Massey Ferguson 4880 Tractor Parts
4880 parts and accessories
The Massey Ferguson 4880, manufactured from 1981 to 1984, was a powerful articulated 4WD tractor popular for its robust design and high horsepower. Powered by a Cummins NTA-855-A diesel engine producing around 300 horsepower, the 4880 offered a substantial 235 PTO horsepower, making it well-suited for demanding tillage and heavy drawbar applications. Farmers appreciated its reliability and ability to handle large implements efficiently.
The Massey Ferguson 4880 was introduced in 1981 as part of Massey Ferguson's line of high-horsepower articulated 4WD tractors. Production continued through 1984. It features a Cummins NTA-855-A six-cylinder diesel engine, delivering approximately 300 horsepower with a displacement of 855 cubic inches (14.0 L). This engine provided ample power for heavy-duty field work. The transmission is a robust 12-speed manual transmission, allowing for precise speed control across various field conditions. The PTO delivers 235 horsepower, available in both 540 and 1000 RPM configurations, providing versatility for different implements. Hydraulic capacity is approximately 42 GPM, providing sufficient flow for operating large hydraulic cylinders. The 3-point hitch is a Category III, capable of lifting heavy implements. The 4880 was primarily used for tillage operations, large-scale row crop farming, and other applications requiring substantial power. Compared to smaller Massey Ferguson models, the 4880 offered significantly increased horsepower and drawbar pull, catering to larger farms and more demanding tasks. Its articulated steering provided enhanced maneuverability compared to rigid-frame tractors of similar horsepower.

Maintenance Tips
- Engine Oil & Filter: Change engine oil and filter every 250 hours of operation using a high-quality diesel engine oil that meets or exceeds the manufacturer's specifications.
- Hydraulic System: Inspect hydraulic fluid levels regularly and change the hydraulic filter every 500 hours. Use only approved hydraulic fluid to prevent damage to the hydraulic system components.
- Fuel System: Drain the fuel tank annually to remove any accumulated water and sediment. Replace the fuel filter every 250 hours to maintain optimal engine performance and prevent fuel system issues.
- Seasonal Storage: Before storing the tractor for an extended period, fill the fuel tank to prevent condensation, lubricate all grease fittings, and disconnect the battery to prevent discharge. Consider using fuel stabilizer.
