Massey Ferguson 3235 – Specifications and Overview
The Massey Ferguson 3235 is a powerful and compact orchard and vineyard tractor designed for agricultural operations where maneuverability and reliability are essential. Manufactured between 1999 and 2001, the 3235 belongs to the Massey Ferguson 3200 Series, a lineup known for durability and efficient diesel performance.
Equipped with a Perkins 4.2-liter four-cylinder diesel engine, the tractor delivers approximately 80 horsepower (59.7 kW). This engine provides strong torque and fuel efficiency, making the tractor suitable for orchard management, vineyard operations, spraying, mowing, and transport tasks.
The model features two- or four-wheel drive configurations, hydraulic wet disc brakes, and a partially synchronized transmission system. In addition, operators benefit from power steering, a folding ROPS safety structure, and optional cab configurations with air conditioning for increased comfort during long working hours.
Because of its compact design and strong lifting capacity, the MF 3235 is particularly well suited for narrow field conditions and specialized crop production environments.
