MASSEY FERGUSON 420 POWER
ENGINE DETAIL
The Massey Ferguson 420 tractor, powered by a Perkins 1103C 33T turbocharged diesel engine, delivers a substantial 64 hp at 2200 RPM, with peak torque of 199.1 lb-ft at a lower 1400 RPM, ideal for tasks requiring strong low-end power. With a displacement of 3.3L and a dual dry air cleaner, the engine is optimized for efficient operation and longevity, though maintenance of the air cleaner can be crucial to prevent performance losses. This tractor's inline 3-cylinder configuration provides a compact design advantageous in tight workspaces, but may require careful attention to vibration management due to its fewer cylinders compared to larger models.

TRANSMISSION
The Massey Ferguson 420 features an 8 forward and reverse synchro shuttle transmission, facilitating smooth and efficient directional changes, ideal for varied agricultural tasks. The 305mm cerametalic clutch provides enhanced durability and effective torque transfer, although it may require more precise operation in certain conditions. This configuration is advantageous for farmers seeking versatility in both transport and field work, but operators must be mindful of clutch wear during intensive use.

MASSEY FERGUSON 420 TIRES
The Massey Ferguson 420 tractor features versatile tire options for both 2WD and 4WD configurations, allowing for improved traction and stability across various terrains. The 6.00-16 front tires and 13.6-28 rear tires provide a balance between load-bearing capacity and ground contact, essential for agricultural applications. In 4WD mode, the addition of 280/70R20 front tires enhances maneuverability and reduces soil compaction, making it advantageous for operations in softer, more challenging soils.
