Benchmarks use practical low, average and high ranges for the compact and small utility tractor category. Use the operator manual and actual engine/tractor configuration before sizing implements or judging working power.
Massey Ferguson 145V Horsepower FAQ
How much horsepower does the Massey Ferguson 145V have?
