ENGINE DETAIL
The Massey-Harris 744 tractor is powered by a Perkins P6 diesel engine, featuring a robust 6-cylinder design with a displacement of 4.7L, delivering 46hp. Its bore and stroke dimensions (3.50x5.00 inches) indicate a balance between torque output and engine longevity, making it suitable for moderate agricultural tasks. However, its limited horsepower may challenge performance in heavy-duty applications, suggesting ideal usage for smaller farms or specific tasks like hay baling or light tillage.

TRANSMISSION
The Massey-Harris 744 tractor features a simple 5-speed forward and 1-speed reverse gear system, providing versatility for various agricultural tasks. This straightforward transmission design can enhance ease of operation, but may limit speed and torque options compared to more modern tractors with a wider range of gear ratios. Ideal for light to medium-duty applications, the 744 is well-suited for small farms or specialized tasks where speed variability is less critical.

| Gears | 5 forward and 1 reverse |
MECHANICAL
The Massey-Harris 744 features a 4x2 2WD chassis, providing stable handling on flat terrains but may struggle in muddy or hilly conditions. Its open operator station enhances visibility and airflow but offers minimal protection from the elements, which can be a challenge in adverse weather. The 5-speed gear transmission allows for versatile speed adjustments, making it suitable for varied agricultural tasks, though it lacks the advanced transmission options available in modern tractors.
