Introduction
Massey Ferguson 8245 Row-Crop Tractor
The Massey Ferguson 8245 is a high-horsepower row-crop tractor produced between 1999 and 2003. It represents a significant segment of heavy-duty agricultural machinery designed for demanding field operations, combining a robust 6-cylinder powerplant with a versatile powershift transmission.
Engine and Performance
The tractor is powered by a 7.4-liter, 6-cylinder Valmet diesel engine. This unit is turbocharged and intercooled, delivering 177 horsepower at a rated speed of 2200 RPM. The engine cooling system features a 24.6-liter capacity, and the intake air is filtered through a dual paper element system to ensure longevity under dusty field conditions.
Transmission and Drivetrain
Power is transferred through a full power shift transmission providing 18 forward and 6 reverse gears. The system utilizes an electro-hydraulic wet disc clutch, allowing for smooth gear changes without manual clutching. The tractor is equipped with a four-wheel drive system to maximize traction, supported by hydrostatic power steering and independent hydraulic wet disc brakes for precise control.
Hydraulics and PTO
The hydraulic system is of the pressure flow compensated (PFC) type, offering a total capacity of 108.6 liters and 4 control valves for implement operation. The rear independent PTO provides two selectable speeds of 540 and 1000 RPM, ensuring compatibility with a wide array of agricultural attachments.
Dimensions and Hitch
With an operating weight of 8,527 kg and a wheelbase of 307 cm, the machine provides a stable platform for heavy-duty work. It features a Category III rear hitch with a lift capacity of 6,350 kg. The standard configuration includes 14.9R-28 front tires and 18.4R-38 rear tires.
Conclusion
The Massey Ferguson 8245 is engineered for professional agricultural applications requiring high torque and consistent hydraulic performance. Its combination of a 177 hp engine, full power shift transmission, and substantial lift capacity makes it a suitable choice for large-scale row-crop farming and heavy implement management.
