Massey Ferguson 1260 Tractor Parts

The Massey Ferguson 1260 was introduced in 1997 and remained in production until 2001, filling a crucial spot in Massey Ferguson's utility tractor lineup. It's powered by a Shibaura N844L naturally aspirated, 4-cylinder diesel engine producing 33 horsepower and a displacement of 84.4 cubic inches (1.4 liters). The engine's reliable performance made it a favorite among users. The transmission is a gear-type transmission, offering 9 forward and 3 reverse speeds, allowing for precise speed control in various field conditions. The PTO delivers 27 horsepower at the standard 540 RPM, suitable for operating rotary cutters, tillers, and other implements. Hydraulics provide a flow rate of approximately 6.3 GPM, powering the 3-point hitch, which is a Category I, capable of lifting around 1433 lbs. The 1260 excels in applications like haying, light tillage, livestock management, and general farm maintenance. Compared to larger Massey Ferguson models, the 1260 offers a more compact footprint and lower operating costs, making it ideal for smaller acreage farms and specialized tasks. It was often chosen as a reliable alternative to much larger tractors.
