ENGINE DETAIL
The Massey Ferguson 8650 tractor features a robust AGCO SISU POWER 84CTA engine, delivering maximum power of 270hp, ideal for heavy-duty agricultural tasks. Its SCR system effectively minimizes NOx emissions, though operators may need to consider the additional maintenance for diesel exhaust fluid, while the alternative EGR option could simplify operation but may lead to higher particulate matter. With a strong torque of 874 lb-ft at 1500 RPM, this tractor excels in heavy pulling scenarios, making it suitable for demanding farming applications.
| Description | AGCO SISU POWER 84CTA turbocharged intercooled diesel 6-cylinder liquid-cooled The engine uses AGCO's e3 selective catalytic reduction (SCR) system to reduce nitrogen oxides (NOx). The system uses a diesel exhaust fluid that is injected into the exhaust gas. Engine optionally available with exhaust gas recirculation instead of SCR. |

MASSEY FERGUSON 8650 ENGINE
The Massey Ferguson 8650 features an AGCO SISU POWER 8.4L 6-cylinder diesel engine, providing strong power output and efficiency suitable for heavy-duty agricultural tasks. With a fuel tank capacity of 155.9 gallons for SCR (Selective Catalytic Reduction) systems and 182.3 gallons for IEGR (Internal Exhaust Gas Recirculation), it supports extended operation periods, minimizing downtime in the field. However, the usage of an 8-gallon DEF tank for emissions compliance could add logistics challenges in sourcing DEF in remote agricultural areas.

TRANSMISSION
The Massey Ferguson 8650 features a Dyna-VT continuously-variable transmission (CVT), which provides infinite gear ratios for optimal engine efficiency and smooth operation. This allows for seamless speed adjustments, enhancing productivity in various field conditions. However, the complexity of CVT systems may entail higher maintenance costs compared to traditional gear transmissions, making it essential for operators to be trained in its specific nuances.
