Introduction

Massey Ferguson 1105 Row-Crop Tractor

The Massey Ferguson 1105 is a row-crop tractor produced between 1973 and 1978. Designed for heavy-duty agricultural operations, this two-wheel drive machine belongs to the high-horsepower segment of its era, offering a balance of mechanical durability and operational versatility.

Engine and Performance

The tractor is powered by a Perkins ATC6.3541 engine, a 5.8-liter (354 cubic inch) turbocharged diesel unit. This liquid-cooled, six-cylinder engine utilizes direct injection and operates at a rated speed of 2200 RPM. With a compression ratio of 16:1, it provides consistent power output for demanding field tasks.

Transmission and Drivetrain

Operators can choose between two transmission configurations. The Multi-Power option features a two-speed power shift system, providing 12 forward and 4 reverse gears, controlled via a 356 mm dry disc clutch. Alternatively, a standard 8-speed gear transmission with 2 reverse gears is available. The machine is equipped with power steering and hydraulic disc brakes to enhance maneuverability and control.

Hydraulics and PTO

The hydraulic system utilizes a closed-center design, delivering a pump flow of 75.7 liters per minute (20 gpm) at a pressure of 144.8 bar (2100 psi). The rear independent power take-off (PTO) supports both 540 and 1000 RPM speeds at 2000 engine RPM, allowing for the operation of a wide range of implements. The rear hitch is compatible with category II/III equipment and includes both position and draft control.

Dimensions and Chassis

Built on a 276 cm wheelbase, the tractor has an overall length of 457 cm. It features adjustable front and rear tread widths, with rear tread options extending up to 304 cm depending on the axle configuration. The machine is fitted with 11.00-16 agricultural front tires and 18.4-38 rear tires to ensure stability and traction in various field conditions.

Conclusion

The Massey Ferguson 1105 is a robust, high-capacity tractor engineered for mid-to-large scale row-crop farming. Its combination of a reliable Perkins engine, versatile transmission options, and substantial hydraulic capacity makes it a suitable machine for primary tillage, heavy hauling, and implement-intensive work.
