TRANSMISSION
The Massey Ferguson 492 features a partially synchronized transmission with 12 forward and 4 reverse gears, enhancing operational flexibility for various tasks. The 330mm dry disc clutch provides reliable engagement but requires precise operation to avoid wear. The synchronized shifting allows smoother transitions between gears 2-3 and the slow/fast range, making it advantageous for tasks requiring frequent speed adjustments, though it may present a learning curve for operators unfamiliar with synchronous systems.

| Gears | 12 forward and 4 reverse |
| Clutch | 330mm dry disc |
| Description | Three gears (1-3) plus reverse (R) with low/high ranges and an additional synchronized slow/fast range lever. Synchronized shifting between gears 2-3 and the slow/fast range. |
MECHANICAL
The Massey Ferguson 492 tractor's 4x2 (2WD) and optional 4x4 (MFWD) configurations provide flexibility for various terrains, making it suitable for both farming and utility tasks. The independent hydraulic wet disc brakes enhance safety and control, especially in hilly or uneven landscapes, while the 12-speed partially synchronized transmission allows for precise speed adjustments. The availability of an optional air-conditioned cab improves operator comfort during extended use in challenging weather conditions.
