ENGINE DETAIL

The Massey Ferguson 365 features a robust Perkins A4.236 diesel engine, providing 61 hp and 179 lb-ft of torque at a low 1400 RPM, which is advantageous for tasks requiring high low-end torque such as plowing or towing. With a direct injection fuel system and a well-engineered air cleaner, it offers good efficiency and reliability, but the 16:1 compression may require careful monitoring of fuel quality to avoid knocking under heavy loads. The electric starter and manageable oil/coolant capacities (7.9 qts and 16 qts respectively) facilitate maintenance, although operators should be aware of potential challenges in sourcing specific parts for older models.
