It’s mind-numbing, back-breaking work. Loading bales. Working crops. Tilling, mowing, raking, baling and
the list goes on. It’ll grind you to the bone - and take an average tractor down hard. But Massey Ferguson
4200 Series tractors deliver unmatched -performance, durability and comfort to keep you going long after
others give out. The long-stroke Perkins Fastram™ diesel cranks outhigh torque, even when RPMs drop.
Powertrains range from manual shift to high-outputPowerShuttle. Dual-system hydraulics, a beefy linkage
and new lift geometry generate optimum lift. Even the hydraulic filter never quits - just wipe it clean every
1,000 hours and keep on going. And touches like an adjustable spring-suspension seat, adjustable tilt
steering and more mean you’ll last as long as your Massey Ferguson 4200.
