Binding Type Binding Type: N/A (Digital Format) Paper Type Paper Type: N/A (Digital Format) ⚙️ Engine Specifications Primary Engine Engine Family: Massey Ferguson's own Perkins (often 4-cylinder and 6-cylinder diesel engines, such as the Perkins 1000 series or similar) Performance Horsepower Range: Typically ranging from approximately 70 HP to 130 HP across the series, depending on the specific model and engine configuration. Torque Specifications: Specific torque figures vary by engine variant but are optimized for agricultural applications, providing strong low-end pull. Fuel System Fuel System Type: Direct injection diesel fuel system, often with rotary or inline injection pumps (e.g., Bosch or Lucas/CAV). Fuel Type: Diesel Fuel Cooling System Cooling System: Liquid-cooled, pressurized system with a radiator, fan, water pump, and thermostat. 🔧 Transmission Standard Standard Transmission: Various options depending on the specific model within the 6100 series, commonly including 12x12 or 16x16 synchronised shuttle shift transmissions, or 24x24 with a 2-speed powershift. Optional Optional Transmission: Some higher-spec models might have offered 4-speed powershift (e.g., Dyna-Shift or similar transmissions) for on-the-go gear changes. Features Transmission Features: Powershift capability (on certain models) for improved operator comfort and efficiency, synchronised gears for smooth shifting, and potentially a creeper gear option for very low speeds. Fluid Specifications Transmission Fluid: Typically Massey Ferguson recommended UTTO (Universal Tractor Transmission Oil) or equivalent, such as John Deere Hy-Gard or Case IH TCH fluid. Specific viscosity grade (e.g., 80W-90 or 10W-30 depending on application and temperature). 📐 Dimensions Exterior Overall Length: Varies by model, generally in the range of 4-5 meters. Wheelbase: Typically around 2.4 - 2.6 meters, contributing to stability. Weights Operating Weight: Ranges from approximately 4,000 kg to 6,000 kg, depending on configuration (2WD/4WD, cab, loader attachments). 🛡️ Safety Features Ratings Rollover Protection: ROPS (Roll Over Protective Structure) typically standard, often integrated into the cab structure or as a foldable frame for non-cabbed models.
