DIMENSIONS & TIRES
The Massey Ferguson 6140 tractor, with its compact wheelbase of 93.4-93.5 inches, offers excellent maneuverability, especially in tight field conditions. Weighing between 8,690 and 9,150 pounds, it provides a stable platform for various agricultural tasks; however, the choice of 2WD versus 4WD can impact traction, with 4WD being preferable for softer soils. The tire specifications (10.00-16 front and 16.9R34 rear) ensure suitable ground contact, but users may face challenges in varying load capacities and field conditions which could necessitate tire upgrades for optimal performance.
