MASSEY FERGUSON 6120 ENGINE

The Massey Ferguson 6120, powered by a Perkins 4.1L 4-cylinder diesel engine, offers a good balance between power and efficiency, suitable for medium-duty farming tasks. Its 34.3-gallon (129.8L) fuel tank ensures extended operation time, reducing downtime for refueling during critical work periods. However, the weight-to-power ratio should be considered if heavy lifting or hilly terrain is planned, as it may affect maneuverability and performance under load.
