Last Updated: July 2024

Overview

The Massey Ferguson 7499 is a tractor model produced by Massey Ferguson from 2009 to 2012, featuring an AGCO Sisu Power 74 CTA six-cylinder, 24-valve, turbocharged, air-to-air intercooled diesel engine with a liquid-cooling system. This engine has a displacement of 449 ci (7.4 L) and provides a rated power of 196.63 hp at 2200 rpm, with the capability to reach a maximum power output of 217.30 hp for 1 hour. It operates with an electric starter system and is equipped with a Dyna-VT continuously variable transmission (CVT) with infinite forward and reverse (two-range) gear options. The tractor has a wheelbase of 118 inches, with rear tread widths ranging from 60.6" to 119.9" and front tread widths from 60.9" to 88.8". The overall operating weight with an operator is 17860 lbs. The tractor features a closed-center hydraulic system with detailed delivery rates, pressures, and lift capacities provided in the test results. It has a Category 3 rear hitch with comprehensive hitch point dimensions. The tractor uses AGCO Power Fluid 821 XL fluid for transmission and hydraulics, and AGCO Gear Lube 715 SAE 80W90 for the front axle. It has an air cleaner with two paper elements and an aspirator, and an oil filter as one full flow cartridge. The steering is hydrostatic, and the brakes are wet multiple disc hydraulically actuated by two foot pedals. Detailed fuel consumption, efficiency figures, and various other operational parameters are provided in the test results.
