MASSEY FERGUSON 5455 ENGINE

The Massey Ferguson 5455 tractor is powered by a Perkins 4.4L 4-cylinder diesel engine, known for its efficiency and reliability, making it suitable for a variety of agricultural tasks. The base fuel tank capacity of 40 gallons (151.4 liters) can be expanded to 53.2 gallons (201.4 liters) with an optional tank, providing greater operational autonomy for extended fieldwork. Considerations include potential weight distribution changes with the larger tank, which may impact handling, especially in uneven terrain.

TRANSMISSION 1

The Massey Ferguson 5455 features a Speedshift mechanical powershift transmission with 16 forward and reverse gears, allowing for enhanced versatility in various field scenarios. This transmission type offers smoother gear changes and improved efficiency during operations, particularly beneficial for tasks requiring precise speed control, such as plowing or hauling. However, the complexity of the powershift system may present maintenance challenges compared to simpler transmission systems, necessitating regular checks to ensure optimal performance.

Gears 16 forward and reverse

TRANSMISSION 2

The Massey Ferguson 5455 features the Dyna-4 transmission, offering 16 forward and reverse gears. This provides precise speed control and efficient power management, making it suitable for various agricultural tasks, particularly in field operations where variable speed is essential. However, operators should be familiar with the transmission dynamics to minimize potential challenges in gear shifting under load conditions.

MECHANICAL

The Massey Ferguson 5455 offers a versatile chassis with optional 4WD for enhanced traction in diverse terrains, making it suitable for both field and on-road applications. Its hydrostatic power steering provides excellent maneuverability, beneficial for tight spaces or intricate work like planting. The independent hydraulic wet disc brakes offer superior stopping power and durability, ideal for heavy-duty operations, though the 16-speed transmission may require operator familiarity for optimal performance.
