Overview

The Massey Ferguson 6170 is a row-crop tractor manufactured by Massey Ferguson S.A. in France from 1995 until 1998. It is equipped with a 4x2 2WD chassis and powered by a liquid-cooled Perkins 1006-6 diesel engine with six cylinders and a displacement of 365 cubic inches, capable of delivering a maximum power output of 101.8 horsepower at 2000 rpm (PTO speed 1000 rpm). The engine operates at a rated RPM of 2200 with a coolant capacity of 26.4 quarts. It features a synchronized transmission coupled with a four-speed power shift feature, offering a total of 32 forward and reverse gears. The 6170 model presents a wheelbase of 106 inches, with an operating weight of 11,153 pounds for its 2WD version. Power steering is standard for easier maneuverability. Dimensions include a length of 178 inches, a width of 76 inches, and a cab height of 109 inches. Additional specifications include a maximum torque of 299.8 lb.-ft. at 1255 rpm with a torque rise of 28.7%, a hydraulic flow rate of 13.3 GPM at minimum pressure and 12.7 GPM at maximum hydraulic power, delivering 18.4 HP at 2480 psi. Sound levels were measured at 75.5 dB(A) for the operator's ear level at 75% load in 15th gear, and 89.0 dB(A) for the bystander sound level in 32nd gear. Drawbar performance was rated at 88.5 HP with a 5690 lbs pull at 5.83 mph in 14th gear. Detailed three-point hitch performance specifications are also available from independent test results.
