Introduction
Massey Ferguson 8260 Row-Crop Tractor
The Massey Ferguson 8260 is a heavy-duty row-crop tractor produced between 1999 and 2003. Designed for large-scale agricultural operations, this model integrates advanced hydraulic and mechanical systems to provide significant traction and lifting capabilities.
Engine and Performance
The tractor is powered by a 7.4-liter, 6-cylinder Valmet turbocharged and intercooled diesel engine. It generates 200 horsepower at a rated engine speed of 2200 RPM. The engine cooling system features a 24.6-liter capacity, and intake air is filtered through a dual-element paper air cleaner to maintain performance in dusty field conditions.
Transmission and Drivetrain
The 8260 utilizes a full power shift transmission offering 18 forward and 6 reverse gears, allowing for seamless speed adjustments without manual clutching. The system is managed by an electro-hydraulic wet disc clutch. Power is delivered to all four wheels, ensuring stability and traction during heavy draft work.
Hydraulics and Hitch
Equipped with a Pressure Flow Compensated (PFC) hydraulic system, the tractor offers a total capacity of 108.6 liters and features four remote valves to operate various implements. The rear hitch is a Category III type, providing a substantial lifting capacity of 16,000 lbs (7,257 kg). The rear PTO is independent and operates at a standard speed of 1000 RPM.
Mechanical Specifications and Dimensions
The tractor has a wheelbase of 307 cm and an operating weight of 8,548 kg, which contributes to its balanced center of gravity. Braking is handled by independent hydraulic wet disc brakes. The operator environment includes a standard factory-fitted cab designed for visibility and ergonomics during extended operation.
Conclusion
The Massey Ferguson 8260 is engineered for demanding row-crop applications where high power output and heavy implement management are required. Its robust build and PFC hydraulic system make it a reliable choice for professional agricultural environments.
