MASSEY FERGUSON 8727 ENGINE
The Massey Ferguson 8727 is powered by an AGCO POWER 8.4L 6-cylinder diesel engine, providing robust performance for heavy-duty applications. With a substantial fuel tank capacity of 166 gallons (628.3L), it offers extended operational range, ideal for long hours in the field without frequent refueling. However, consider the 15.8-gallon (59.8L) DEF tank requirement for compliance with emission standards, which may necessitate planning for additional maintenance logistics in high-use scenarios.

TRANSMISSION
The Massey Ferguson 8727 features a Dyna-VT continuously variable transmission (CVT), providing infinite forward and reverse speeds, which enhances operational flexibility and fuel efficiency during various farming tasks. The two-range capability allows for optimal performance across different ground conditions, facilitating seamless transitions between low and high-speed operations. However, users may need to familiarize themselves with CVT mechanics, which can be more complex than traditional gear transmissions but ultimately offer smoother driving and better engine management.
