Introduction
Massey Ferguson 1155 Row-Crop Tractor
The Massey Ferguson 1155 is a row-crop tractor manufactured between 1973 and 1978. Designed for high-capacity agricultural operations, it represents a significant entry in the Massey Ferguson lineup during the 1970s.
Engine and Performance
The tractor is powered by a Perkins AV8.540 diesel engine, an 8-cylinder liquid-cooled unit with a displacement of 8.9 liters. It utilizes direct injection to achieve a rated output of 155 horsepower at 2200 RPM. The engine features a 17.5:1 compression ratio and is equipped with a dry air cleaner to maintain performance in dusty field environments.
Transmission and Drivetrain
The 1155 offers a Multi-Power transmission system, providing 12 forward and 4 reverse gears. It incorporates a two-speed power shift mechanism that allows for on-the-go gear adjustments without clutching. A standard 8-speed gear transmission was also available as an option. Power is delivered to the rear wheels, supported by hydraulic wet disc brakes and power steering for operator control.
Hydraulics and PTO
The hydraulic system utilizes a closed-center design, delivering a pump flow of 20 gpm (75.7 lpm) at a pressure of 2100 psi (144.8 bar). This capacity supports the operation of various hydraulic implements. The independent rear PTO is available in 540 and 1000 RPM settings, both achieved at a rated engine speed of 2000 RPM.
Dimensions and Hitch
With a wheelbase of 109 inches (276 cm) and an overall length of 180 inches (457 cm), the tractor provides stability for heavy-duty field tasks. It is equipped with a Category II/III rear three-point hitch featuring both position and draft control. The configuration includes 14L-16 front tires and 18.4-38 rear tires.
Conclusion
The Massey Ferguson 1155 is a heavy-duty row-crop tractor built for demanding agricultural applications. Its combination of a high-displacement 8-cylinder engine, Multi-Power transmission, and robust hydraulic system makes it a reliable choice for primary tillage and heavy implement operation.
