The Massey Ferguson 6255 is a row-crop tractor manufactured in Beauvais, France, between 1999 and 2003. Part of the 6200 series, this model was designed to provide a balance of power and versatility for varied agricultural operations.
Engine and Performance
The tractor is powered by a 4.0-liter, 4-cylinder Perkins turbocharged diesel engine. It delivers 94 horsepower at a rated speed of 2200 RPM. The engine utilizes a liquid cooling system and maintains a compression ratio of 17.3:1, designed for sustained field performance.

Equipped with an open-center hydraulic system, the tractor provides a pump flow of 14.9 gpm (56.4 lpm) and includes two valves. It features an independent rear PTO capable of operating at 540 or 1000 RPM. The Category II rear hitch offers a lift capacity of 7,000 lbs (3,175 kg), allowing for the use of various implements.
Mechanical and Dimensions
The chassis is available in two-wheel or four-wheel drive configurations. Braking is handled by independent hydraulic wet disc brakes, and steering is provided by a hydrostatic power system. With a wheelbase of 100.5 inches, the 4WD model has an operating weight of 9,820 lbs. The operator environment includes a standard cab with the option for a two-post ROPS platform.
