Introduction
Massey Ferguson 1200: Four-Wheel Drive Agricultural Tractor
The Massey Ferguson 1200 is a four-wheel drive tractor produced between 1972 and 1979 in Manchester, England. It belongs to the brand's heavy-duty segment, designed to provide stability and traction for demanding field operations.
Engine and Performance
The tractor is powered by the Perkins A6.354, a 5.8-liter, 6-cylinder liquid-cooled diesel engine. It delivers 105 hp (78.3 kW) at a rated speed of 2400 RPM. The engine produces a maximum torque of 269.8 lb-ft (365.8 Nm) at 1400 RPM, which provides consistent pulling power for heavy implements.
Transmission and Hydraulics
Two transmission configurations were available: a standard 8-speed (8 forward, 2 reverse) or the Multi-Power transmission (12 forward, 4 reverse). Both utilize a single dry plate clutch. The hydraulic system operates at a pressure of 2900 psi (200.0 bar) with a total flow capacity of 11.8 gpm (44.7 lpm), supporting standard hydraulic implement requirements.
Mechanical and Hitch Specifications
The chassis features hydrostatic power steering and hydraulic disc brakes for operator control. The rear hitch is a Category II type with a lift capacity of 7,500 lbs (3,402 kg). The independent rear PTO operates at 1000 RPM, allowing for versatile operation of power-driven equipment.
Dimensions and Operator Environment
The tractor has a wheelbase of 100.8 inches (256 cm) and a total weight of 11,370 lbs (5,157 kg), ensuring a stable footprint. It is equipped with 16.9-34 agricultural tires on both front and rear axles. The tractor features a standard cab, with optional heating and air-conditioning systems available for operator comfort.
Conclusion
The Massey Ferguson 1200 is a robust, high-traction machine suitable for large-scale field work. Its combination of a high-torque Perkins engine and four-wheel drive capability makes it a reliable choice for heavy tillage and draft applications.
