TRANSMISSION

The Massey Ferguson GC1705 features a hydrostatic transmission, providing seamless speed control through infinite adjustments in both forward and reverse. This system enhances maneuverability, making it well-suited for tasks in tight spaces or delicate operations. However, while hydrostatic systems simplify operation, they can incur higher maintenance costs and reduced fuel efficiency compared to traditional gear systems in prolonged usage scenarios.

Type	hydrostatic
Gears	infinite (2-range) forward and reverse

MECHANICAL

The Massey Ferguson GC1705 features a 4x4 MFWD chassis, enhancing traction in diverse terrains, ideal for small farm or landscape maintenance tasks. Its hydrostatic power steering and transmission provide seamless operation and ease of control, making it user-friendly for operators of all skill levels. However, the two-post folding ROPS design may limit overhead protection compared to a fully enclosed cab, which is a consideration for safety in certain work environments.

MASSEY FERGUSON GC1705 TIRES

The Massey Ferguson GC1705 tractor features standard tire sizes across agricultural, lawn/turf, and industrial applications (18x8.50-10 front and 26x12.00-12 rear), which provides versatility for various tasks. This uniformity can simplify tire maintenance and replacement, but may limit the tractor's optimization for certain specialized tasks like high-traction applications or lawn preservation. Always consider the specific tire type needed based on the intended use—agricultural tasks may benefit from deeper tread patterns, while turf applications require more gentle tread to avoid lawn damage.

Ag front	18x8.50-10
Ag rear	26x12.00-12
Lawn/turf front	18x8.50-10
Lawn/turf rear	26x12.00-12
Industrial front	18x8.50-10
Industrial rear	26x12.00-12
