| Gears | 21 forward and 18 reverse |
| Oil capacity | 13.2qts / 12.5L |
TRANSMISSION 2
The Massey Ferguson 7485 is equipped with the Dyna-VT transmission, providing infinite gear selection within its two-range forward and reverse system, enhancing operator flexibility and optimizing power delivery across various field conditions. A 13.2-quart (12.5L) oil capacity may require regular attention to maintain optimal performance, particularly in high-demand applications. This design is advantageous for tasks requiring precise speed control, but operators should be mindful of potential challenges in oil maintenance and monitoring during extended use.
