Introduction
Massey Ferguson 4708 Utility Tractor
The Massey Ferguson 4708 is a utility tractor introduced in 2016 as part of the 4700 series. Designed for versatile agricultural operations, it is manufactured by AGCO and produced in facilities in China and Brazil.
Engine and Performance
The tractor is powered by an AGCO Power 33AWIC 3-cylinder diesel engine. This 3.3-liter unit features intercooled turbocharging and a high-pressure common rail fuel system. It produces a maximum power output of 85 hp (63.4 kW) at a rated speed of 2200 RPM. The engine complies with Tier IV emission standards through the use of selective catalytic reduction (SCR) and a diesel oxidation catalyst (DOC).
Transmission and Drivetrain
The 4708 offers two transmission configurations to suit operational requirements: an 8-speed mechanical shuttle transmission with a dry disc clutch, or a 12-speed power shuttle transmission equipped with a wet disc clutch. The tractor is available in both two-wheel drive and four-wheel drive variants, featuring planetary final drives and an electro-hydraulic rear differential lock for improved traction management.
Hydraulics and Hitch
The hydraulic system utilizes an open-center design capable of providing a flow of 17.2 gpm (65.1 lpm). It supports the operation of 1 to 3 remote valves. The rear of the tractor is equipped with a Category II hitch, providing a lift capacity of 4,850 lbs (2,199 kg) measured at 24 inches behind the lift point.
Operator Environment and Dimensions
The machine is configured with a two-post folding ROPS as standard, with an air-conditioned cab available as an option. It features a wheelbase of 88.5 inches (224 cm). Braking is handled by wet disc brakes, ensuring consistent performance. Standard tire configurations vary depending on the drive system, with specific options provided for both 2WD and 4WD models.
Conclusion
The Massey Ferguson 4708 is engineered as a robust utility tractor suitable for a wide range of general farming tasks. Its combination of modular transmission options, substantial hydraulic flow, and flexible drivetrain configurations makes it a practical solution for medium-scale agricultural applications.
