Introduction
Massey Ferguson 2800 Row-Crop Tractor
The Massey Ferguson 2800 is a high-horsepower row-crop tractor produced between 1976 and 1977. Designed for large-scale agricultural operations, this two-wheel drive machine is powered by a robust eight-cylinder engine and provides significant traction and hydraulic capacity for heavy-duty field work.
Engine and Performance
The tractor is equipped with the Perkins ATV8.640, a turbocharged diesel engine featuring eight cylinders and a displacement of 640 cubic inches (10.5 liters). It utilizes a liquid-cooled system to maintain thermal stability during intensive operation and incorporates a CAV rotary fuel pump. The engine produces 211 horsepower, providing the necessary torque for demanding traction tasks in row-crop environments.
Transmission and Drivetrain
Operators can choose between two transmission configurations. The primary option is the Multi-Power transmission, which provides 24 forward and 6 reverse gears, utilizing a three-speed power shift to allow for on-the-fly gear adjustments without clutching. Alternatively, a mechanical shuttle transmission with 8 forward and 6 reverse gears is available. The drivetrain includes a hydraulic differential lock to improve traction in uneven soil conditions.
Hydraulics and PTO
The hydraulic system is of the open-center type, delivering a pump flow of 16.5 gpm (62.5 lpm) to support various implements, with a separate 5.5 gpm (20.8 lpm) flow dedicated to the hydrostatic power steering. The rear independent power take-off (PTO) operates at 1000 RPM, controlled by a hydraulic clutch, ensuring consistent power transfer to implements even when the tractor is stationary.
Dimensions and Chassis
With a wheelbase of 110 inches and an operating weight of approximately 13,000 lbs, the Massey Ferguson 2800 is built for stability. It features hydraulic disc brakes for reliable stopping power. The rear tread width is adjustable between 71 and 92 inches in standard configuration, with further options available for long and extra-long axle setups to accommodate different row spacing requirements.
Conclusion
The Massey Ferguson 2800 serves as a heavy-duty platform for farmers requiring high horsepower and versatile gear selection. Its combination of a high-displacement engine, flexible transmission options, and substantial hydraulic output makes it suitable for large-acreage cultivation and heavy implement operation.
