ENGINE DETAIL

The Massey Ferguson 3340, equipped with a Perkins 1004.42 diesel engine, offers a displacement of 4.2L, delivering 79.1hp at a rated RPM of 2200, with a peak torque of 208 lb-ft at 1400 RPM, making it suitable for moderate agricultural tasks. The Stage 1 emissions compliance indicates a more relaxed regulation adherence, which may favor operation in less regulated environments but could limit usability in stricter areas. The electric 12V starter provides reliable ignition, though the torque characteristics indicate it is best suited for tasks requiring gradual power application rather than heavy-duty applications needing rapid acceleration.
