Massey Ferguson 8250 Horsepower FAQ
How much PTO horsepower does the Massey Ferguson 8250 have?
The listed PTO output is 165 hp, close to the 175 hp benchmark average. Use 165 PTO hp as the practical implement-sizing number.
How much drawbar horsepower does the Massey Ferguson 8250 have?
The listed drawbar output is 144.8 hp, close to the 150 hp benchmark average. It gives a realistic pulling-power figure of about 144.8 hp.
Is the Massey Ferguson 8250 better judged by PTO hp or drawbar hp?
The drawbar output is about 87.8% of PTO output, comparing 144.8 drawbar hp with 165 PTO hp. That helps separate pulling ability from PTO implement ability.
How big is the Massey Ferguson 8250 engine?
The engine displacement is 449.4 ci, below the 520 ci benchmark average. Smaller displacement usually means less engine size behind each horsepower number.
Is the Massey Ferguson 8250 engine stressed for its PTO horsepower?
The engine has about 2.7 cubic inches per PTO hp, using 449.4 ci and 165 PTO hp. That is a smaller-displacement, higher-output style result.
How much PTO horsepower per liter does the Massey Ferguson 8250 make?
The output density is about 22.3 PTO hp per liter, using 165 PTO hp and 7.4 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 8250 rated at?
The rated speed is 2,200 rpm, close to the 2,100 rpm benchmark average. The 2,200 rpm figure is around normal for this class.
Horsepower and engine specs can vary by year, market, engine option, fuel system, test standard and tractor configuration. Check the operator manual, spec plate, parts book and official masseyferguson.com website before buying parts, sizing implements or making repair decisions.
