ENGINE SPECIFICATIONS

The Massey Ferguson 6S 180 tractor features an AGCO Power engine with "All-in-One" technology, offering a balance between efficiency and high power output (180 ISO hp), and peaks at 200 hp with Engine Power Management (EPM) for heavy-duty applications. Its common rail injection system improves fuel efficiency and responsiveness at low RPMs, while the Vistronic fan system aids in optimal cooling across various load conditions. However, the relatively modest DEF tank capacity (9.2 gal) may require more frequent refills, especially for operations demanding high emissions control compliance.

DYNA-6 TRANSMISSION

The Massey Ferguson 6S 180 offers a robust 24 x 24 gear configuration, providing excellent torque management across various fields and terrains. Its minimum speed of 0.7 mph allows for precision operations in sensitive applications, while the Eco/Super Eco speeds of 25 mph and 31 mph enable optimal fuel efficiency during transport at varying engine RPMs (1400 and 1800, respectively). This tractor is particularly advantageous for mixed-use scenarios, balancing high productivity with economical operation, but users should consider tire size limitations to fully utilize its speed capabilities.

Number of gears 24 x 24 Fwd x Rev
Min. speed @ 1400 rpm 0.7 mph
25 mph Eco/Super Eco at engine speed with max. tire dimension 1500 (with 650/65 R38) rpm
31 mph* Eco at engine speed with max. tire dimension 1800 (with 650/65 R38) rpm

DYNA-VT TRANSMISSION

The Massey Ferguson 6S 180 features a stepless, continuously variable transmission (CVT), offering seamless shifting and improved fuel efficiency for varied applications. Its field speed range of 0.02-17 mph allows for precise operations such as tilling or planting, while the road speed capability of 0.02-31 mph supports efficient transport to and from fields. Potential challenges include mastering the CVT operation for new users, but the advantages include enhanced operator comfort and reduced wear on drivetrain components.

Type Stepless, continuously variable transmission
Field speed range Forward: 0.02-17 mph - reverse: 0.02-10 mph
Road speed range Forward: 0.02-25 mph - reverse: 0.02-23 mph/Forward: 0.02-31 mph* - reverse: 0.02-23 mph
