Introduction
Massey Ferguson 2745 Row-Crop Tractor
The Massey Ferguson 2745 is a row-crop tractor produced between 1978 and 1983. Designed for heavy-duty agricultural operations, this model is part of a series that emphasizes mechanical reliability and versatility in field performance.
Engine and Power
The tractor is powered by a liquid-cooled Perkins 8.540 diesel engine. This 8-cylinder unit features a displacement of 539 cubic inches (8.8 liters) and utilizes direct fuel injection. With a rated RPM of 2600, it delivers 155 horsepower, providing the necessary torque for demanding traction tasks.
Transmission and Driveline
The 2745 offers two primary transmission options: a Multi-Power system featuring 24 forward and 6 reverse gears with three power shift speeds per gear, or a mechanical shuttle transmission with 8 forward and 6 reverse gears. Both systems utilize a 356mm dual cerametallic dry disc clutch to manage power delivery to the two-wheel drive planetary final drives.
Hydraulics and PTO
The hydraulic system is an open-center design with a main pump flow of 17.1 gpm (64.7 lpm), supplemented by a 6.6 gpm low-pressure circuit and a dedicated 5.7 gpm steering flow. It supports 2 or 3 remote valves. The independent rear PTO provides 540 and 1000 RPM speeds, engaged via a hydraulic clutch, and supports Category II implements with position and draft sensing control.
Dimensions and Operator Environment
With a wheelbase of 110 inches and a standard width of 91.6 inches, the tractor provides a stable footprint for field work. The operator environment includes a standard cab equipped with air conditioning, with an alternative platform configuration featuring a four-post Roll-Over Protective Structure (ROPS) available for specific requirements.
Conclusion
The Massey Ferguson 2745 is a high-capacity row-crop tractor suited for large-scale farming operations requiring consistent power, flexible gear selection, and robust hydraulic capabilities for varied implements.
