Massey Ferguson 241 DI tractor is available with 3 types of Simpson engines with different-different cubic centimeter displacements because this tractor has so many sub models in whole India and that’s why there is difference in gear speeds also. Tractor has 1700 kg weighting capacity with 3 three points linkage for better sensing of implements during cultivation of land (in Massey Ferguson 241 tractor hydraulic pump is mounted at rear end of tractor which decreases response time for lift sensing). Here are some more specifications of tractor in brief:
