The Massey Ferguson 6490 is a powerful row crop tractor built from 2004 to 2012. It has a 2WD chassis with power steering, making it easy to handle in the fields. The tractor is powered by a Sisu diesel engine with 6 cylinders and 180.4 hp, which is above average for its class. This engine is turbocharged and intercooled, giving it extra power when needed.
The 6490 has a versatile transmission with 24 forward and 24 reverse gears. This allows farmers to choose the right speed for any job. The tractor's hydraulic system can pump 30.5 gallons of fluid per minute, which is good for running attachments. It has a very strong hitch that can lift up to 14,905 pounds, one of the highest in its category. The tractor also has two PTO speeds, 540 and 1000 rpm, for different tools. At 16,305 pounds, it's a heavy-duty machine built to handle tough tasks. The 6490's size (198 inches long, 120 inches wide, and 98.2 inches tall) makes it suitable for various farm operations.
