Massey Ferguson 1800 Tractor Parts

Jump to Parts

The Massey Ferguson 1800 tractor, produced from 1973 to 1978, was a popular choice for farmers needing a reliable and versatile workhorse. Powered by a Perkins 318 cubic inch diesel engine producing approximately 80 horsepower, the MF 1800 provided ample power for a variety of farm tasks. Its robust build and a PTO horsepower rating of around 72 made it well-suited for demanding operations.

The Massey Ferguson 1800 was introduced in 1973 as part of the 1800 series, offering a balance of power and utility for mid-sized farming operations. Production continued through 1978. At its heart was a Perkins A6.318 diesel engine, a 318 cubic inch (5.2L) inline six-cylinder engine delivering approximately 80 engine horsepower. This diesel engine provided excellent fuel economy and torque. The transmission was typically a manual gearbox with options for multiple speeds, usually an 8-speed with high/low range. PTO horsepower was rated at around 72 hp at 540 RPM. The hydraulic system had a capacity of approximately 9.5 GPM, often with two remote valves. The 3-point hitch was a Category II hitch, providing a lift capacity of around 4,000 lbs. Common farming applications included row crop cultivation, hay baling and mowing, livestock feeding operations, and light to medium tillage. The MF 1800 distinguished itself from smaller Massey Ferguson models by offering more power and heavier-duty components, while remaining more compact and maneuverable than larger frame tractors. It bridged the gap between utility and row-crop tractors effectively.
