Introduction
Massey Ferguson 374S Orchard and Vineyard Tractor
The Massey Ferguson 374S is a compact agricultural tractor specifically engineered for orchard and vineyard operations. Manufactured in Italy between 1994 and 1999, this model was designed to provide specialized performance in narrow-row environments while maintaining standard agricultural functionality.
Engine and Performance
The tractor is powered by a Perkins A4.236 3.9-liter 4-cylinder diesel engine. This liquid-cooled power plant delivers 63 horsepower at a rated engine speed of 2200 RPM. The engine utilizes a dry-type air cleaner and is paired with a 12-volt starting system, providing consistent reliability for intensive field tasks.
Transmission and Drivetrain
The 374S offers multiple transmission configurations to suit specific operational needs. Options include a 12-speed synchro gearbox, a 12-speed shuttle transmission for efficient forward-reverse maneuvering, and a 24-speed creeper transmission for low-speed precision work. The drivetrain supports both two-wheel and four-wheel drive configurations, complemented by an electro-hydraulic differential lock on both axles.
Hydraulics and PTO
The hydraulic system features a pump flow rate of 11.2 gpm (42.4 lpm), with an optional capacity of 14.3 gpm (54.1 lpm). It is equipped with two rear valves as standard, with the option to add three front valves for front-mounted implements. The independent rear PTO operates at 540 RPM at 1960 engine RPM, with selectable speeds of 540/750 or 540/1000 RPM depending on the configuration.
Dimensions and Hitch
Designed for maneuverability, the 374S has a narrow width of 53.5 inches (135 cm) and a wheelbase of 79.3 inches in the 4WD version. It features a Category II/I rear hitch with a lift capacity of 5732 lbs (2600 kg) at the ends. The tractor is equipped with hydraulic wet disc brakes and power steering to assist in navigating confined orchard spaces.
Conclusion
