Massey Ferguson 50HX Backhoe Loader

The Massey Ferguson 50HX backhoe loader was manufactured between 1987 and 1997. The Massey Ferguson 50HX is fitted with a Perkins A4.248 four-stroke 4-cylinder liquid-cooled diesel engine rated at 77 hp (57.5 kW), and 4x4 power shuttle transmission with torque converter.

The maximum travel speed (forward or reverse): 17.6 mph (28.3 kph). The open center hydraulic system used a piston pump with fluid flow rate of 29.5 gal/min (111.6 l/min). The 2WD models are equipped with 11Lx16 front tires and 16.9x28 rear tires.

The 14.0x17.5 front tires and 19.5Lx24 rear tires are used for 4WD models. The wheelbase is 85.9" (2180 mm) for models with 2-wheel drive, or 85.7" (2170 mm) for models with 4-wheel drive.

The loader has a maximum lift height of 165.5" (4200 mm) at pin and bucket dump clearance of 108" (2740 mm). The lift capacity is 6017 lbs (2730 kg) at maximum height (bucket pin), and breakout force (bucket on ground) is 8838 lbs (4010 kg). The raising time is 4 sec from ground line to full height, and bucket dumping time is 1 sec. The loader is compatible with a 88" (2230 mm) bucket.

The MF 450 extendable backhoe operational data includes a bucket digging force of 10756 lbs (4880 kg), and dipperstick digging force of 7604 lbs (3450 kg). The max digging depth is 228" (5770 mm), and overall reach from swing pivot is 269.4" (6840 mm) at ground line. The backhoe is equipped with 16", 18", 24", 30" and 36" buckets.
