Introduction
Massey Ferguson 592: Row-Crop Tractor
The Massey Ferguson 592 is a row-crop tractor produced between 1980 and 1982. Designed for versatility in agricultural operations, this model integrates a reliable Perkins power plant with a functional transmission system suitable for various field tasks.
Engine and Performance
The tractor is powered by a Perkins A4.318 diesel engine. This four-cylinder, liquid-cooled unit features a 5.2-liter displacement with a bore and stroke of 4.50 by 5.00 inches. It produces a rated power of 85 hp (63.4 kW) at a governed engine speed of 2000 RPM. The engine is supported by an electric starter system.
Transmission and Drivetrain
The MF 592 utilizes a Multi-Power transmission, which provides a partial power shift capability. The system offers 12 forward and 4 reverse gears, allowing for speed adjustments under load. Power is transferred through a 305mm dry disc clutch. The tractor is available in both two-wheel and four-wheel drive configurations, featuring outboard planetary final drives.
Hydraulics and Hitch
The hydraulic system is of an open-center type, operating at a pressure of 2400 psi (165.5 bar) with a pump flow rate of 6.7 gpm (25.4 lpm). The rear hitch is a category 2 system featuring both position and draft control, complemented by top-link sensing. The maximum rear lift capacity is rated at 5400 lbs (2449 kg).
Power Take-Off and Controls
Equipped with an independent rear power take-off (PTO), the tractor offers two speed settings: 540 RPM at 1750 engine RPM and 1000 RPM at 2000 engine RPM. The PTO is engaged via a hydraulic wet disc clutch, and the output shaft is a standard 1.375-inch diameter. Operator control is facilitated by hydrostatic power steering and wet disc brakes.
Conclusion
The Massey Ferguson 592 is a mid-range row-crop tractor suited for standard agricultural duties. Its combination of a Perkins engine, versatile partial power shift transmission, and standard hydraulic lift capacity makes it a functional choice for farmers requiring a balanced machine for mixed cultivation tasks.
