Introduction
Massey Ferguson 1742 Compact Utility Tractor
Produced by Massey Ferguson between 2013 and 2018, the 1742 is a compact utility tractor designed for versatile agricultural and landscaping applications. This four-wheel drive machine combines a turbocharged powertrain with flexible transmission options to support a wide range of implements.
Engine and Performance
The tractor is powered by a Mitsubishi K38 liquid-cooled, three-cylinder diesel engine with a displacement of 1.7 liters. It utilizes a turbocharged intercooled system and high-pressure common rail direct injection to deliver 41 hp (31.0 kW) at a rated speed of 2500 RPM. To comply with Tier IV emission standards, the engine is equipped with a diesel oxidation catalyst and a diesel particulate filter.
Transmission and Drivetrain
Operators can select between two transmission types: a 12-speed power shuttle transmission providing four synchronized gears across three ranges, or a three-range hydrostatic transmission for infinite speed control. The drivetrain features four-wheel drive for enhanced traction and wet disc brakes for reliable stopping power.
Hydraulics and Hitch
The hydraulic system employs an open-center gear pump providing a flow rate of 11.6 gpm (43.9 lpm), with the capacity to support up to three spool valves. The rear Category I three-point hitch offers position control and optional draft control, with a lift capacity of 2535 lbs (1149 kg) measured at 24 inches behind the lift point.
Operator Environment and Dimensions
The tractor is standard with a two-post folding Roll-Over Protective Structure (ROPS), while an air-conditioned cab is available as an option. The unit features a wheelbase of 71.1 inches and a width of 64.2 inches. Depending on the configuration, the machine weighs between 3638 lbs for the ROPS version and 4068 lbs for the cab model.
Conclusion
The Massey Ferguson 1742 is engineered for users requiring a reliable, mid-range compact utility tractor. Its configuration, featuring both rear and optional mid-mount PTOs combined with a robust hydraulic system, makes it well-suited for general agricultural work, property maintenance, and light-duty material handling.
