Introduction
Massey Ferguson 135 Utility Tractor
The Massey Ferguson 135 is a utility tractor produced between 1965 and 1979 in Coventry, England. Known for its reliability and versatility, this model served as a standard machine for various agricultural applications throughout the late 1960s and 1970s.
Engine and Performance
The tractor is powered by a Perkins AG3.152 liquid-cooled, 3-cylinder gasoline engine. With a displacement of 152.7 cubic inches (2.5 liters), it produces a rated output of 45.5 horsepower at 2000 RPM. The engine features a 7.5:1 compression ratio and uses an electrical system with a 12-volt starter and a generator-based charging system.
Transmission and Drivetrain
The Massey Ferguson 135 offers several transmission configurations to suit operational requirements. Options include a standard 6-speed or 8-speed manual transmission. Additionally, the Multi-Power transmission provides 12 forward and 4 reverse speeds, featuring a partial power shift that allows for clutchless transitions between high and low ranges to optimize torque on varying terrain.
Hydraulics and Hitch
The hydraulic system is designed for implement control, utilizing a linkage pump with a flow rate of 15.6 gallons per minute (59.0 lpm) and a service pump delivering 8.4 gallons per minute (31.8 lpm), providing a total flow of 12.3 gallons per minute (46.6 lpm). The rear hitch is Category II/I compatible and includes both position and draft control, with a lift capacity of 3150 lbs (1428 kg).
Dimensions and Operator Station
This two-wheel drive tractor features a 74.25-inch (188 cm) wheelbase and an overall length of 117.5 inches (298 cm). The operating weight is approximately 4079 lbs (1850 kg). The tractor is equipped with an open operator station as standard, with an optional quick-detach cab available for increased operator protection.
