Overview

The Massey Ferguson 3070 is a versatile row-crop farm tractor produced between 1986 and 1992, featuring a turbocharged Perkins 3.9L 4-cylinder diesel engine. Available in both 2WD and 4WD configurations, it offers a standard air-conditioned cab and a high-capacity rear lift system capable of handling up to 10,617 lbs at the ends.

Ideal Applications

Row-Crop Operations: With adjustable front and rear tread widths and specialized row-crop design, this tractor is well-suited for navigating between planted rows for maintenance and cultivation.

Heavy Lifting and Loading: The Category II rear hitch with draft sensing and a high lift capacity of 6,900 lbs at 24 inches, combined with compatibility for a front-end loader, makes it effective for material handling.

Variable Field Work: Equipped with a SpeedShift transmission offering up to 32 forward and reverse gears and a dual-speed independent PTO (540/1000 RPM), the tractor provides precise control for diverse implements.
