Massey Ferguson 40B Backhoe Loader

The Massey Ferguson 40B is a two-wheel drive backhoe loader. The MF 40B is powered by Perkins D4.203 four-cylinder liquid-cooled diesel engine with a rated power of 59 Hp (44 kW) and 162 Nm (120 lb-ft) of peak torque at 1200 rpm.

The Massey Ferguson 40B was fitted with two types of transmission. Type 1: 4x4 power shuttle transmission with torque converter. 2nd type: manual shuttle transmission with 6 forward and 6 reverse gears. The maximum forward speed - 20.5 mph (33 km/h), max. reverse speed - 19.5 mph (31.2 km/h). The open center hydraulic system used a gear pump with fluid flow rate of 26 gpm (98.5 lpm).

The hydraulic system pressure is 172.5 bar (2500 psi). The front end loader has a lifting capacity (at pivot pin) of 3300 lbs (1495 kg) to maximum height of 125" (3170 mm), and bucket's breakout force of 5500 lbs (2495 kg). The bucket dump clearance is 103" (2610 mm) at maximum dump angle of 48 degrees. The rated cycle times are 3 seconds lifting to maximum height, and 1.5 seconds to full bucket dump. The 79" standard material bucket has a heaped capacity of 0.75 cu.yd (0.60 cu.m).

The backhoe operational data includes a bucket dig force of 9985 lbs (4530 kg), and dipperstick digging force of 6300 lbs (2855 kg). The maximum digging depth is 175" (4440 mm), and reach from swing pivot of 212" (5380 mm) at ground line. The backhoe is compatible with 16", 18", 24", and 30" buckets.
