ENGINE DETAIL

The Massey Ferguson 2800, equipped with a Perkins ATV8.640 turbocharged diesel engine, offers significant torque due to its large 10.5L displacement and 16:1 compression ratio, making it suitable for heavy-duty applications such as agricultural and industrial tasks. Its dual-stage dry air cleaner enhances engine efficiency by providing superior filtration, while the CAV rotary pump system ensures reliable fuel delivery at a rated speed of 2500 RPM, although this complexity may lead to higher maintenance needs. With an oil capacity of 24 quarts and a coolant capacity of 55 quarts, the tractor is designed for prolonged operation, but the larger capacities could result in increased operating fluid costs.

TRANSMISSIONS OVERVIEW

The Massey Ferguson 2800 features a 24-speed transmission with a 3-speed power shift and an 8-speed mechanical shuttle, providing exceptional versatility for various field applications. This setup allows for efficient speed adjustment for both forward and reverse operations, which enhances productivity in tasks requiring frequent directional changes, such as loader operations. However, operators may face a steeper learning curve due to the complexity of the transmission system, making familiarity crucial for optimal use.

TRANSMISSION 1

The Massey Ferguson 2800 features a Multi-Power transmission with a 3-speed power shift, providing operators with enhanced flexibility and improved control over 24 forward and 6 reverse gears, making it ideal for varying field conditions. Its oil capacity of 152 quarts (143.9L) supports extended operation times but requires diligent maintenance to ensure optimal performance. This transmission setup allows for seamless power transitions, which is advantageous in tasks requiring rapid speed adjustment or load management, though it may present a learning curve for inexperienced operators.

Type 3-speed power shift
Gears 24 forward and 6 reverse
Oil capacity 152qts / 143.9L
Description Eight forward gears with three power shift speeds in each gear.

TRANSMISSION 2

The Massey Ferguson 2800 tractor features a mechanical shuttle transmission, allowing seamless direction changes without clutch engagement, enhancing operational efficiency in varied tasks. With 8 forward and 6 reverse gears, it provides versatility in speed adjustments for different agricultural applications, though the counting of gears may limit precise speed control compared to hydrostatic systems. This configuration is ideal for medium-duty tasks like tilling or hauling, where reliable torque and maneuverability are pivotal.

Gears 8 forward and 6 reverse

MECHANICAL

The Massey Ferguson 2800's 4x2 2WD configuration provides good maneuverability for smaller agricultural tasks, but may struggle in more challenging terrains. The hydraulic rear differential lock enhances traction in slippery conditions, making it suitable for light field work. The 24-speed transmission with power shift and shuttle allows for precise speed management, which is advantageous for operators requiring versatility when plowing, tilling, or transporting materials.
