ENGINES OVERVIEW
The Massey Ferguson Super 90 features a Perkins 5.0L 4-cylinder diesel engine, which offers higher torque and fuel efficiency, making it suitable for heavy-duty agricultural tasks. Alternatively, the Continental 4.0L 4-cylinder gasoline engine provides a lighter weight and faster start-up, but may lack the same torque output and fuel economy as its diesel counterpart. Users must consider their specific application requirements, such as fuel availability and operating costs, to determine the best engine choice.
