Massey Ferguson 4253 Tractor

The Massey Ferguson 4253 is a 2WD or 4WD utility tractor. This model was manufactured from 1997 to 1999. The Massey Ferguson 4253 tractor is powered by Perkins 1004.4T 4-cylinder direct injection turbocharged water-cooled diesel engine.

A 244 cubic inches (4 L) engine has a cylinder bore of 3.94" (100 mm), piston stroke of 5.00" (127 mm), max power of 95 hp (70.8 kW), and 374 Nm (276 lb-ft) of peak torque at 1500 rpm. The Massey Ferguson 4253 is fitted with three transmission options: 8x2 non-synchronized gear transmission, 12x4 partially synchronized transmission, and 12x12 synchronized shuttle transmission. The maximum travel speed (forward and reverse): 24.7 mph (39.7 kph) / 24.8 mph (39.8 kph).

The open center hydraulic system includes a gear pump with a flow of 10 gpm (37.8 lpm). The main relief pressure is 210 bar (3050 psi). The 2WD models are equipped with 7.5Lx15 front tyres and 18.4x30 rear tyres. The 420/70R28 front tyres and 18.4R38 rear tyres fit 4WD tractors. The wheelbase is 93" (2360 mm). The tractor is compatible with a Massey Ferguson 1036 loader with lift capacity to full height of 3755 lbs (1703 kg) and breakout force of 6900 lbs (3130 kg).
