MASSEY FERGUSON 4609 ENGINE
The Massey Ferguson 4609, equipped with an AGCO Power 3.3L 3-cylinder diesel engine, offers a balance of efficiency and compactness, making it ideal for smaller farming operations or tight spaces. With a fuel tank capacity of 27 gallons (102.2 liters), it provides extended run times between refueling, which is advantageous for long days in the field. However, while the 3-cylinder engine optimizes fuel economy, it may present challenges in high-load applications compared to larger engines.

MASSEY FERGUSON 4609 TIRES
The Massey Ferguson 4609 tractor offers versatility in tire options, with both 2WD and 4WD configurations. The 4WD variant enhances traction and stability, making it more suitable for challenging terrains, while the 2WD option provides cost-effectiveness for lighter agricultural tasks. Consider the tire size and configuration based on intended application, as larger rear tires (18.4-30 for 4WD) can improve towing capacity but may also increase soil compaction.
