DYNA-6 TRANSMISSION

The Massey Ferguson 6S 165 tractor features a comprehensive 24x24 transmission system, offering a versatile range of gears for efficient speed management. With a minimum speed of 0.7 mph at 1400 rpm, it excels in precision tasks, while achieving Eco/Super Eco speeds of 25 mph and 31 mph at optimal engine speeds of 1500 and 1800 rpm, respectively, making it suitable for both fieldwork and transport applications. The challenge may arise in selecting the appropriate gear for varying load conditions to maximize fuel efficiency and performance.

Number of gears 24 x 24 Fwd x Rev
Min. speed @ 1400 rpm 0.7 mph
25 mph Eco/Super Eco at engine speed with max. tire dimension 1500 (with 650/65 R38) rpm
31 mph* Eco at engine speed with max. tire dimension 1800 (with 650/65 R38) rpm

DYNA-VT TRANSMISSION

The Massey Ferguson 6S 165 features a stepless, continuously variable transmission (CVT), providing seamless speed adjustments for enhanced control and efficiency, particularly in variable field conditions. Its field speed range of 0.02-17 mph caters to precision tasks, while the road speed of up to 31 mph allows for efficient transport between locations. However, the complexity of CVTs may increase maintenance requirements and repair costs compared to traditional gear transmissions.

Type Stepless, continuously variable transmission
Field speed range Forward: 0.02-17 mph - reverse: 0.02-10 mph
Road speed range Forward: 0.02-25 mph - reverse: 0.02-23 mph/Forward: 0.02-31 mph* - reverse: 0.02-23 mph
