Manufactured by Toyosha in Osaka, Japan, and distributed under the Massey Ferguson brand, this model belongs to the 210 series and was designed for versatile use in agricultural and landscape maintenance applications.
Engine and Performance
The tractor is powered by a Toyosha S148 two-cylinder, liquid-cooled diesel engine. With a displacement of 90.3 cubic inches (1.5 liters), it produces 31 hp (23.1 kW) at a rated speed of 2500 RPM.

It delivers 67.3 lb-ft (91.3 Nm) of torque at 1700 RPM, providing consistent power for various light-to-medium duty agricultural tasks.
Transmission and Drivetrain
The transmission system consists of a gear-type arrangement offering 12 forward and 3 reverse speeds, organized into three ranges: low, medium, and high. Power is transmitted through a 215mm mechanical dry disc clutch. The tractor is available in either two-wheel or four-wheel drive configurations and includes a mechanical rear differential lock to enhance traction in challenging field conditions.
Hydraulics and PTO
The hydraulic system utilizes an open-center design with a pump flow rate of 5.4 gpm (20.4 lpm) at a system pressure of 1700 psi (117.2 bar). The rear PTO operates at 540 RPM at an engine speed of 2327 RPM. A Category I rear three-point hitch with position control is standard, and an independent front PTO is available as an option.
Dimensions and Operator Station
The operator station features an open design with an optional two-post fixed ROPS for safety. Maneuverability is facilitated by manual steering and mechanical drum brakes. The wheelbase measures 61.6 inches for the 2WD model and 62.6 inches for the 4WD version. The tractor supports various tire configurations, including agricultural and turf patterns, with adjustable rear tread widths ranging from 40.9 to 62.5 inches.
