The Massey Ferguson 154-4 is a four-wheel-drive utility tractor produced in Italy by Landini between 1980 and 1981. Designed for general agricultural tasks, this model combines a compact footprint with mechanical reliability.
Engine and Performance
The tractor is powered by a liquid-cooled Perkins AD3.152 three-cylinder diesel engine. With a displacement of 152.7 cubic inches (2.5 liters) and a direct injection fuel system, it produces 50 horsepower at a rated speed of 2200 RPM. The engine features an oil bath air cleaner to maintain performance in dusty field conditions, and it generates 126.6 lb-ft of torque at 1350 RPM.
Transmission and Drivetrain
The transmission system consists of 12 forward and 4 reverse gears. It is a partially synchronized unit featuring four synchronized gears across three ranges, requiring the tractor to be stationary to shift ranges. Power is delivered through a 279.4mm dry disc clutch, and the machine is equipped with mechanical rear differential lock and power steering to assist with maneuverability.
Hydraulics and PTO
The hydraulic system utilizes an open-center design with a pump flow capacity of 7.4 gallons per minute (28.0 liters per minute). The rear hitch is a Category II type with both position and draft control, capable of lifting up to 5,842 lbs (2,649 kg) at the ends. The independent rear PTO offers two speeds: 540 RPM at 1944 engine RPM and 1000 RPM at 1916 engine RPM.
