Massey Ferguson 690 Horsepower FAQ

How much horsepower does the Massey Ferguson 690 have?

The listed engine output is 80 hp, close to the 80 hp benchmark average. That puts the tractor in a normal working range for this benchmark group, with 80 hp as the main engine number.

How much PTO horsepower does the Massey Ferguson 690 have?

The listed PTO output is 65 hp, close to the 65 hp benchmark average. Use 65 PTO hp as the practical implement-sizing number.

How much drawbar horsepower does the Massey Ferguson 690 have?

The listed drawbar output is 52.4 hp, close to the 55 hp benchmark average. It gives a realistic pulling-power figure of about 52.4 hp.

How much engine power reaches the PTO on the Massey Ferguson 690?

The PTO-to-engine transfer works out to 81.2%, from 80 engine hp to 65 PTO hp. That is a normal usable range for judging PTO implement fit.

How efficient is the Massey Ferguson 690 for pulling work?

The drawbar-to-engine transfer is about 65.5%, from 80 engine hp to 52.4 drawbar hp. That gives a more grounded pulling estimate than engine horsepower alone.

Is the Massey Ferguson 690 better judged by PTO hp or drawbar hp?

The drawbar output is about 80.6% of PTO output, comparing 52.4 drawbar hp with 65 PTO hp. That helps separate pulling ability from PTO implement ability.

How big is the Massey Ferguson 690 engine?

The engine displacement is 248 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 690 engine stressed for its PTO horsepower?

The engine has about 3.8 cubic inches per PTO hp, using 248 ci and 65 PTO hp. That is close to the normal benchmark for this category.

How much PTO horsepower per liter does the Massey Ferguson 690 make?

The output density is about 15.8 PTO hp per liter, using 65 PTO hp and 4.1 L of displacement. Higher hp/L means more output squeezed from each liter; lower hp/L usually means a more relaxed engine tune.
