ENGINE DETAIL

The Massey Ferguson 1260 tractor, powered by the Iseki E3CD diesel engine, delivers a gross power of 40 hp at 2600 RPM, ideal for moderate agricultural tasks. Its indirect injection system and glow plug pre-heating enhance cold-start performance, while the 21.8:1 compression ratio optimizes fuel efficiency and torque output, peaking at 87 lb-ft at 1600 RPM. However, the dry air cleaner requires regular maintenance to prevent engine performance degradation, particularly in dusty environments.

TRANSMISSION

The Massey Ferguson 1260 tractor features a synchro shuttle transmission with 16 forward and reverse gears, enabling seamless transitions between speeds and directions, ideal for varied field operations. Its 240mm dry disc clutch offers a balanced engagement for effective power transfer, though it may require more frequent maintenance compared to hydraulic clutches. This setup enhances versatility in tasks like tilling or cultivating, but operators should be aware of potential wear in high-load scenarios.

Description Four gears in four ranges with shuttle.

SPEEDS

Description With 13.6-24 rear tires. Reverse speeds are 5% slower than forward.

MECHANICAL

The Massey Ferguson 1260 features a robust 4x4 MFWD system that enhances traction on varied terrains, making it ideal for agricultural tasks in challenging conditions. Its power-assisted steering allows for easier maneuverability, while the wet disc braking system provides reliable stopping power, reducing maintenance compared to traditional brake systems. The 16-speed synchro shuttle transmission offers versatile speed management for different applications, although operators may need time to adjust to the gear shifting system for optimal performance.
