (42.0L), regular servicing is essential to maintain optimal performance and prevent overheating during extended use.

Description Four gears, plus reverse, in two ranges.

TRANSMISSION 2

The Massey Ferguson 471 features a partially synchronized transmission with 8 forward and reverse gears, allowing for efficient speed and direction changes during operation. The 305mm dry disc clutch provides robust engagement, but may require more maintenance under heavy agricultural use. Its left-hand shuttle design enhances operator comfort and responsiveness, making it suitable for various farming tasks, including loader and towing applications.

MECHANICAL

The Massey Ferguson 471 offers versatility with its 4x2 or 4x4 configurations, catering to various terrain needs, though the 4WD variant enhances traction for challenging conditions. The power steering and wet disc brakes ensure precise handling and reliable stopping performance, making it suitable for extended use in agricultural applications. However, the 8-speed transmission, while beneficial for varied speeds, may limit rapid gear changes compared to fully synchronized systems seen in more advanced models.

MASSEY FERGUSON 471 TIRES

The Massey Ferguson 471 tractor offers a versatile 2WD and 4WD configuration, with 2WD featuring narrow ag tires for improved maneuverability on soft soil, while the 4WD option enhances traction and stability on uneven terrains through wider ag tires. The rear tire sizes (16.9-30 in 2WD and 18.4-30 in 4WD) provide significant ground contact, optimizing power transfer and reducing soil compaction, crucial for sustained agricultural operations. Depending on the operational requirements, the choice between 2WD and 4WD may present cost and fuel efficiency trade-offs; 4WD is preferable for heavy-duty tasks in challenging conditions but may increase maintenance complexity.
