Massey Ferguson 231

Review

The Massey Ferguson 231 compact utility tractor is a very popular MF model from the late 1980s and early 1990s. It enjoyed a long and successful production run from 1989 to 1999. The MF 231 is powered by a 3-cylinder Perkins diesel engine. The engine itself has a displacement of 2. 5 liters and overheating is prevented by a liquid cooling system that requires 10. 6 liters of coolant to fully fill the system. The total power of the engine is 38 hp. This power is transferred to the wheels through a transmission that provides the tractor with 8 forward gears and 2 reverse gears.

The fuel tank of the Massey Ferguson 231 has a capacity for 48. 1 liters of diesel. The MF 231’s engine sits on a 4×2 2WD chassis. As it is such a small tractor, it does not have a cab. Instead, it comes with a ROPS (Roll Over Protection System) bar. The tractor’s open hydraulic system requires 34. 8 liters of hydraulic fluid to ensure that it is completely filled. The total weight of the tractor is 1, 843 kg, but obviously it can be increased quite a bit if accessories are added or if the tractor is ballasted.

The Massey Ferguson 231 is a very useful and appreciated tractor from MF. It was rolling down the assembly line for 10 years before production was terminated, proving the immense popularity of this Massey. Massey Ferguson also has a large number of attachments compatible with the MF 231 that further increase its utility.
