ENGINE DETAIL

The Massey Ferguson 1150 tractor, powered by a Perkins AV8.510 diesel engine, delivers significant torque (539 lb-ft at 1450 RPM) ideal for heavy-duty applications like plowing or hauling. Its 8.3L displacement and 17.5:1 compression ratio enhance fuel efficiency and power delivery, making it suitable for challenging agricultural tasks. However, maintenance of dual dry element air filters and managing coolant and oil capacities (48 qts and 20 qts respectively) are crucial for optimal performance and longevity.
