Capacity note
For the Massey Ferguson 6S.180, the listed cooling system capacity is 74 gal | 280.1 L. Buy slightly more coolant than the exact capacity so you have enough for topping off after air burps out.
Mixture note
Use the coolant type listed above and match the antifreeze/water mix to the operator manual and local freezing conditions.
Radiator cap note
The radiator cap pressure listed for the Massey Ferguson 6S.180 is 13 psi | 90 kPa. Do not replace it with a random cap unless the pressure rating matches.
Refill note
Refill slowly, run the tractor until warm with the heater circuit open if fitted, let it cool, then recheck the coolant level. Never remove a hot radiator cap under pressure.
Massey Ferguson 6S.180 Coolant FAQs
How much coolant does a Massey Ferguson 6S.180 take?
The Massey Ferguson 6S.180 takes 74 gal | 280.1 L of coolant. That is well above the normal row-crop tractor benchmark shown here, so treat it as a full cooling-system service job, not a quick top-up.
Is 74 gal | 280.1 L a lot of coolant for a Massey Ferguson 6S.180?
Yes. For this tractor category, 74 gal | 280.1 L is well above normal. This is the sort of refill where you want all coolant on hand before draining, because stopping halfway through the job is annoying and messy.
How many coolant jugs do I need for a Massey Ferguson 6S.180?
Do not underestimate this refill. A 74 gal | 280.1 L system needs about 74 one-gallon containers if you are using premixed coolant. If using concentrate at a 50/50 mix, plan on about 37 gal of concentrate and 37 gal of distilled water. In metric terms, that is roughly 57 x 5 L containers for a full premix refill.
What coolant should I use in a Massey Ferguson 6S.180?
The listed coolant is 50/50 ethylene glycol-based coolant. Ethylene glycol tells you the base coolant, but the additive package still matters on diesel engines, so match the manual or an approved equivalent.
Can I use a different radiator cap on a Massey Ferguson 6S.180?
The listed cap pressure is 13 psi | 90 kPa. That higher-pressure cap helps raise the boiling point, but only if the radiator neck, hoses and overflow path are in good shape. A weak cap or damaged seat can still cause coolant loss.
When should the Massey Ferguson 6S.180 coolant be changed?
The listed interval is every 500 hours. Hour-based service matters most on working tractors that spend long periods hot under load.
Official information note
Mistakes do happen. Coolant specs can change by year, engine, market, radiator option and coolant chemistry. Check the operator manual, parts book and official masseyferguson.com website before draining, flushing or refilling the cooling system.
