Introduction
Massey Ferguson 2705 Row-Crop Tractor
Produced between 1978 and 1983, the Massey Ferguson 2705 is a two-wheel drive row-crop tractor designed for heavy-duty agricultural operations. With a power output of 133 horsepower, this model served as a core component of the manufacturer's lineup during the late 1970s and early 1980s.
Engine Specifications
The tractor is powered by the Perkins AT6.3544 engine, a 5.8-liter, 6-cylinder turbocharged diesel unit. It utilizes direct injection and a dual dry element air cleaner to maintain performance. The engine is liquid-cooled, with a coolant capacity of 29.3 liters, and operates at a rated speed of 2500 RPM.
Transmission and Drivetrain
The 2705 offers two main transmission configurations: a 24-speed Multi-Power transmission featuring a 3-speed power shift, or an 8-speed mechanical shuttle. Both systems utilize a 356mm cerametallic dry disc clutch. The final drives are of the planetary type, and the machine is equipped with hydrostatic power steering and differential hydraulic wet disc brakes.
Hydraulics and PTO
The hydraulic system is an open-center type delivering a pump flow of 62.5 liters per minute, with options for 2 or 3 valves to operate external implements. The rear PTO is independent, featuring a hydraulic clutch and dual-speed capability of 540 and 1000 RPM, supporting versatile power take-off applications.
Dimensions and Operator Environment
Built with a wheelbase of 267 cm, the tractor provides adjustable tread widths for both front and rear axles to accommodate various row-crop spacings. The standard configuration includes an air-conditioned cab, though a four-post ROPS platform was also available. The rear hitch is a Category II type with position control and lower-link draft sensing.
Conclusion
The Massey Ferguson 2705 is a specialized row-crop tractor suited for medium to large-scale farming operations requiring high power and precise implement control. Its combination of a turbocharged Perkins engine and flexible transmission options makes it a durable choice for field work.
