Last Updated: July 2024

Overview

The Massey Ferguson 6499 is a row-crop tractor manufactured by AGCO S.A. in France. It features a robust 4x4 MFWD 4WD chassis and a selective gear fixed ratio transmission with partial powershift. The tractor is powered by a Sisu Diesel 74 CTA turbocharged 6-cylinder engine with a displacement of 449 cubic inches and a compression ratio of 17.5:1. It produces a maximum power output of 216.2 hp at 2000 rpm and 651.8 lb-ft of torque at 1450 rpm. The engine utilizes a liquid cooling system with a coolant heat exchanger for crankcase oil and a radiator for hydraulic and transmission oil. Detailed independent test results are available, including drawbar performance, PTO speeds and power, hydraulic flow rates, tire specifications, and chassis weight data. The tractor's dimensions and operating weight remain consistent with the original specifications.
