Massey Ferguson 4840

The Massey Ferguson 4840 is a sturdy, high horsepower tractor that was part of the 4000 series manufactured between 1978 and 1983. It is designed for heavy-duty farm work with its powerful 265 hp Cummins V-903 diesel engine and 903 cubic inch displacement. Its operation is made convenient with an 18-speed partial power shift transmission, which includes a wet disc clutch. The tractor boasts an articulated hydrostatic power steering system, adding to its maneuverability despite its significant size with a length of 252 inches and a width of 108 inches. The cooling is managed by a liquid-cooled system with a 60 quart capacity. It has matching front and rear tires at 34 inches in diameter and rides on a significant 137-inch wheelbase, supporting a large operating weight of 30,920 lbs when equipped with 23.1-34 duals. Although quite capable, the detailed specifications regarding the hitch type and hydraulic systems reflect the tractor's age as it supports the then common Category IV hitch and an open center hydraulic system. With a robust front and rear axle diameter at 4 inches, the MF 4840 was built to sustain demanding farm tasks.
