Introduction

Massey Ferguson 2720 Row-Crop Tractor

The Massey Ferguson 2720 is a row-crop tractor produced between 1982 and 1985. Designed for heavy-duty agricultural operations, this model is recognized for its robust construction, four-wheel drive capability, and reliance on Perkins engine technology.

Engine and Performance

The tractor is powered by a Perkins AT6.354.4 engine, a 5.8-liter, 6-cylinder liquid-cooled turbocharged diesel unit. It features direct injection, an ether injection starting aid, and a dry air cleaner. The engine is rated at 2400 RPM, producing 147 hp (109.6 kW) and 363.6 lb-ft (493.0 Nm) of torque at 1600 RPM, providing the necessary output for demanding field tasks.

Transmission and Drivetrain

Equipped with a two-speed power shift transmission, the Massey Ferguson 2720 offers 16 forward and 12 reverse gears. Power is transferred through a 355mm dry disc clutch. The tractor utilizes a four-wheel-drive system, complemented by power steering and hydraulic wet disc brakes for improved handling and safety during operation.

Hydraulics and Hitch

The hydraulic system operates at a pressure of 2538 psi (175.0 bar) with a pump flow rate of 14.5 gpm (54.9 lpm). The rear hitch is a Category III/II configuration, capable of lifting up to 16,140 lbs (7,321 kg), which allows for the operation of heavy implements.

Dimensions and Capacity

With a wheelbase of 107.5 inches (273 cm) and a total operating weight of 13,514 lbs (6,129 kg), the tractor provides a stable platform for field work. It sits on standard agricultural tires sized 16.9-28 at the front and 20.8-38 at the rear. The machine measures 200.4 inches in length and 83.5 inches in width.

Conclusion

The Massey Ferguson 2720 is a high-capacity row-crop tractor suited for professional agricultural environments requiring significant pulling power and implement versatility. Its combination of a powerful Perkins engine and a high-capacity hydraulic hitch system makes it a reliable asset for heavy-duty farming.
