ENGINE DETAIL
The Massey Ferguson 6290 features a Perkins turbocharged diesel engine with a robust 6.0L displacement, providing significant power for heavy-duty applications. Its 16:1 compression ratio and dual paper air cleaners enhance efficiency and performance, particularly in agricultural tasks requiring consistent torque at lower RPMs (rated at 2200). However, the coolant capacity of 26.4 quarts necessitates proper monitoring to prevent overheating during prolonged use; regular maintenance is essential to capitalize on the engine's capabilities.
