Massey Ferguson 6280 Tractor Parts
6280 parts and accessories
The Massey Ferguson 6280, manufactured from 1999 to 2003, was a popular choice for farmers needing a reliable and versatile tractor. Powered by a Perkins 1004.40T 100 HP diesel engine, it offered ample power for various farming tasks. Its independent 540/1000 RPM PTO and robust hydraulics made it well-suited for operating a wide range of implements.
The Massey Ferguson 6280 was part of the 6200 series, introduced in the late 1990s and produced until the early 2000s. It quickly gained a reputation for its robust build quality and operator comfort. The engine is a Perkins 1004.40T, a 4.0L (244 cu in) four-cylinder turbocharged diesel engine producing approximately 100 horsepower. This engine was known for its reliability and fuel efficiency. The 6280 was available with either a 12-speed partial powershift transmission called Speedshift or a 32 speed Dynashift transmission offering more gears and programmable features for efficiency. The independent PTO provided both 540 and 1000 RPM options, crucial for running diverse implements. Its hydraulic system delivered around 15.1 GPM (57.2 L/min) flow, powering multiple remote valves and a Category II 3-point hitch with a lift capacity of around 8,157 lbs. Farmers used the 6280 for various applications, including hay production (mowing, baling), livestock operations (feeding, manure spreading), and light tillage work. Compared to smaller models in the 6200 series, the 6280 offered more power and hydraulic capacity, while remaining more compact and maneuverable than larger, higher-horsepower tractors.
