Introduction
Massey Ferguson 1225 Compact Utility Tractor
The Massey Ferguson 1225 is a compact utility tractor produced between 1999 and 2002. Manufactured by Iseki, this machine was designed for light agricultural tasks, property maintenance, and landscaping work, sharing a similar platform with the Iseki TM223.
Engine and Performance
The tractor is powered by an Iseki E3112 3-cylinder liquid-cooled diesel engine with a displacement of 1.1 liters. It produces a gross power output of 24.3 hp (18.1 kW) and a net power of 22.5 hp (16.8 kW) at a rated speed of 2800 RPM. The engine utilizes indirect injection and glow plugs for cold starting, delivering 49.4 lb-ft (67.0 Nm) of torque at 2000 RPM.
Transmission and Drive
The 1225 offers two transmission choices: a mechanical gear-driven system with 6 forward and 2 reverse speeds, or an infinite-range hydrostatic transmission. It is available in both two-wheel and four-wheel drive configurations, featuring power steering and mechanical dry shoe brakes for maneuverability and control.
Hydraulics and PTO
Equipped with an open-center hydraulic system, the tractor provides a total flow of 5.3 gpm (20.1 lpm), with 2.6 gpm (9.8 lpm) dedicated to implement operation. The rear three-point hitch is category I and provides a lift capacity of 1210 lbs (548 kg). Standard PTO configurations include a 540 RPM rear PTO and a 2000 RPM mid-mount PTO.
Dimensions and Build
With a wheelbase of 59.8 inches (151 cm) and a total length of 91.1 inches (231 cm), the 1225 maintains a compact footprint suitable for tight spaces. Shipping weights range from 1367 lbs (620 kg) for the 2WD gear model to 1499 lbs (679 kg) for the 4WD hydrostatic version. The tractor is fitted with a fixed two-post ROPS for operator safety.
Conclusion
The Massey Ferguson 1225 is a reliable, entry-level utility tractor suited for small-scale farming and groundskeeping.
