Massey Ferguson 6490 Tractor Parts

The Massey Ferguson 6490 was introduced in 2003 as part of the 6400 series, replacing earlier models and offering enhanced features and performance. Production continued through 2007. Under the hood lies a Perkins 1106-6 (6.0L) 6-cylinder turbocharged diesel engine, producing approximately 120 engine horsepower. This engine provides ample power for demanding tasks while maintaining good fuel efficiency. The transmission options typically included a DynaShift transmission offering multiple gears for precise speed control, providing something akin to a powershift. The 6490's PTO delivers around 105 horsepower, available in both 540 and 1000 RPM configurations, allowing it to operate a wide range of implements. Its hydraulic system boasts a flow rate of around 29 GPM, and is equipped with multiple remote valves for operating hydraulic cylinders on implements. The three-point hitch is a Category II, offering a lift capacity around 8,800 lbs, easily handling heavy tillage equipment and planters. The 6490's versatility made it suitable for row crop operations, hay production, livestock management, and various tillage applications. Its power and hydraulic capacity distinguished it from smaller models in the Massey Ferguson lineup, while its compact size made it more maneuverable than larger frame tractors.
