Massey Ferguson 274 Horsepower FAQ
How much PTO horsepower does the Massey Ferguson 274 have?
The listed PTO output is 55 hp, below the 65 hp benchmark average. For real use, size PTO implements below or near 55 hp rather than using a bigger engine-horsepower number.
How much drawbar horsepower does the Massey Ferguson 274 have?
The listed drawbar output is 46.1 hp, below the 55 hp benchmark average. For pulling work, the safer assumption is about 46.1 hp at the drawbar before soil, ballast and tire limits are considered.
Is the Massey Ferguson 274 better judged by PTO hp or drawbar hp?
The drawbar output is about 83.9% of PTO output, comparing 46.1 drawbar hp with 55 PTO hp. That helps separate pulling ability from PTO implement ability.
How big is the Massey Ferguson 274 engine?
The engine displacement is 236 ci, close to the 260 ci benchmark average. It is close to the normal engine-size range for this horsepower class.
Is the Massey Ferguson 274 engine stressed for its PTO horsepower?
The engine has about 4.3 cubic inches per PTO hp, using 236 ci and 55 PTO hp. That points to a larger-displacement, lower-stress style setup.
How much PTO horsepower per liter does the Massey Ferguson 274 make?
The output density is about 14.1 PTO hp per liter, using 55 PTO hp and 3.9 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 274 rated at?
The rated speed is 2,200 rpm, close to the 2,200 rpm benchmark average. The 2,200 rpm figure is around normal for this class.
