Massey Ferguson 2705 Tractor Parts
2705 parts and accessories
The Massey Ferguson 2705, manufactured from 1981 to 1986, was a popular workhorse known for its reliability and power. Powered by a Perkins 4.248 diesel engine producing around 70 horsepower, it delivered ample power for various farm tasks. Its robust PTO, rated at approximately 63 horsepower, made it a valuable asset for operating implements like mowers and balers.
The Massey Ferguson 2705 was introduced in 1981 as part of the updated 2700 series, building upon the legacy of Massey Ferguson's dependable tractors. Production continued through 1986. At its heart lies the Perkins 4.248 diesel engine, a 4.1-liter (248 cubic inch) inline four-cylinder engine producing around 70 engine horsepower. This diesel engine was chosen for its fuel efficiency and torque. The tractor typically featured a mechanical 8-speed transmission with a dual-range option, offering a good range of speeds for diverse field operations. The PTO delivered approximately 63 horsepower at 540 RPM, suitable for powering a wide array of implements. The hydraulic system had a capacity of around 11 GPM, providing sufficient flow for operating remote cylinders and the three-point hitch. The three-point hitch was a Category II, offering a lift capacity of around 4,000 lbs. Farmers often used the 2705 for row crop work, hay production, general livestock farming tasks, and light to medium tillage. It distinguished itself through a balance of power, simplicity, and affordability, making it a widely adopted tractor in its era. Its slightly larger size and more powerful engine set it apart from the smaller models in the MF lineup, while remaining more economical than the larger frame tractors.
