Introduction
Massey Ferguson 3525 row-crop tractor
The Massey Ferguson 3525 is a row-crop tractor produced between 1983 and 1987 in France. Designed for professional agricultural operations, this model integrates a six-cylinder turbocharged engine within the 3500 series lineup.
Engine and Performance
The tractor is powered by a 5.8-liter (354 ci) Perkins six-cylinder turbocharged diesel engine. It delivers 130 hp (96.9 kW) at a rated speed of 2400 RPM. The engine features liquid cooling and a compression ratio of 15.5:1, utilizing a dual-element paper air cleaner for intake filtration.
Transmission and Drivetrain
The 3525 is equipped with a partial power shift transmission, offering 16 forward and 12 reverse gears. The system consists of four gears in two ranges, supplemented by a two-speed push-button power shift and a manual shuttle. Shifts within ranges are synchronized. Steering is managed via a hydrostatic power system, and the tractor includes differential hydraulic wet disc brakes with a hydraulic differential lock.
Hydraulics and PTO
The open-center hydraulic system provides a total flow of 29.5 gpm (111.7 lpm) at a pressure of 2539 psi (175.1 bar). It supports two or three auxiliary valves. The rear power take-off (PTO) is independent and offers two selectable speeds of 540 and 1000 RPM, allowing for the operation of various implements.
Dimensions and Capacity
With an operating weight of 13,100 lbs (5942 kg) and a wheelbase of 107 inches (271 cm), the tractor provides stability for heavy-duty tasks. The rear three-point hitch (Category II) is capable of lifting 7,611 lbs (3452 kg) at a distance of 24 inches behind the lift point.
