Popular Massey Ferguson models in India
TAFE manufactures Massey Ferguson tractors engineered specifically for Indian soil conditions.
Key tractor models:
- MF 1035 DI (36 to 39 HP): One of India's most popular 3-cylinder tractors, renowned for low diesel consumption in agricultural tillage and rural transport.
- MF 241 DI Maha Shakti (42 HP): A versatile medium-power tractor featuring high torque backup, dual clutch, and multi-speed PTO for rotavator work.
- MF 245 DI and 7250 Power Up (46 to 50 HP): Engineered for commercial haulage, multi-crop threshers, and heavy disc harrows.
- 4WD and Orchard Series: Compact track tractors (MF 28 HP and 30 HP) designed for fruit orchards and wet paddy puddling.
The Ferguson system and hydraulic efficiency
Massey Ferguson's engineering advantage centers on its precision draft control system.
Mechanical hallmarks:
- Ferguson 3-Point Linkage: Automatic draft and position control that dynamically transfers implement weight to the tractor's rear wheels, increasing traction and cutting wheel slip.
- Simpson Diesel Engines: Fuel-efficient direct injection engines providing high torque at low RPMs for prolonged operational life.
- Transmission options: Comfimesh and sliding mesh gearboxes with side-shift levers for fatigue-free gear shifting.
Maintenance routines and SMAM purchase subsidy
Regularly service fuel injection pumps, change engine and transmission lubricants at recommended intervals, and inspect tie-rod ends. Eligible farmers can avail capital subsidies under the Sub-Mission on Agricultural Mechanization (SMAM) through agrimachinery.nic.in.
