The Massey Ferguson 240 is a versatile utility tractor offered in both 2WD and 4WD configurations. It is powered by a Perkins AD3.152 three-cylinder diesel engine, providing a reliable 46 horsepower. Engine cooling is managed through a liquid system, and a hydrostatic power steering aids in handling. The transmission is a sliding gear type with 8 forward and 2 reverse gears. The chassis can be either a 4x2 2WD or 4x4 MFWD 4WD, depending on the model. With an operating weight ranging from 4,015 to 4,585 lbs and dimensions to match, it is designed to be sturdy yet maneuverable. This tractor was produced by Massey Ferguson in Coventry, England from 1980 to 1999 and can be equipped with either a two-post ROPS or an optional canopy. It features a three-point hitch and a PTO speed of 540 rpm, working alongside the tractor's open center hydraulic system. The braking system varies by version, initially coming with mechanical drum brakes and later models equipped with differential mechanical wet disc brakes.
