3235 parts and accessories
The Massey Ferguson 3235 was a popular utility tractor produced in the late 1990s and early 2000s. Powered by a robust diesel engine delivering around 40 horsepower and approximately 34 PTO horsepower, the 3235 gained favor among farmers for its versatility and reliability in various farm tasks. Its compact size and efficient design made it well-suited for smaller acreages and diverse farming operations.
The Massey Ferguson 3235 was introduced as part of the 3200 series, aiming to provide a reliable and versatile utility tractor for a wide range of farming applications. Production spanned from the late 1990s into the early 2000s. The heart of the MF 3235 is a Shibaura N844L diesel engine, a 39 HP naturally aspirated four-cylinder with a 135.2 cu in (2.2 L) displacement. This reliable diesel provided ample power for its size. It featured a mechanical transmission, typically an 8-speed forward and 2-speed reverse gearbox, offering a range of speeds suitable for different tasks. The PTO delivered approximately 34 HP and operated at 540 RPM. Hydraulics provided a flow rate of around 7.1 GPM, powering implements and the power steering. The 3-point hitch was a Category I, providing a lift capacity of approximately 2200 lbs. Common applications included hay baling, light tillage, livestock feeding, and general farm maintenance. Distinguishing it from other models in the Massey Ferguson lineup, the 3235 offered a balance of power, size, and affordability, making it an attractive option for smaller farms and as a secondary tractor on larger operations.
