Massey Ferguson 265

Last Updated: June 2024

Overview

The Massey Ferguson 265 is a versatile tractor that was produced by Massey Ferguson between 1975 and 1983. It was designed to serve a wide range of agricultural tasks, from field work to harvesting, and available in standard, row-crop, and low-profile variants. Equipped with either a Perkins AG4.236 or A4.236 engine, the 265 was available with a choice of gasoline or diesel engines, both natural-aspirated and considering the era, most likely featuring an OHV valve configuration. The tractor offered two transmission options; an 8-speed gear shift and a 12-speed Multi-Power partial power shift. It features a 4x2 2WD chassis with either manual or power-assisted steering. This model also came with a three-point hitch, with a significant lifting capacity at the link end of 4,100 lbs, suitable for a variety of implements. The functionality of the Massey Ferguson 265 is complemented by a choice of tire options for various agricultural applications and a standard open operator station with the option for a cab or ROPS for safety.
