TRANSMISSION
The Massey-Harris 82 tractor features an unsynchronized gear transmission with 4 forward and 1 reverse gear, suitable for straightforward applications but may present challenges in smooth gear shifting under load. Its dry disc clutch system is robust, providing reliable engagement; however, it may require more frequent adjustments compared to wet clutches. This configuration is beneficial for agricultural tasks requiring consistent power but could limit operator efficiency in complex terrains due to low gear flexibility.

MECHANICAL
The Massey-Harris 82, with its 4x2 2WD chassis, is suitable for light duty applications and offers simplicity in operation, though it may struggle in uneven terrains compared to 4WD models. The open operator station enhances visibility and operator comfort but lacks protection from the elements. The 4-speed unsynchronized gear transmission provides straightforward operation but can be challenging during shifting under load, necessitating operator skill for optimal performance.

MASSEY-HARRIS 82 TIRES
The Massey-Harris 82 tractor is equipped with agricultural front tires of size 4.00x15 and rear tires of 9.00x32, which provide a good balance between traction and ground clearance. The larger rear tires enhance stability and lifting capacity, making the tractor suitable for heavier agricultural implements. However, the limited front tire size may impact front-end lift and maneuverability in challenging terrain.
