Introduction
Massey Ferguson 7497 Row-Crop Tractor
The Massey Ferguson 7497 is a high-performance row-crop tractor manufactured in Beauvais, France, between 2009 and 2012. Designed for demanding agricultural applications, this machine combines high power output with advanced transmission technology to meet professional farming requirements.
Engine and Performance
The tractor is powered by a 7.4-liter, 6-cylinder, 24-valve AGCO Sisu Power diesel engine. It delivers a rated power of 205 hp (152.9 kW) and a maximum power of 225 hp (167.8 kW). The engine meets Tier III emission standards and is liquid-cooled, ensuring reliable operation under heavy load conditions.
Transmission and Drivetrain
Equipped with the Dyna-VT continuously variable transmission (CVT), the 7497 offers infinite forward and reverse speeds across two ranges, allowing for precise speed control without shifting gears. The drivetrain features four-wheel drive, power steering, and hydraulic wet disc brakes, complemented by electro-hydraulic differential locks on both the front and rear axles for enhanced traction.
Hydraulics and Hitch
The hydraulic system is of the closed-center type, providing a total flow of 29.1 gpm (110.1 lpm) at 2900 psi (200 bar), with 3 or 4 valves available. The rear hitch is a Category III system featuring lower-link draft sensing, capable of lifting 16,140 lbs (7,321 kg) at 24 inches behind the lift point. An optional front hitch and lift system with 8,800 lbs (3,991 kg) capacity is also available.
Operator Environment and Dimensions
The machine comes standard with an air-conditioned cab, with an optional pneumatic suspension system to improve operator comfort. With an operating weight of 17,685 lbs (8,021 kg) and a wheelbase of 118 inches (299 cm), the tractor provides a stable platform for field work. It is equipped with a bar rear axle and independent rear PTO offering 540, 540E, and 1000 RPM speeds.
Conclusion
The Massey Ferguson 7497 is engineered for professional row-crop operations requiring high horsepower and precise speed management. Its combination of the Dyna-VT transmission, robust hydraulic capacity, and heavy-duty hitch system makes it a versatile tool for both heavy draft tasks and high-output field operations.
