Massey Ferguson 241 DI: Specs, Buying Checklist & Subsidy

Engine specifications and transmission engineering

The MF 241 DI is engineered to balance heavy field pull with fuel economy.

Key mechanical specifications:

• Engine: Simpson S325.1 3-cylinder, 2,500 cc direct-injection diesel engine generating 42 HP at an economical rated 2,250 RPM.
• Torque backup: High torque reserve prevents engine stalling when navigating heavy clay patches or overloaded transport trailers.
• Transmission options: Sliding mesh or dual-clutch partial constant mesh gearbox with 8 forward + 2 reverse gears.
• Braking system: Available with sealed dry disc brakes or modern oil-immersed multi-disc brakes (OIB) for superior stopping grip and prolonged brake life.

Ferguson hydraulics and implement compatibility

The tractor is built around TAFE's signature hydraulic draft control.

Hydraulic and operational traits:

• Hydraulic lift capacity: Robust 1,700 kg lifting capacity with category-II 3-point linkage.
• Ferguson system: High-precision automatic depth and draft control (ADDC) senses soil resistance dynamically, maintaining constant implement depth and reducing wheel slippage.
• PTO capability: Standard 540 RPM PTO running at 1,789 engine RPM; easily powers 5 to 6-foot rotavators, multi-crop threshers, and alternator water pumps.

Buying checklist, financing and SMAM government subsidy

When purchasing, verify warranty coverage, battery make, tire brands, and RTO registration documentation at authorized TAFE dealerships. Eligible small and marginal farmers can avail capital purchase subsidies under the Sub-Mission on Agricultural Mechanization (SMAM) through agrimachinery.nic.in.
