ENGINE DETAIL

The Massey Ferguson 5480, powered by a SisuDiesel 49CTA engine, offers a robust 140hp output with a respectable compression ratio of 17.5:1, enhancing torque delivery particularly at lower RPMs, making it suitable for heavy-duty farm tasks. The common rail fuel system optimizes fuel efficiency and minimizes emissions, vital for meeting Tier III regulations while potentially improving engine responsiveness. However, the dry air cleaner may necessitate more frequent maintenance in dusty environments, potentially impacting operational downtime.

MASSEY FERGUSON 5480 ENGINE

The Massey Ferguson 5480 is powered by a SisuDiesel 4.9L 4-cylinder engine, providing a balance of power and fuel efficiency for various agricultural tasks. Its fuel tank options include a 38-gallon and a larger 55-gallon variant, enabling extended operation without frequent refueling, which is advantageous for larger farming operations or long-duration tasks. However, operators should consider potential weight distribution challenges with the larger tank, affecting maneuverability in tighter spaces.

TRANSMISSION

The Massey Ferguson 5480 features a Dyna-4 partial power shift transmission, offering 16 gears (8 forward and 8 reverse) for enhanced versatility in various agricultural applications. The wet disc clutch ensures smoother gear changes and increased durability, making it suitable for demanding tasks. However, operators may need to familiarize themselves with the power shift mechanics to optimize its capabilities effectively.

MASSEY FERGUSON 5480 TIRES

The Massey Ferguson 5480 tractor offers both 2WD and 4WD configurations with a variety of tire options to enhance traction and stability during operations. The 4WD variant with optional tires offers improved performance in muddy or uneven terrain, thanks to a larger front tire size (380/85R28) than the standard (380/85R24), which can lead to better ground clearance and weight distribution. However, the choice of 2WD may limit traction in challenging conditions, making it less suitable for heavy-duty applications or rough landscapes.

2WD Standard tires (ag) Front: 10.00-16. Rear: 460/85R34
4WD Standard tires (ag) Front: 380/85R24. Rear: 460/85R34
