Introduction
Massey Ferguson 6485 Row-Crop Tractor
The Massey Ferguson 6485 is a row-crop tractor manufactured in Beauvais, France, between 2004 and 2012. Belonging to the 6400 series, this machine was designed to provide a balance of power and operational versatility for mid-to-large scale agricultural applications.
Engine and Performance
The tractor is powered by a 6.6-liter, 6-cylinder Sisu diesel engine. Featuring turbocharging and intercooling, the unit delivers 153 hp (114.1 kW) at a rated speed of 2200 RPM. The engine utilizes a liquid-cooling system and a dual-element paper air cleaner to maintain efficiency and longevity under varying field conditions.
Transmission and Drivetrain
The standard transmission is the Dyna-6, a 24-speed semi-powershift system featuring six powershift gears across four ranges. An optional creeper gear configuration increases the total to 32 forward and reverse speeds, allowing for precise ground speeds during specialized field work. The drivetrain includes a wet disc clutch and is available in both two-wheel and four-wheel drive configurations.
Hydraulics and Hitch
The hydraulic system utilizes a closed-center pressure flow compensated (PFC) pump, providing a total flow of 29 gpm (109.8 lpm) at a system pressure of 2900 psi (200 bar). It supports between three and five remote valves. The rear three-point hitch is rated for a lift capacity of 12,037 lbs (5459 kg) at 24 inches, while an optional front hitch provides an additional 7,000 lbs (3175 kg) of lift capacity.
Operator Environment and Mechanical Features
The tractor is equipped with a standard cab featuring integrated air-conditioning to ensure operator comfort. Safety and maneuverability are managed through power steering and independent hydraulic wet disc brakes. The rear PTO is fully independent and offers three standard speeds: 540, 540E, and 1000 RPM.
Conclusion
The Massey Ferguson 6485 is a robust, well-rounded tractor suited for general row-crop farming. With its combination of a reliable Sisu engine, versatile Dyna-6 transmission, and high-capacity hydraulic output, it remains a capable workhorse for diverse agricultural tasks requiring consistent power and implement control.
