Last Updated: July 2024

Overview

The Massey Ferguson 3070 is a row-crop tractor powered by a turbocharged 4-cylinder Perkins AT4.236 diesel engine with a displacement of 236 cubic inches. The engine is liquid-cooled and features an oil cooler heat exchanger for crankcase oil cooling. It produces a rated power of 82.2 HP at 2200 RPM and a maximum torque of 241 lb-ft at 1318 RPM with a 22.8% torque rise. The tractor is equipped with a fully synchronized transmission with 32 forward and 8 reverse gears, totaling 40 gears. It has a 2WD chassis with power steering. Independent test results show strong drawbar performance, with a maximum drawbar pull of 7,060 lbs at rated speed. The hydraulic system is an open-center type, capable of exerting up to 6,790 lbs of force with a pump delivery rate of 13.5 GPM. Fuel consumption figures and sound levels under various operating conditions are also provided. The tractor's dimensions, including height, length, and width, are specified, along with unladen operating weights for 2WD and 4WD configurations.
