Massey Ferguson 1560 Horsepower FAQ
How much horsepower does the Massey Ferguson 1560 have?
The listed engine output is 59.1 hp, below the 80 hp benchmark average. That is a lower-power result, so the smarter match is lighter implements and jobs that do not demand more than about 59.1 hp.
How much PTO horsepower does the Massey Ferguson 1560 have?
The listed PTO output is 46.4 hp, below the 65 hp benchmark average. For real use, size PTO implements below or near 46.4 hp rather than using a bigger engine-horsepower number.
How much engine power reaches the PTO on the Massey Ferguson 1560?
The PTO-to-engine transfer works out to 78.5%, from 59.1 engine hp to 46.4 PTO hp. That is a normal usable range for judging PTO implement fit.
How big is the Massey Ferguson 1560 engine?
The engine displacement is 180 ci, below the 260 ci benchmark average. Smaller displacement usually means less engine size behind each horsepower number.
Is the Massey Ferguson 1560 engine stressed for its PTO horsepower?
The engine has about 3.9 cubic inches per PTO hp, using 180 ci and 46.4 PTO hp. That is close to the normal benchmark for this category.
How much PTO horsepower per liter does the Massey Ferguson 1560 make?
The output density is about 15.5 PTO hp per liter, using 46.4 PTO hp and 3 L of displacement. Higher hp/L means more output squeezed from each liter; lower hp/L usually means a more relaxed engine tune.
What rpm is the Massey Ferguson 1560 rated at?
The rated speed is 2,600 rpm, above the 2,200 rpm benchmark average. A higher 2,600 rpm rating can make power well but may feel busier under load.
Official information note
Horsepower and engine specs can vary by year, market, engine option, fuel system, test standard and tractor configuration. Check the operator manual, spec plate, parts book and official masseyferguson.com website before buying parts, sizing implements or making repair decisions.
