View Full Test Data →

Overview

The Massey Ferguson 4270 is a 110 hp utility tractor manufactured in Coventry, England, between 1997 and 2001. It is powered by a turbocharged 6.0L Perkins six-cylinder diesel engine and was available in both two-wheel and four-wheel drive configurations. Performance testing via OCED Test 1715 recorded a maximum PTO output of 101.5 hp and a maximum drawbar pull of 9,330 lbs.

Ideal Applications

Tested Performance and Output: OCED Tractor Test 1715 documented a maximum PTO power of 101.5 hp and a maximum drawbar pull of 9,330 lbs while utilizing a turbocharged Perkins 1006.60T engine.

Transmission and Drivetrain Configuration: The 4270 offered multiple transmission options including a 12-speed power shuttle, a 24-speed power shuttle with power shift, and an 18-speed two-speed power shift, all featuring outboard planetary final drives.

Hydraulic System and Lift Capacity: Equipped with an open-center hydraulic system providing 17.4 gpm of pump flow at 3046 psi, the tractor supports a Category II rear hitch with a maximum lift capacity of 7,958 lbs on cab-equipped models.
