Massey Ferguson 2800 Overview
The Massey Ferguson 2800 is a powerful row-crop tractor produced between 1976 and 1977 as part of the well-known Massey Ferguson 2000 Series. Designed for large-scale agricultural operations, this tractor delivered impressive horsepower and durability for demanding field work.
Equipped with a Perkins 10.5-liter V8 diesel engine, the MF 2800 produces approximately 190 horsepower at the PTO, making it one of the most powerful tractors available during its time. This strong engine combined with a robust drivetrain allowed farmers to operate heavy tillage equipment, large plows, and other high-demand implements efficiently.
The tractor was available with a 24-speed 3-speed power shift transmission or a simple 8-speed mechanical shuttle transmission, giving operators flexibility depending on their working conditions.
With features such as hydrostatic power steering, hydraulic disc brakes, differential lock, and a comfortable cab, the Massey Ferguson 2800 offered both power and operator comfort. Even decades later, it remains a respected classic tractor among collectors and farmers who value reliable heavy-duty machinery.
EVERY FARM TRACTOR exports quality used tractors and agricultural machinery from Japan to customers in over 100 countries worldwide, helping farmers access reliable equipment for their agricultural operations.
