TRANSMISSIONS OVERVIEW
The Massey Ferguson 8460 features a 42-speed power shift continuously variable transmission (CVT), allowing for seamless gear transitions which enhance operational efficiency and maintain optimal engine performance. This transmission system provides excellent torque management and allows for precise speed adjustments, beneficial for diverse applications like tilling or transport. However, the complexity of CVT may involve higher maintenance requirements compared to traditional gear systems.

TRANSMISSION 1
The Massey Ferguson 8460 features the Dyna-Step transmission, which combines the mechanical advantages of a CVT with the familiarity of a power shift system, allowing for efficient shifting through 42 forward and 36 reverse gears. This setup provides enhanced versatility in varying field conditions, but operators may need to adapt to the gear shifting rhythm, particularly in demanding applications. The transmission's configuration is ideal for operations requiring precise speed control, such as tillage or transport tasks.
| Transmission | DynaStep |
| Type | power shift |
| Gears | 42 forward and 36 reverse |
| Description | The Dyna-Step transmission is mechanically the same as the CVT, but the operator shifts through set gears as with a power shift. There are 21 forward gear shifts in two ranges. |
TRANSMISSION 2
The Massey Ferguson 8460’s Dyna-VT continuously variable transmission (CVT) offers seamless gear transitions, maximizing efficiency during operation. This feature is particularly advantageous for tasks requiring precise speed adjustments, such as tilling or hauling. However, the complexity of CVTs may pose challenges in maintenance and repair costs compared to traditional transmissions.

| Type | continuously variable transmission |
| Gears | infinite forward and reverse |
MECHANICAL
The Massey Ferguson 8460 features a robust 4x4 MFWD drivetrain, enhancing traction and stability, particularly in challenging field conditions. Its 42-speed power shift continuously variable transmission allows for seamless power delivery and efficient operation, making it ideal for both heavy-duty tasks and precision work. However, the complexity of inboard planetary final drives may require more maintenance, but they provide enhanced durability and better load distribution for demanding applications.

MASSEY FERGUSON 8460 TIRES
The Massey Ferguson 8460 tractor is equipped with dimensions suited for both tillage and heavy-duty fieldwork, where the Ag front tires (16.9R30) provide a wide footprint for stability, while the larger Ag rear tires (18.4R46) enhance traction and weight distribution for optimal performance. This combination improves soil compaction management and enhances the tractor's ability to handle large implements. However, be mindful of the tractor's maneuverability in tight spaces due to its larger rear tires, which may limit operational efficiency in smaller fields or orchards.
