With its impressive 161 horsepower and a suite of sophisticated features, this machine is built to tackle the most demanding agricultural tasks with efficiency and ease.

With a displacement of 402.5 cubic inches (6.6 L) and a compression ratio of 16.5:1, it's engineered for optimal performance. The engine operates at a rated RPM of 2200, supported by a dual paper element air cleaner and a 12-volt starter system, ensuring reliable power delivery for continuous operation.

Coupled with power steering and independent hydraulic wet disc brakes, maneuvering this tractor is both precise and safe.

Hydraulics & Hitch: Ready for Any Implement

The advanced hydraulics system, featuring a pressure flow compensated (PFC) type, delivers a robust pump flow of 27.7 gpm (104.8 lpm) and a substantial capacity of 35 gallons (132.5 L). This power is perfectly complemented by the Type III rear hitch, capable of lifting an impressive 14,000 lbs (6350 kg), making the 8240 adept at handling a wide array of implements.

Dimensions and Weight: Built for Stability

With a wheelbase of 108 inches (274 cm) and equipped with agricultural tires (11.00-16 front, 20.8R-38 rear), the 8240 offers excellent stability. Its operating weight, starting at 15,390 lbs (6980 kg) for 2WD models and reaching 16,305 lbs (7395 kg) for 4WD, provides a solid foundation for heavy-duty work.
