ENGINE DETAIL
The Massey Ferguson 565 features a Perkins A4.236 diesel engine, providing a robust 60hp at 2000 RPM, which balances efficiency and power, ideal for mid-level agricultural tasks. With a compression ratio of 16:1 and a torque of 169.6 lb-ft at the same RPM, it ensures good low-end performance, but note that maintenance of the dry air cleaner is essential for optimal intake efficiency. However, the oil and coolant capacities (7.5 qts and 15 qts respectively) necessitate regular monitoring, particularly in intensive operation scenarios to prevent overheating and maintain lubrication.
