Introduction
Massey Ferguson 6499 Row-Crop Tractor
The Massey Ferguson 6499 is a row-crop tractor produced between 2008 and 2012. Designed for heavy-duty agricultural operations, this model balances significant power output with a versatile transmission system and robust hydraulic capabilities.
Engine and Performance
The tractor is powered by a SisuDiesel 74 CTA engine, a 7.4-liter, 6-cylinder turbocharged diesel unit. It features liquid cooling and complies with Tier III emission standards. With a rated speed of 2200 RPM, it provides a gross power output of 215 hp (160.3 kW), making it suitable for demanding traction and implement-driven tasks.
Transmission and Drivetrain
The machine utilizes the Dyna-6 transmission, a partial power shift system offering 24 forward and 24 reverse gears. This arrangement includes six power shiftable gears across four ranges, managed by a hydraulic wet disc clutch. The tractor is configured with four-wheel drive, power steering, and hydraulic wet disc brakes for enhanced maneuverability and stopping power.
Hydraulics and Hitch
The hydraulic system is a closed-center pressure flow compensating (PFC) setup, providing a total flow of 29 gpm (109.8 lpm) at a pressure of 2900 psi, with an optional 39 gpm capacity available. The rear hitch utilizes lower-link draft sensing with a lifting capacity of 15,700 lbs (7,121 kg). An optional front hitch is available with a capacity of 8,800 lbs (3,991 kg).
Power Take-Off
The rear PTO is independent, featuring speed options of 540/1000, with further variations including 540/540E/1000 available as options. An independent front PTO, operating at 1000 RPM, is also offered to increase the machine's versatility with front-mounted implements.
Conclusion
The Massey Ferguson 6499 is a high-capacity row-crop tractor characterized by its reliable SisuDiesel powertrain and the flexible Dyna-6 transmission. Its substantial hydraulic flow and lifting capacity, combined with a standard air-conditioned cab, make it a functional choice for professional farming operations requiring consistent performance in the field.
