New tractors
Massey Ferguson has added to its 200 series line of tractors.
The MF 271 rates 57 horsepower in its p.t.o. and is a two-wheel drive. The MF 281’s p.t.o. rates 66 h.p. and comes in two- or four-wheel drive. The four-wheel drive can be engaged on the go.
A Perkins four-cylinder diesel engine supplies the power.
A manual transmission with eight forward and two reverse gears is standard.
A dual stage foot clutch controls the transmission and the p.t.o. The speed of the p.t.o. is achieved at 1,789 engine r.p.m., allowing the engine to run at a higher torque rating under full load to help prevent lug down and the need to change ground speed.
