TRANSMISSIONS OVERVIEW
The Massey Ferguson 7718 features a 24-speed power shift coupled with a continuously-variable transmission (CVT), offering seamless power delivery and enhanced operational flexibility. This setup allows for optimal engine performance and fuel efficiency under varying load conditions, particularly beneficial in field applications or for transporting heavy loads. However, maintenance of the CVT system may pose additional complexity compared to traditional transmission options, tracking wear rates is crucial for longevity and efficiency.
| Description | 24-speed six-speed power shift/continuously-variable transmission (CVT) |
TRANSMISSION 1
The Massey Ferguson 7718 features a Dyna-6 transmission, providing efficient six-speed power shifting with a total of 24 forward and reverse gears, enhancing operational versatility. This allows operators to optimize performance across various field conditions and tasks, improving productivity while reducing fuel consumption. However, the complexity may increase maintenance requirements, necessitating familiarity with power shift system nuances for effective troubleshooting.
