Introduction
Massey Ferguson 8470 Tractor
The Massey Ferguson 8470 is a high-horsepower row-crop tractor produced between 2004 and 2007 at the manufacturing facility in Germany. Part of the 8460 and 8480 series, this machine is designed for heavy-duty agricultural applications requiring significant power and operational flexibility.
Engine and Performance
The tractor is powered by a Sisu 6-cylinder, 8.4-liter turbocharged and intercooled diesel engine. It delivers 260 hp (193.9 kW) at a rated speed of 2200 RPM. The engine features a 17.5:1 compression ratio and a bore/stroke of 111 x 145 mm, supported by a dual-element paper air cleaner system to ensure longevity in dusty field conditions.
Transmission Systems
The 8470 offers two primary transmission options to suit different operational needs. The Dyna-Step transmission is a power shift unit providing 42 forward and 36 reverse speeds across two ranges. Alternatively, the Dyna-VT transmission provides a continuously variable (CVT) experience, allowing for infinite speed adjustment without traditional gear shifting.
Hydraulics and Hitch
Equipped with a closed-center PFC hydraulic system, the tractor provides a total flow of 39 gpm (147.6 lpm) at a system pressure of 2900 psi (200 bar). It features 4 or 5 remote valves and a Category III rear hitch, capable of lifting 14,400 lbs (6,531 kg) at 24 inches behind the lift point.
Mechanical and Operator Environment
The tractor utilizes a four-wheel drive system for improved traction. Steering is managed by a hydrostatic power system, while braking is handled by independent hydraulic wet disc brakes. The machine comes standard with an air-conditioned cab, ensuring operator comfort during extended field operations.
Conclusion
With its robust Sisu engine, versatile transmission options, and substantial hydraulic capacity, the Massey Ferguson 8470 is engineered for demanding row-crop farming tasks. Its combination of power, German-built reliability, and operator-focused features makes it a capable choice for large-scale agricultural operations.
