From its robust engine to its intuitive controls, the 6497 is a true partner for any farming operation.

Unleash the Power: SisuDiesel Engine

At the heart of the Massey Ferguson 6497 lies a formidable SisuDiesel 74 CTA engine. This 6-cylinder, turbocharged diesel powerhouse boasts a displacement of 449 cubic inches (7.4 liters) and delivers a commanding 200 horsepower at 2200 RPM. Designed to meet Tier III emissions standards, it provides exceptional power while respecting environmental regulations. Its liquid-cooled system and dry air cleaner ensure reliability and longevity, even under the most demanding conditions.

Effortless Control: Dyna-6 Transmission

Experience seamless gear changes and optimal power delivery with the Dyna-6 transmission. This advanced system offers a total of 24 forward and reverse gears, featuring six power shift gears within four ranges. Coupled with a hydraulic wet disc clutch, it ensures smooth and precise operation, allowing you to effortlessly adapt to any task, whether it's plowing fields or transporting goods. The partial power shift design means you can change gears on the move without disengaging the clutch, maximizing efficiency.

Hydraulic Excellence for Demanding Tasks

The 6497 is equipped with a state-of-the-art closed center pressure flow compensating (PFC) hydraulic system. This sophisticated setup provides a robust total flow of 29 GPM (109.8 lpm) and operates at a strong pressure of 2900 psi (200.0 bar). With the capacity to support 3 to 5 valves, this system is more than capable of handling a wide array of hydraulic implements, ensuring you have the power and control needed for every job.

Comfort and Command: The Operator's Station

Designed with the operator in mind, the Massey Ferguson 6497 features a standard cab that offers a sanctuary of comfort and control. Equipped with air conditioning, you can maintain an optimal working environment regardless of the weather outside. Power steering makes maneuvering effortless, reducing fatigue during long working days. The hydraulic wet disc brakes provide reliable stopping power, ensuring safety is always paramount.

Versatile Hitching and PTO Capabilities

This tractor is built for adaptability. The Category III/III N rear hitch boasts an impressive lift capacity of 15,700 lbs (7121 kg), ready to tackle the heaviest implements. For added versatility, an optional front hitch is available, capable of lifting up to 8,800 lbs (3991 kg). Power take-off options include an independent rear PTO with 540/1000 speeds and an optional independent front PTO running at 1000 RPM, ensuring compatibility with a vast range of machinery.
