Massey Ferguson 296 Tractor Parts

The Massey Ferguson 296 was introduced in the late 1980s and remained in production until the early 1990s, solidifying its place as a versatile workhorse. Under the hood sits a Perkins A4.248 diesel engine, delivering approximately 80 engine horsepower. This engine, with a displacement of 248 cubic inches, provided ample power for numerous agricultural applications. The transmission is a manual gear type, typically offering 8 forward and 2 reverse speeds, providing the operator with a good range of choices for different tasks. The PTO delivers around 70 horsepower, available in both 540 and 1000 RPM configurations, catering to a wide array of implements. The hydraulic system provides around 11 GPM of flow to power the implement hydraulics, and included around 2 remotes. Featuring a Category II three-point hitch with a lift capacity of approximately 4,400 lbs, the MF 296 proved capable in row crop work, hay production, and general livestock operations. Compared to smaller models, it offered more power and lift capacity, while remaining more economical and easier to maneuver than larger tractors.
