Introduction
Massey Ferguson 1150 Row-Crop Tractor
Produced between 1970 and 1972, the Massey Ferguson 1150 is a heavy-duty, two-wheel-drive row-crop tractor engineered for large-scale agricultural operations of the era.
Engine and Performance
The tractor is powered by a Perkins AV8.510 liquid-cooled V-8 diesel engine. With a displacement of 8.3 liters (503.8 cubic inches), it delivers 146 hp at a rated speed of 2200 RPM. The engine produces a peak torque of 539 lb-ft at 1450 RPM, providing the necessary force for heavy traction tasks.
Transmission and Drivetrain
The drivetrain features a Multi-Power transmission system, which integrates a two-speed power shift. This configuration provides 12 forward and 4 reverse gears, allowing the operator to adjust speeds without clutching. The power is transmitted through a 279.4 mm cerametallic clutch.
Hydraulics and PTO
The Massey Ferguson 1150 utilizes a closed-center hydraulic system with a pump flow capacity of 20 gpm (75.7 lpm). The rear PTO is independent, offering both 540 and 1000 RPM speeds via a 1.375-inch shaft, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of implements.
Chassis and Dimensions
Built on a 107.9-inch wheelbase, the tractor features a robust design with differential hydraulic disc brakes and power steering. It was available as an open operator station or with an optional air-conditioned cab. The machine supports various rear tire configurations, including 18.4-34 and 24.5x32 options, to suit specific soil conditions.
Conclusion
The Massey Ferguson 1150 serves as a reliable, high-horsepower workhorse designed for farmers requiring significant pulling power and versatile implement management in row-crop environments.
