Massey Ferguson 245 DI: Horsepower, Features & Subsidy

Engine power, transmission and planetary drive

The MF 245 DI is engineered for heavy agricultural pulling power and fuel efficiency.

Key mechanical specifications:

• Engine: Simpson S325 3-cylinder, 2,700 cc direct-injection diesel engine delivering 46 HP at a rated 1,790 engine RPM.
• Planetary reduction rear axle: Rear planetary drive system distributes wheel torque evenly, minimizing transmission wear and preventing axle breakage during heavy pulling.
• Transmission: Dual-clutch partial constant mesh gearbox featuring 8 forward and 2 reverse speeds with side-shift gear lever.
• Braking: Fitted with sealed oil-immersed multi-disc brakes (OIB) for reliable stopping power and long brake life.

Hydraulics and implement capability

The tractor's Ferguson hydraulic system delivers smooth implement handling.

Operational capabilities:

• Hydraulic lift capacity: Heavy-duty 1,700 kg lift capacity at hitch points with category-II 3-point linkage.
• Draft control: Dynamic Ferguson draft sensing that automatically modulates implement working depth to maintain steady forward speed and reduce tire slip.
• PTO power: 540 PTO RPM running at 1,789 engine RPM; smoothly operates 6-foot rotavators, multi-crop threshers, round balers, and post-hole diggers.

Maintenance routines and SMAM government subsidy

Regularly replace engine lubricants and diesel filters, clean the dry air cleaner element in dusty harvesting seasons, and inspect hydraulic fluid levels. Farmers can apply for capital purchase subsidies under the Sub-Mission on Agricultural Mechanization (SMAM) at agrimachinery.nic.in.
