Common questions
Massey Ferguson 1155 weight FAQ
How much does a Massey Ferguson 1155 weigh?
The Massey Ferguson 1155 weighs 14,905 lb (6,761 kg) using the published Operating figure. Across the published configurations on this page, weight ranges from 11,750 to 20,460 lb (5,329 to 9,280 kg).
What is the operating weight of the Massey Ferguson 1155 compared with shipping weight?
Published operating weight is 14,905 lb (6,761 kg), versus 11,750–13,000 lb (5,330–5,897 kg) for shipping weight. That is roughly 3,155 lb (26.9%) more than shipping weight. Operating weight is generally the more useful starting point when estimating a ready-to-use tractor.
How much does the Massey Ferguson 1155 weigh with ballast?
The published ballasted weight is 20,460 lb (9,280 kg). That is up to 8,710 lb (74.1%) above the lightest published configuration. Ballast can therefore change the practical hauling and ground-pressure picture substantially on this model.
Is the Massey Ferguson 1155 heavy or light for a row-crop tractor?
It is close to average for its peer group. The representative figure sits at about the 60th percentile, near the middle of the row-crop tractor peers. That puts it in the average range for this comparison. It is 899 lb heavier than the peer-group average of 14,006 lb.
Does the Massey Ferguson 1155 weigh more than 10,000 lb?
Yes. The representative published weight is 14,905 lb, and the heaviest published configuration on this page is 20,460 lb (10.23 US tons). Any trailer calculation also needs the trailer itself plus fuel, ballast, attachments and other equipment.
What is the Massey Ferguson 1155 weight-to-horsepower ratio?
Using the page’s representative 14,905 lb weight and 140 hp power figure, the tractor carries about 106.5 lb per horsepower. A lower lb/hp number means less tractor mass for each horsepower; this is a comparison metric, not a traction or performance rating.
