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 2855M Horsepower FAQ
How much horsepower does the Massey Ferguson 2855M have?
The listed engine output is 53.6 hp, above the 35 hp benchmark average. That is a higher-power result, so ballast, tire setup and implement width matter if you want to use the full 53.6 hp.
