Massey Ferguson 397T Tractor Parts

The Massey Ferguson 397T was introduced in the mid-1990s as part of the 300 series tractor line, offering a blend of power and reliability for diverse farming applications. Production ran until the early 2000s. At its heart lies a Perkins 1004.4T four-cylinder turbocharged diesel engine, producing approximately 82 horsepower. This engine delivers power efficiently and reliably. Engine displacement is 4.0L (244 cu in). The transmission is a mechanical synchroshift transmission with multiple speed options, providing good control in various field conditions. PTO horsepower is approximately 70 HP, with a standard 540 RPM PTO. The hydraulic system offers a flow rate of around 11 GPM, typically with two remote valves for implement operation. The three-point hitch is a Category II, offering a lift capacity around 5,291 lbs. Common applications for the 397T included hay baling, plowing, disking, planting row crops, and powering various implements for livestock operations. Compared to other models in the Massey Ferguson lineup, the 397T struck a balance between power and maneuverability, making it suitable for a wide range of farm sizes and tasks. Its turbocharged engine gave it an edge over naturally aspirated models in terms of power and efficiency.
