Introduction
Massey Ferguson 7499: Row-Crop Tractor
The Massey Ferguson 7499 is a high-horsepower row-crop tractor manufactured in Beauvais, France, between 2009 and 2012. Designed for heavy-duty agricultural operations, this model balances significant power output with the operational flexibility of a continuously variable transmission.
Engine and Performance
The tractor is powered by an AGCO Sisu Power 74 CTA, a 7.4-liter, 6-cylinder, 24-valve turbocharged diesel engine. It features an air-to-air intercooling system and is liquid-cooled. The unit delivers a rated power of 220 hp (164.1 kW) at 2200 RPM, with a maximum power output reaching 240 hp (179.0 kW).
Transmission and Drivetrain
The 7499 utilizes the Dyna-VT continuously variable transmission (CVT), which provides infinite forward and reverse speeds across two ranges. This system is paired with an electro-hydraulic clutch. The drivetrain features a four-wheel drive configuration, power steering, and inboard planetary final drives. Differential locks for both front and rear axles are electro-hydraulically controlled.
Hydraulics and Hitch
The machine is equipped with a closed-center hydraulic system, providing a standard total flow of 29.1 gpm (110.1 lpm) at 2900 psi (200 bar), with an optional high-flow capacity of 39.6 gpm (149.9 lpm). It supports 3 or 4 valves. The rear Category III hitch features lower-link draft sensing with a lift capacity of 16,140 lbs (7,321 kg), and an optional front hitch is available with an 8,800 lbs (3,991 kg) lift capacity.
Dimensions and Operator Environment
With an operating weight of 17,685 lbs (8,021 kg) and a wheelbase of 118 inches (299 cm), the tractor is designed for stability under load. The operator station comes standard with an air-conditioned cab, with an optional pneumatic cab suspension system available to improve comfort during extended operation.
Conclusion
The Massey Ferguson 7499 is a robust row-crop tractor suited for professional farming environments requiring high tractive force and precise speed control. Its combination of a high-torque engine and a CVT transmission makes it a versatile tool for both heavy tillage and precision field tasks.
