Introduction
Massey Ferguson 6290 Row-Crop Tractor
The Massey Ferguson 6290 is a row-crop tractor manufactured in Beauvais, France, between 1999 and 2003. Positioned as a versatile utility machine, it was engineered to handle various field operations with a focus on operator control and mechanical efficiency.
Engine and Performance
The tractor is powered by a liquid-cooled Perkins 6-cylinder turbocharged diesel engine with a displacement of 6.0 liters (365.2 cubic inches). It operates at a rated speed of 2200 RPM and features a 16.0:1 compression ratio, providing a power output of 133 horsepower.
Transmission and Drivetrain
The 6290 offers two transmission configurations: the Dynashift or the optional DynaShuttle. Both provide 32 forward and 32 reverse speeds, utilizing a four-speed power shift system across four ranges and two gear groups. Both systems incorporate wet disc clutches to manage power delivery to the wheels.
Hydraulics and Hitch
The hydraulic system is primarily an open-center design with a pump flow capacity of 14.9 gpm (56.4 lpm) and a total system capacity of 16.4 gallons (62.1 L). A closed-center, pressure-flow compensated system was available as an option. The rear Category II hitch provides a lift capacity of 9,200 lbs (4,173 kg).
Mechanical Specifications
The machine is available in both two-wheel and four-wheel drive variants. Steering is managed by a hydrostatic power system, while braking is handled by independent hydraulic wet disc brakes. The tractor features a wheelbase of 106.3 inches and an operating weight ranging from 10,625 lbs to 11,565 lbs depending on the drive configuration.
