Massey Ferguson 250 Horsepower FAQ

How much PTO horsepower does the Massey Ferguson 250 have?

The listed PTO output is 40 hp, above the 28 hp benchmark average. That is the number to use for mowers, balers, augers, pumps and other PTO tools that need up to about 40 hp.

How much drawbar horsepower does the Massey Ferguson 250 have?

The listed drawbar output is 34.7 hp, above the 24 hp benchmark average. That makes the 34.7 hp drawbar number more useful than engine hp for tillage and heavy pulling.

Is the Massey Ferguson 250 better judged by PTO hp or drawbar hp?

The drawbar output is about 86.7% of PTO output, comparing 34.7 drawbar hp with 40 PTO hp. That helps separate pulling ability from PTO implement ability.

How big is the Massey Ferguson 250 engine?

The engine displacement is 152 ci, above the 110 ci benchmark average. Bigger displacement can help low-rpm pull and load-holding feel.

Is the Massey Ferguson 250 engine stressed for its PTO horsepower?

The engine has about 3.8 cubic inches per PTO hp, using 152 ci and 40 PTO hp. That points to a larger-displacement, lower-stress style setup.

How much PTO horsepower per liter does the Massey Ferguson 250 make?

The output density is about 16 PTO hp per liter, using 40 PTO hp and 2.5 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 250 rated at?

The rated speed is 2,250 rpm, close to the 2,400 rpm benchmark average. The 2,250 rpm figure is around normal for this class.
