Last Updated: July 2024

Overview

The Massey Ferguson 360 is a utility tractor powered by a 3-cylinder, 153 cubic inch, turbocharged Perkins diesel engine producing 46.1 horsepower at 2,250 RPM. Key specifications have been updated based on the Nebraska Tractor Test Laboratory results, including engine displacement, rated RPM, maximum power output, torque values, torque rise percentage, fuel consumption rates, hydraulic system performance details, operating weight for the 2WD unladen model, and transmission gear speeds. Additional details on drawbar performance, sound levels, weight distribution, tire specifications, fuel efficiency under varying conditions, drawbar height, test location, atmospheric conditions, fuel/oil data, tread widths, wheelbase, and fuel type have been added. The hitch category has been updated to Category I based on the test results.
