Tractor Engines Have Quadrant Power
DES MOINES, lowa Mas
sey-Ferguson has introduced three
tractors in the 100-horsepower
and-over category, featuring the
Perkins 1000 Series engine with
Quadrum power for improved fuel
economy, increased torque, longer
life, and quieter operation.
The M-F 3120 tractor at 100
PTO horsepower has a naturally
aspirated engine. The M-F 3140 at
115 PTO horsepower has a turbo
charged engine. The M-F 3660 at
140 PTO horsepower has a waste
gate turbocharged engine.
The new Perkins 1000 Series
engine with Quadrant Power fea
tures a new design combustion
chamber that achieves more com
plete air/fuel mixing for economi
cal, powerful, and cleaner com
bustion.
The design of the piston head is
a major breakthrough in farm en
gine technology. Four lobes or in
dentations in the piston head cre
ate an improved rate of swirl for
improved air/fuel mixing. The de
sign of the piston head gives rise
to the Quadrant Quad meaning
four and RAM for Rapid Air
Movement.
The Quadrant-powered engine
bums a higher proportion of the
fuel in the engine power stroke,
resulting in less mechanical stress
on block, piston, connecting rods,
crankshaft, and head gaskets, it is
also much quieter and has improv
ed fuel efficiency.
Other advanced design features
include a gear-driven water pump,
a helically cut gear train for pre
cise timing of fuel pump and cam
shaft, and an integral oil cooler.
All three tractors will be avail-
