Overview

The Massey Ferguson 563 is a utility tractor that was manufactured by Massey Ferguson from 2006 to 2008. With a 2WD chassis and power steering, this tractor provides a comfortable and efficient operation for various tasks. The gearbox is an 8-speed gear transmission system, also including a shuttle, allowing for smooth control over the tractor's considerable power. The heart of the Massey Ferguson 563 is a 3-cylinder Perkins 1103C-33T turbocharged diesel engine, ensuring reliable performance with a gross power output of 64 hp and a rated RPM of 2200. Liquid cooling ensures the engine operates efficiently, and an engine oil capacity of 7.2 quarts suggests ease of maintenance.

It features standard agricultural tires, but specific sizes for the front and rear are not provided. Its hitch is capable of lifting up to 2711 pounds at 24 inches, categorized as Cat I & II, affording solid performance for a range of implements. Despite its specifications outlining a robust and practical workhorse, the tractor lacks details on its PTO and brake system, which are relevant for prospective owners.
