The Massey Ferguson 271 was part of the popular 200 series, produced between 1987 and 1991. This tractor was designed to provide a balance of power and affordability for medium-sized farms. It featured a Perkins 4.236 diesel engine, a naturally aspirated, inline four-cylinder engine with a displacement of 236 cubic inches (3.9L). This engine delivered approximately 62 horsepower. The transmission was typically an 8-speed manual gear transmission, offering a range of speeds for various field operations. The PTO delivered around 55 horsepower at 540 RPM. The hydraulic system had a capacity of around 8.5 GPM powering two remote valves, and the 3-point hitch was a Category II, capable of lifting approximately 3200 lbs.
