Introduction
Massey Ferguson 4609 Utility Tractor
The Massey Ferguson 4609 is a utility tractor produced between 2013 and 2015, belonging to the 4600 series. Designed for general agricultural operations, it features a robust chassis and an engine configuration optimized for reliability in various field applications.
Engine Specifications
The tractor is powered by an AGCO Power 33 AWIC engine, a 3.3-liter, 3-cylinder turbocharged and intercooled diesel unit. It utilizes a high-pressure common rail (HPCR) direct injection fuel system. To meet Interim Tier 4 emission standards, the engine incorporates exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) and a diesel oxidation catalyst (DOC). It produces 85 hp (63.4 kW) net power at a rated speed of 2200 RPM.
Transmission and Drivetrain
The machine is equipped with a power shuttle transmission providing 12 forward and 12 reverse gears. This system utilizes six synchronized gears across two ranges, managed by a left-hand power shuttle lever, allowing for efficient directional changes. The tractor is available in either two-wheel or four-wheel drive configurations, featuring internal planetary final drives and a mechanical differential lock operated via a foot pedal.
Hydraulics and PTO
Hydraulic power is provided by an open-center tandem pump system, delivering a flow rate of 17.1 gpm (64.7 lpm). The rear hydraulic system supports between one and three valves. The Category II three-point hitch offers position and draft control, with a lift capacity of 3417 lbs (1549 kg) measured at 24 inches behind the lift points. The independent rear PTO is electronically clutched and offers dual speeds of 540 and 1000 RPM.
Dimensions and Operator Station
The tractor features a wheelbase of 88.5 inches (224 cm) and a total length of 152.6 inches (387 cm). Standard configuration includes a two-post folding ROPS, with an optional factory cab equipped with air-conditioning. Weight varies by configuration, with a 4WD cab model weighing approximately 6835 lbs (3100 kg).
Conclusion
