AGCO SISU Power ENGINES 



Select Massey Ferguson 7400 series tractors feature AGCO SISU Power diesel engines. 

These engines continue the quality and power that have become a highly-regarded feature in 

Massey Ferguson tractors. The engines are turbocharged, inter-cooled, and feature numerous 

improvements like reduced emissions, decreased noise level, and Electronic Engine 

Management 3 (EEM3), which is the most advanced EEM to date. The new Citius series engines 

are Tier III compliant and feature high pressure Common Rail (CR) fuel injection and 4valve 

per cylinder heads for larger gains in torque coverage and engine response. 

210-2

Engine information Plate 

The engine information plate is attached to the 

right (warm) side of the engine near the starter. 

It contains information about the engine such 

as model, serial number, dyno horsepower, 

and the person or team by whom it was assembled. 

All AGCO SISU Power engines 

proudly display this feature. These plates ensure 

that the utmost care and quality went in to 

the assembly of the engine. 

Single-Piece Cast Iron Block 

The robust design of the block adds considerable 

strength to the engine allowing it to act as 

a major load bearing portion of the tractor. 

This reduces the need for an oversized side 

frame. The result is a tractor with a shorter 

turning radius. 

Two, 4-Valve Cylinder Heads 

Tier III engines feature two, 4-valve cast cylinder 

heads. The new 4-valve design improves 

gas exchange approximately 25% over the 

previous one piece design. The increased gas 

flow also reduces the “pumping” requirement, 

freeing up mechanical power. This design 

also provides an optimal location for injector 

placement, in the center of the head vertically 

above the cylinder. Results are lower emissions 

and improved fuel burn, which creates 

more power and less emissions. 



210-3

Cast Aluminum Valve Covers 

A cast aluminum valve cover protects the 

valve train from the outside environment. An 

o-ring seal keeps harmful dust out and precious 

oil in the engine. This design has had a 

long history of reliability and durability. 

Wet Cylinder Liners with Mid Supports 

AGCO SISU Power engines feature wet cylinder 

liners that are centrally supported and replaceable. 

By efficiently cooling the top end of 

each cylinder liner, engine heat is reduced, 

thus allowing greater power. The central support 

meanwhile reduces vibration by 75%. This 

reduces wear on the cylinders and cylinder liners, 

reducing blow-by, oil consumption, and 

engine noise by 5 db. 

Fractured Piston Rods 

The big end of the connecting rod is fracturesplit, 

making the rough-edged big end stronger 

and more durable. The connecting rod can be 

made 17% lighter, which reduces vibration 

and increases the durability of the engine. The 

rods are then connected by special torx bolts. 

Reduced rotating mass allows for faster engine 

rpm rise. 

210-4 


MASSEY FERGUSON ® 7400 SERIES

Bosch CRIN2 Electronic Fuel Injector 

Tier III engines use the new, 8-hole, Bosch, 

solenoid controlled injectors. Each injector is 

capable of up to 5 different stages, where previous 

versions only had 1. Reduced noise levels 

are also a result of this improved precision. 

Bosh Rotary Fuel Pump 

The fuel pump used in common rail engines 

is a fuel lubricated, radial piston pump. The 

pump responds very quickly and precisely to 

throttle movements together with EEM3. Injection 

pressure capacity is very high. The pump 

provides the correct amount of fuel needed for 

the high-horsepower requirements. 

Stanadyne Fuel Filters and Feed Pump 

Two fuel filters are located on the “cool” side 

of the engine. The pre-filter filters to 30 microns 

and the main filter filters to 5 microns. 

Fuel is pumped through the filters at a rate 

up to 40/60 gal/hr (depending on engine 

model), more than enough to feed the fuel 

pump. This design is updated from the previous 

tier II engines. Using two filters increases 

the tractors ability to remove harmful debris 

from fuel before entering the engine, and allows 

for longer filter life, resulting in reduced 

maintenance costs. 



210-5

Common Rail (CR) Injection System 

Developed by Bosch for use only in AGCO 

SISU Power engines, fuel is pumped up to 

high pressure, over 22,000 PSI, in the rail. It is 

then released by the injectors into the cylinder 

as required for engine speed/power. This configuration 

offers more advanced timing of fuel 

flow. The EEM3 controls the opening, duration, 

and closing of the injectors for an even 

quicker response to changing tractor conditions. 

Electronic Engine Serial Number 

The electronic engine serial number stores 

the engine information (serial number, etc.). It 

also stores engine history for review by technicians. 

It stores things like load profile, hours, 

faults, service history, and injector wear 

counter. This works with the tractor’s systems 

to notify the operator of some faults or assists 

the technician with needed repairs, reducing 

service time and increasing time in the field. 

Inlet Grid Heater 

Cold starts are assisted with an air intake grid 

heater. The cold air is heated as it passes by 

the electrically powered grid. This system is 

more effective than a glow plug system. 

210-6 



Air Intake System 

The cassette style air cleaner is located at the 

front of the tractor inside the single-piece hood. 

The design allows greater airflow and can hold 

up to 20% more dust than canister type filters. 

The series of vortices at the bottom of the 

housing swirl the larger particles to the outside 

of the case where they are sucked out through 

the exhaust. The result is a more powerful, 

cleaner burning engine with great fuel 

consumption ratings. 

Electronic Engine Management 3 (EEM3) 

All 7400 Series tractors feature Electronic Engine 

Management 3 (EEM3). Developed as a 

proprietary system, it is the most advanced fuel 

injection system to date. The main components 

of the system are the fuel pump, common rail, 

injectors and ECU. With EEM3 these engines 

meet the stringent requirements of Tier III standards 

while improving performance and fuel 

consumption. 

Cooling System 

The expandable cooling system on the 7400 

Series incorporates a radiator which has been 

pre-serviced with antifreeze to –30°F. The 

cooling system is made up of five coolers: 

transmission oil, hydraulic oil, radiator, intercooler 

and A/C condenser. This design aids in 

cleaning and has greater cooling capacity than 

previous designs. The simple design is easy to 

use with the single piece lifting hood. 

210-7 



Viscous Fan Drive 

The Viscous Fan Drive houses an internal 

clutch which responds to engine temperature. 

As the engine temperature increases, the 

clutch engages and makes the fan spin faster. 

This increases total airflow through the radiator 

and provides increased cooling capacity. At 

low engine temperatures, the fan spins very 

little using almost no horsepower; that power is 

then available for other functions. 

Adjustable Preset Engine Speeds 

The EEM3 gives the operator complete control 

over the speed of the engine without ever 

touching the hand throttle. The EEM3 inputs 

allow the operator to set two preset engine 

speeds. Engine speeds can be adjusted in 

increments of 10 rpm. This enables the operator 

to select a predetermined engine speed at 

the push of a button. The EEM3 allows adjustment 

of engine speed independent of the 

hand throttle location. To determine the exact 

set engine speed, the Dot Matrix or GTA Console 

will always show the set A and B speeds. 



210-8

A-Post Exhaust 

The location of the exhaust on the 7400 Series 

helps to reduce interior cab noise, vibration, 

and obstruction of cab visibility. 



210-9

DYNA- VT TRANSMISSION 



Massey Ferguson 7400 Series tractors feature the Dyna-VT transmission. Since going into 

production in 1996, this CVT has been the world leader in Continuously Variable 

Transmissions (CVT). The Dyna-VT provides new levels of performance, productivity, and 

efficiency. It offers operators infinite ground speeds that are not dependent upon engine RPM. 

It uses a combination of hydraulic and mechanical power to efficiently transfer power to the 

ground. This design is not only the most efficient, its strength and reliability have been proven 

by over 100,000 units produced to date. Simplicity is key to new technology, and this design 

has only ONE electronic controller that can be manually overridden in case of an electronic 

failure. 

Operators quickly realize that the Dyna-VT is one of the most simple to operate. Additionally, 

the two speed ranges, two cruise speeds, and two forward reverse presets help operators 

become more productive throughout their day. 

Dyna-6 transmission will be available until April 2010. 

220-1

Dyna-VT Variability 

The Dyna-VT fills in the speed gaps left by 

other transmissions. Speeds that cannot otherwise 

be obtained with a gear on gear transmission 

without altering the engine RPM can 

now be attained at any engine speed above 

1200 RPM. To maximize production operators 

can throttle back and increase speed. Depending 

upon conditions, operators can cover 

more ground in less time at a lower engine 

RPM, saving costly fuel while seeing higher 

returns in productivity. This variability translates 

directly into higher productions levels at 

lower fuel costs. 

Single Electronic Actuator 

There is only one electronic controller on 

Dyna-VT transmissions. This simple design 

prevents operators from being “stuck” in case 

of an electronic failure, because the controller 

can be accessed through a door in the floor of 

the tractor. Then, the rod stored at the rear of 

the tractor, can be attached to the actuator 

and controlled manually. This design virtually 

eliminates the chances of leaving a tractor in 

the field. 

Dynamic Tractor Management 

Dynamic Tractor Management (DTM) allows 

the CVT to operate at maximum efficiency for 

a given ground speed. The operator simply 

dials in a specific ground speed and the transmission 

finds the optimum setting of power 

and fuel efficiency for that ground speed, by 

communicating with the engine. Using DTM 

allows the tractor to reduce fuel consumption 

at times when higher power is not required, 

boosting long-term productivity. 



220-2

Fewer Parts 

Time and experience has taught that bigger is 

not always better. Dyna-VT transmissions 

have fewer moving parts when compared to 

other transmissions. For instance, there are 

only 7 cut gears, which are always under a 

constant load, and do not receive the shock 

associated with powershift transmissions. The 

gears can then be made smaller, which reduces 

rotating weight, and makes the transmission 

more efficient on fuel and power 

transfer. This creates a product that has a 

longer life span, increased resale value, and 

less maintenance. cost. 

Pressure Lubricated Bearings 

Every bearing on the Dyna-VT is pressured 

lubricated. This allows for smaller components 

and more efficient power transfer. Because 

these bearings are pressure fed, the cooling 

is superior to other designs. The unit is able to 

withstand greater loads as heat is dissipated 

Separate Oil Reservoir 

One of the unique advantages of Dyna-VT 

transmissions is the use of a separate oil reservoir. 

The oil it houses is only used for the transmission 

and differential. The hydraulic tank is 

completely separate from the Dyna-VT . 

This isolates the oil in the system from the hydraulic 

remotes, all but eliminating potential 

contamination from outside sources. This feature 

also aids in cooling, which results in long 

transmission life, durability, and reliability. 



220-3

Simple Operation 

Controlling the Dyna-VT is quite simple. 

The Three Function Shuttle [A] can declutch, 

shuttle forward/reverse, or increase/ 

decrease speed, all with the left hand. The 

Right Hand Controller [B] can be used to increase 

or decrease speeds as needed. Simply 

push the lever in the direction of travel to 

increase and away from the direction of travel 

to decrease. The multiple options for operators 

makes these transmissions suitable to all 

jobs. 

Active Stop 

Active Stop allows the tractor to stop either 

forward or reverse travel by simply raising the 

shuttle lever [A] while in motion. The tractor 

will stay in place, even on a slope, until the 

shuttle lever is lowed back into place. 

Speed Ranges 

The Dyna-VT has two ranges in which to 

operate. The turtle (low) range provides 

speeds from 0 to 17 MPH (0-28kph). The rabbit 

(high) has speeds from 0 to 25 MPH (0- 

40kph). If the optional 31MPH transmission is 

selected, the high range simply increases to 

31 MPH (50kph). These ranges provide a 

speed for every task. 

NOTE: While operating in draft or tillage 

applications, the Dyna-VT should ALWAYS 

be operated in the turtle (low) Range. 



220-4

Economy 

The Dyna-VT transmission provide a feature 

which allows the operator to save fuel during 

transport. The tractor can operate at a speed of 

up to 31 (optional) mph @ 1900 rpm making 

transport much more economical. This reduces 

fuel costs, and operating cycle times. It will 

also improve the life of the engine and decrease 

the amount of maintenance. 

Adjustable Cruise Speeds 

The Dyna-VT has two adjustable cruise 

speeds in each range. The cruise speeds can 

be engaged, when the engine RPM is above 

1100, by pressing the corresponding button 

on the right hand armrest. Slowing for a turn 

at a headland is much easier. Simply press 

the button that corresponds to the programmed 

slower speed, then once the turn is 

made, press the other button to activate the 

previous speed setting. 

Programmable Shuttle Speeds 

The programmable shuttle speeds provides a 

convenience in operation. Programming the 

forward and reverse shuttle speeds is effortless 

and quick. An operator can custom tailor 

the speeds for what ever works best in that 

particular application, such as loader work or 

silage packing. 



220-5 

Cruise speeds 

Forward & Reverse shuttle speeds

Foot Pedal Mode 

The foot pedal mode was designed to make 

delicate work, trouble-free. When engaged the 

tractor will operate much like a car. When the 

pedal is pressed the tractor responds by 

increasing the engine and ground speed. 

There are three different modes available: 

Power Mode, Economy Mode, and Forager 

Mode. 

Power Mode 

The power mode is used for maximum engine 

power for the selected ground speed, in this 

case 5 mph. Maximum engine speed is selected 

using the SV1 dial. 

Economy Mode 

Economy mode allows the selected ground 

speed at a reduced engine RPM. Engine 

speed is selected using the SV1 dial. Economy 

mode saves valuable fuel on jobs that 

require less power. 

Forager Mode 

Forager mode is most beneficial for PTO 

applications. When engaged, the engine can 

be set to a specific RPM, then the foot pedal 

is used to control the speed of the tractor. 

PTO driven implements can now maintain the 

proper RPM and the operator can vary the 

speed of the tractor according to conditions. 



220-6

Turbo Clutch 

The turbo clutch functions allows the operator 

to stop the tractor (with the engine BELOW 

1250 RPM) using only the brakes. This 

feature provides precise control during loader 

work or attaching an implement. 

Engine Supervisor 

The engine supervisor allows operators to set 

the percentage of engine RPM loss allowed 

under heavy loads before the transmission 

adjusts the output ratio. This would be similar 

to downshifting in a powershift tractor, yet 

there is no power loss to the ground with the 

Dyna-VT. This feature can also be used in 

conjunction with PTO operated implements 

where maintaining engine speed is important. 

The engine supervisor further enhances the 

efficiency of CVT transmissions. 

Optional 31 MPH (50 KPH) Transmission 

The optional 31 MPH Dyna-VT adds to an 

already powerful package. The ability to 

transport the tractor and implements is 

increased 28% over the standard speed, 

allowing for more time in the field and 

performing other tasks. The suspended front 

axle is required with this option. 



220-7

FRAME AND AXLES 

230-1 



The 7400 series tractors feature a tested, proven design on their rear differential, brakes, and 

final drives. The rear differential lock can be electro hydraulically engaged with the use of a 

rocker switch located on the right console to ensure a proper, smooth engagement. 

Coupled with the rear differential system, are the inboard rear planetary final drives. The final 

drives on Dyna-VT equipped tractors operate in heavy gear oil to ensure proper lubrication, 

reduce heat, and provide long wear life. 

This tractor series does not have a full frame, as all the major components are designed to be 

part of the tractor structure. Side rails are available for applications requiring the mounting of 

tanks or other components to the tractor, but they are not needed for loader applications. 

The 7400 series tractors have smooth progressive braking supplied by a wet, rear disc braking 

system. This system consists of ring pistons, brake discs, and steel backing plates. In addition, 

the brake discs are immersed in hydraulic oil to keep the discs lubricated and cool. 

Independent suspended pedals operate the individual turning brakes. For transport, the pedals 

can be latched together to provide equal braking effort to each wheel. Dual brake actuation will 

electro-hydraulically engage the PFA (Power Front Axle) clutch. Dyna-VT transmissions 

are also equipped with a Cardan brake, which supplies additional braking power on the PFA 

shaft. 

In addition, 7400 series tractors feature a parking brake as standard equipment. The park 

brake is engaged by a lever to the left of the seat.

Rear Wet Disc Brakes 

Wet rear discs brakes provide smooth, 

progressive, fade free braking. The wet 

system keeps the discs cool during operation 

which maintains constant braking power and 

reduces fade. It also reduces wear to provide 

for a long service life and decreased 

maintenance. 

Automatic Four Wheel Braking 

When both brake pedals are pressed 

simultaneously, the PFA clutch will engage, 

having a four wheel braking effect. This 

effectively ties all four wheels together for 

greater breaking capacity. This feature 

increases operator safety when towing heavy 

loads. 

Front Axle Braking 

In addition to the auto four wheel braking, all 

Dyna-VT equipped tractors feature a Cardan 

brake on the front driveline. This additional 

brake pack raises the total number to 3 brake 

packs. This industry leading feature allow 

these tractors to stop greater loads with less 

effort, increasing safety and productivity. 



230-2

Park Brake 

The manual parking brake on 7400 series 

tractors operates independently of other tractor 

systems. This simple system provides a 

greater margin of safety, and is easy to use. An 

optional electronic park brake is now available. 

Differential Locks 

The differential locks on the 7400 series 

tractors are controlled by a convenient rocker 

switch located on the right console. This 

switch provides quick, convenient access for 

the operator to engage the differential locks 

when needed. 

When engaged all powered axles will distribute 

power equally to each wheel, increasing 

pulling ability. In PFA configurations, the front 

differential features a locking mechanism so 

operators enjoy a true 4wd tractor. This increased 

productivity, and reduces wheel slip. 



230-3

Bar Axles 

The 7400 series tractors are equipped with 

large diameter axles, and are available in long 

and short configurations. This size axle 

provides wider rear wheel tread width 

adjustments, and also provides extra space for 

dual wheel applications. Furthermore, the 

added strength of the larger axle provides 

improved adaptability for high torque field 

Rear Axle Reduction Units 

The rear axle reduction units for Dyna-VT 

tractors are an inboard style. The units also 

use gear oil for lubrication, that is separate 

from the transmission/differential, hydraulics, 

and each side. Using heavier oil provides 

greater lubrication, superior cooling, and great 

load capacities. Plus, having the fluid separate 

from other tractor components virtually 

eliminates the chance for cross-contamination 

and premature failure. 



230-4

Powered Front Axle 

7400 series tractors are available factory installed 

with a Powered Front Axle (PFA). The 

front axle is matched for the horsepower and 

chassis size of each tractor model. A single 

piece of cast-iron makes up the center housing. 

Heavy outboard planetary housings with 

high load carrying capacities. A maximum front 

wheel turn angle of 55 degrees and axle oscillation 

of +/-11° maintains positive tire to ground 

contact. For additional strength and protection, 

all PFA equipped tractors feature a center line 

drive. The front axle drive engages on-the-go 

as needed, by use of a rocker switch on the 

right hand console. 

Single Center Pin Frame Mount 

This feature provides a single mounting point 

for the front axle. In addition to allowing a full 

range of motion, the single mount reduces 

maintenance time by having a single service 

point. 

Shielded Centerline Drive 

The shielded centerline drive allows for a reduction 

in the total number of universal joints in 

the drive system. This reduces maintenance 

time and potential wear points. 



230-5

55° Maximum Steering Angle 

A tight 55° steering angle allows the 7400 series 

to maintain a tight turning radius. This 

wide turning angle also allows the tractor 

greater maneuverability in tight spaces. 

Front Fenders 

Optional fixed or pivoting (shown) front fenders 

can be equipped. Front fenders deflect debris 

coming from the front tires and reduce the 

chances of the material coming in contact with 

the tractor cab or impacting other traffic during 

transport. It is recommended that you order 

fenders the same width or wider than the front 

tires. 



230-6

Suspended Front Axle 



Front axle suspension is an option to the PFA on 7400 series tractors. The key advantage of 

the front axle suspension system is the increased ground contact it provides by reducing wheel 

slip and power hop. When the tractor encounters rough terrain, the front axle will remain on 

the ground pulling the tractor rather than hopping and allowing the wheels to spin freely. In addition, 

the front suspension provides greater steering control and reduces fore and aft pitching 

when towing heavy loads. The simple design and ease of maintenance provides solid handling 

while increasing productivity. 

The front suspension system also provides a convenient on / off switch which allows the system 

to be disengaged during heavy loader and grading operations. In the off position, the hydraulic 

accumulators allow the hydraulic ram to lower and rest on the axle. When lowered on 

the axle, the system still maintains the full range motion of +/-11° oscillation. 

230-7

Front Suspension System (Optional) 

The optional front suspension system allows 

the tractor to keep the front tires in constant 

contact with the ground. This eliminates excess 

slippage and reduces both tire wear and damage 

to the front drive train. Additional benefits 

include more responsive steering, smoother 

ride at high speeds, and reduced load shocks. 

Front axle suspension is required for 31 MPH 

(50kph) configurations. 

Easy Disengagement Switch 

A convenient rocker switch allows the front 

suspension to be disengaged for certain operations, 

including heavy loader work and grading. 

In the off position, the hydraulic suspension 

ram lowers the system until it rests on the axle. 

The entire axle will still maintain the full range 

of oscillation. This feature allows tractors 

equipped with the suspension system to be 

used in the most demanding of applications. 



230-8

3 POINT HITCH, PTO, DRAWBAR 



The 7400 Series tractors feature an Electronic Lift Control (ELC) 3-point hitch. This ELC gives 

operators full control over the hitch for a variety of jobs. Active transport control is standard on 

ELC equipped tractors, and wheel slip control is standard on tractors equipped with radar. External 

lift controls are standard and located on each rear fender. 

An independent PTO comes standard with two shaft sizes, and 540 / 1000 RPM configurations. 

Controls are conveniently located in the cab and a fender mounted, external PTO stop 

is standard. 

A swinging drawbar is standard on all 7400 series tractors. It has three length positions for different 

tool applications. 

240-1

3-Point Hitch 

The hitches on the 7400 Series tractors will 

handle mounted implements such as planters, 

cultivators, rear blades, mowers and much 

more. The hitch can be bushed down to accept 

some smaller implements if needed. With high 

lift capacities, these tractors are well suited to 

mounted implements The 3-point hitches can 

be fitted with factory a factory quick hitch (not 

pictured) as an option. 

Adjustable Lift Arms 

The lift arms for the 3-point hitch are easily 

adjustable with built-in handles. Grease points 

are part of the arm for long service life. The 

large robust design is sure to fulfill any lifting 

requirements. 

Hitch Stabilizers 

The 3-point hitch utilizes adjustable screwtype 

stabilizers. There is a wide range of adjustment 

for most applications. This design is 

easy to use and requires little adjustment. 



240-2

Link Ends 

The lower link ends are extendable, with a 

category II ball ends on 7465-7480. The ends 

drilled for category II or III implements on 

7485-7499. This design is simple, and reduces 

time involved with attaching heavy or 

awkward implements. 

3-Point controls 

The lift/lower switch [A] for the hitch is located 

in the right armrest of the operators seat along 

with the depth control [B]. The armrest is attached 

to the seat for easy access by operators. 

The lift/lower switch [A] has three positions: 

lift, lower, and neutral, and must be cycled 

each time the tractor is started for the 

hitch to become active. The depth control dial 

[B] can be simply turned to the desired depth. 

External 3-Point controls 

All units come equipped with external lift controls 

fitted to the rear, outside portion of each 

fender. For safety, the lift/lower switch inside 

the cab must be in the ‘neutral’, or ‘lower’ position. 

Operators can stand clear of the hitch 

and tires under most tire/wheel configurations. 

Convenience and safety were the two main 

goals in mind when designing these controls 

on the tractor. 

240-3

Electronic Lift Control 

The Electronic Lift Control (ELC) is located on 

the rear portion of the right console. Operation 

controls for the hitch are located in the armrest. 

These dial controls are familiar, and easy to 

learn and use. The controls allow quick customization 

for various tasks. 

ELC Functions 

The ELC contains many functions that operators 

will appreciate. Functions include: 

Lift height limit [A] controls where the hitch will 

stop when lifted. 

Hitch response (Draft sensing) [B] controls the 

amount of response the tractor has to changing 

conditions when the hitch is lowered. 

Rate of drop [C] controls how fast the hitch 

lowers. 

Error indicator [D] will flash if there is some 

type of malfunction. When the tractor is first 

started, the light will remain on until the 3point 

control is cycled. This is a safety feature 

preventing accidental lowering of the hitch. 

Active transport control [E] uses the lift rams 

to buffer the shock associated with the transport 

of large heavy hitch mounted implements. 

This feature is only active when the hitch control 

switch is in the raise position. 

Direction indicator [F] simply indicates the direction 

the hitch is moving.

Power Take Off 



Independent, Power Take Off (PTO) is standard equipment on the 7400 Series tractors. The 

PTO is driven by a live shaft from the engine. A wet, multi-disc clutch engages and 

disengages the PTO output shaft. A safety switch is designed into the engagement system to 

prevent the engine from being started if the PTO is in the engaged position. Additionally, the 

7400 Series tractors feature a convenient PTO cut-off switch on the outside of the tractor. This 

enables the operator quick access to disengage the PTO from the ground. 

All 7400 Series tractors feature dual speed, 540/1000 rpm PTO with an economy 540 rpm 

speed standard. A digital display of the PTO speed is provided in the dash mounted instrument 

panel. 

All 7400 Series tractors feature a bolt-on access flange that replaces the spring retainer clip. 

This provides greater strength during use under high loads. 

PTO Shafts 

Two PTO shafts are supplied with each new 

tractor. 

21 Spline, 1000 rpm, 1 3/8” Shaft 

6 Spline, 540 rpm, 1 3/8” Shaft 

For 7485 - 7499, changing the shaft is as 

simple as removing 6 hex nuts on the rear of 

the tractor and removing the shaft. No oil is lost 

during this process. 7465 - 7480 do not utilize 

this the flange type PTO shaft. 

Digital PTO Speed Display 

This display provides precise control of PTO 

driven implements. It allows the operator a 

quick reference point for exact PTO speeds. It 

also eliminates guess-work associated with 

matching PTO speeds to engine RPM. Finally, 

the speed display increases equipment 

accuracy and productivity. 

240-5

Ground Level PTO Disengage Switch 

This exterior switch provides safe, quick 

access to disengage the PTO clutch without 

climbing back in the cab. Also, the PTO can 

only be engaged from the operator cab. 

Drawbar with Clevis 

The drawbar on the 7400 Series features a durable 

clevis design. A hitch pin is included in 

the toolbox. The hitch also includes a hanger 

strap for attaching safety chains. 



240-6

Front Three-Point Linkage (Optional) 

The front linkage is controlled by the hydraulic 

valve controls. A simple gate valve can 

be turned at the rear of the tractor to switch 

between control of the front hitch and control 

of the rear remotes. The front 3-point linkage 

has two available lift capacities. The smaller 

lift requires that the tractor be fitted with the 

front belly weight. Hydraulic accumulators are 

also available to absorb shock during transport 

applications with front mounted implements. 

Factory loaders are compatible with 

the front 3-point linkage. 

Front PTO (Optional) 

Front PTO for 7400 series tractors is available 

factory installed. The front PTO is compatible 

with the front 3-point linkage. A front PTO and 

hitch make the series much more versatile. 

Factory loaders are compatible with the front 

PTO also. 

Front Hydraulic Remotes (Optional) 

Two sets of front hydraulic remotes are standard 

when a front hitch is ordered. They are 

controlled by the hydraulic valve controls. A 

simple gate valve can be turned at the rear of 

the tractor to switch between control of the 

front and rear remotes. 



240-7

HYDRAULICS 



The 7400 Series Massey Ferguson tractors feature a closed center, load sensing, pressure 

and flow compensated system with a maximum flow of 29-gpm. An optional 39 gpm load 

sensing system is also available. 

The 7400 Series tractors utilize a large, spin-on cartridge hydraulic oil filtration system. The 

spin on filter allows the operator to perform quick, easy maintenance of the hydraulic system. 

Also, system monitor lights on the cab console alert the operator when service is needed to the 

hydraulic system. 

Two hydraulic remotes, power beyond circuit, and a load sensing line are standard on the 

7400 Series. Options are available for up to four mechanical lever remotes, two electrohydraulic 

remotes controlled by a RMS joystick in the armrest. The 7400 Series also features 

standard mechanical valves with float and detent locks. 

250-1

Hydraulic Pumps 

The axial piston pump is mounted externally 

on the transmission and driven through a collecting 

shaft. This pump supplies high pressure 

oil, 2900 PSI, for the remotes and 3-point 

hitch. Depending on tractor configurations one 

or two other pumps supply oil for functions 

such as steering, braking, ect. 

Separate Oil Reservoirs (CVT Only) 

The sump for the transmission is located in 

the transmission case and the sump for other 

hydraulics is located in the tank on the right 

side of the tractor. This eliminates the potential 

for cross-contamination in the transmission. 

Mechanical Valves 

Depending on model, all 7400 Series tractors 

are standard with two to four mechanical 

valves. The standard mechanical levers are 

located on the right console. 



250-2

Electronic Valves (Optional) 

Electronically controlled valves are optional 

and provide control to the remotes. Up to four 

electronically controlled valves can be 

equipped. If time and flow control over all 

valves is desired the tractor must be equipped 

with a Datatronics® III Console I. 

Power Beyond 

The standard power beyond is equipped with 

3 ports: pressure [A], return [B], and load 

sense [C]. These additional ports allow operators 

to supply the tractor’s hydraulic flow and 

power to additional valves or other jobs. This 

standard feature is most valuable for operations 

that have multiple uses for tractors 

throughout the year. 

Ergonomic Lever Layout 

The lever layout on the 7400 tractors places 

hydraulic controls in a convenient location 

where they can be easily reached by the operator. 

Ergonomic design helps to reduce operator 

fatigue and increase efficiency. 



250-3

RMS Joystick (Optional) 

The RMS (remote management system) is an 

option on the 7400 series. The system is comprised 

of a joystick mounted in the armrest 

which controls two electro-hydraulic proportional 

spool valves at the rear of the tractor. 

The system also incorporates a third function 

switch which allows the activation of a solenoid 

valve for functions such as the grapple fork on 

a front-end loader. The switch can be made 

active simply by adding a relay to the fuse 

panel. All wiring harnesses are already included 

in the tractor. 

Activation [A] & Memory [B] Buttons 

The optional electronic hydraulic system offers 

a memory feature [B] which allows operators 

to set proportional flow rates. This function 

memorizes the flow rate of the output and 

input of each spool valve controlling the flow 

of the hydraulic valves. For example, the finger 

tip system can be used to control the rate 

of drop on a hydraulically lifted implement, 

thus reducing potential damage to the axle 

and hydraulic ram mounts. 



250-4

A

Roll Over Locks 

Each console mounted lever is equipped with 

rolling adjustable locks. Rolling lever locks 

provide quick easy operation of hydraulic remotes. 

This increases efficiency by freeing 

the operators hands for other functions. 

Dot Matrix Display 

All 7400 Series tractors are equipped with a 

standard Dot Matrix display screen [A] on the 

left-hand side of the dash. Touchpad controls 

[B] for the Dot Matrix screen are located on 

the right-hand steering console. A simple 

touch pad allows operators to scroll through 

the various screens and adjust the hydraulic 

functions. 

Hydraulic Priority 

The priority of hydraulic flow is adjusted and 

set as a percent basis using the appropriate 

Dot Matrix screen. Hydraulic flow can be set 

so that 100% of flow is diverted to the 3-point 

hitch first and then to the hydraulic valves, or 

vice versa. The Dot Matrix screen shot to the 

right is currently set so that 70% of hydraulic 

flow is diverted to the rear 3-point hitch and 

30% of flow is diverted to the hydraulic valves 

when both are operated simultaneously. 



250-5

Joystick Time/Flow 

The optional joystick controls 2 electrohydraulic 

proportional spool valves. Time and 

flow of these two valves are easily adjusted 

using the appropriate Dot Matrix screen, if the 

GTA console is not equipped 



250-6

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM 



The 7400 Series tractors feature a powerful electrical package capable of powering multiple 

monitors, lighting packages, and normal tractor functions. A serpentine-belt powered alternator 

charges the two batteries. The system is a perfect fit for a tractor known for it’s power and 

reliability. 

260-1

Batteries 

This series Massey Ferguson tractor incorporates 

two 12 volt batteries on the right side of 

the tractor, just in front of the steps. They are 

covered by an easy to remove plastic cover 

for protection. This provides easy access for 

routine maintenance. Removal of the shield 

does not require tools. 

Main Power Disconnect 

Manual main power disconnect is standard 

and is located below the battery box. A removable 

key is used to activate the disconnect 

system. 

Powerful Charging 

7400 series tractors are equipped with 120 

amp alternator with an available 150 amp as 

an option (only 175 amp for the 7497 and 

7499). This supplies power to operate all the 

lighting, air conditioning, and electrical features. 



260-2

Starter 

The 4 horsepower starter is more than adequate 

to start the engines of this series. It is 

also equipped with a jump point for convenience. 

7 Terminal ASAE Rear Electrical Outlet 

The rear of the tractor incorporates a 7-pin 

terminal ASAE Rear Electrical Outlet. The 

outlet supplies power for lights on towed or 

mounted implements. A spring loaded cap 

covers the outlet when not in use. 

Fuse Box 

A conveniently located fuse box and quick release 

cover provide quick access to the interior 

fuse panel. The interior fuse panel is located 

behind the PTO speed selector panel on the 

right side of the operator. 



260-3

Auxiliary Power Supply 

Located in the lower right rear of the cab is a 

cigarette type power socket [A] which is 12 

volt and a three spade [B] power plug for 

equipment monitor power supply. Both power 

supplies are fused through the tractors electrical 

system. Also located in the same position 

is the diagnostic plug [C] for service technicians. 

Trailed Implement Control (TIC) 

The port to the right of the 7-pin trailer plug is 

for connecting pull-type implements equipped 

with TIC. TIC allows the tractor to raise the 

tool in small increments when the maximum 

wheel slip is exceeded. This allows for operators 

to save fuel by reducing wheel slip, and 

reduces operator fatigue. 



260-4

DATATRONICS® 



The Console and accompanying software provides easy to use, precise controls for many of 

the tractors functions. The operator has the ability to record, store, and/or monitor many more 

variables then ever previously available. The software is housed in the Console I. A few tasks 

that the console can perform include: 

• Timed detent and flow control over all hydraulic remotes 

• Headland application system which stores a timed sequence of instructions to be repeated 

at the headlands. 

• Memory functions which allow up to six sets of information to be stored for various fields, 

operators, or implements. 

• Recording of acres covered, fuel used, number of cycles, time at a particular job and more. 

• Monitor engine or PTO rpm, engine speed and pre-set engine speeds, real time theoretical 

fuel consumption, wheel slip and more. 

• Trailed Implement Control (TIC) 

270-1

Work Screen 

The work screen is the most commonly used 

screen in the terminal. It displays engine preset 

speeds, current RPM and ground speed, 

wheel slip, PTO speed, and other selected 

information. This bright colorful display is a 

convenient location for operators to monitor 

tractor functions. 

Optional Screens 

The work screen has two lower portions 

where users can select a variety of displays 

depending upon their needs. This versatility 

allows customization for each individual job or 

operator as needed. 

Console Settings 

Through this screen an array of settings can 

be altered. Items accessible from this screen 

are: time and date, system of measure (metric 

or standard), brightness of the screen, the volume 

of the indicator beep, language, and 

scheduled service intervals. These features 

allow different operations to customize the 

console for each individual use. 



270-2

Valves 

The valves screen is easily accessed via the 

main menu. From here a user can adjust time, 

flow, and float controls as needed. These settings 

make the tractor simple to use and versatile 

enough for nearly all jobs. 

Headland Management 

The headland management screen is used to 

set up a series of operations that are typically 

associated with entering, exiting or turning at 

the headlands of a field. Some of the main 

functions available are: lock / unlock of the 

rear differential and powered front axle, 

switching between preset engine speeds or to 

idle, activation / deactivation of electronically 

controlled valves, transmission speed, and 

many more. Up to six sequences can be 

stored in the console at any one time, or they 

can be stored on a home computer and uploaded 

via SD card as needed. Once a sequence 

is created and active, all the operator 

has to do is press and hold the headland button 

[A] to activate the sequence. This button is 

conveniently located on the right armrest. An 

adjustable beep will sound at the completion 

of the sequence. 



270-3 

A

Memories 

Specific jobs, tools, or even operators can be 

stored on the memory screen. Up to six different 

jobs can be stored. Headland managment 

sequences are associated with these jobs 

when the selected job is ’on’. Also in this 

screen, recorded data can be saved to an SD 

card for transfer to one of the available software 

suites such as GTA 100, 200, or 300. 

Productivity 

On the work screen an operator can see real 

time information such as fuel used per hour or 

per acre, acres per hour, or total acres covered 

up to the current point. A memory job 

must be set up and active. At the bottom of 

this screen the amount of overlap on each 

pass can be set. This information is stored 

and can be saved to a SD card for use with 

GTA software. One significant benefit is the 

ability to adjust transmission speed and engine 

RPM for the best possible fuel consumption. 

Trailed Implement Control (TIC) 

TIC is a digital operating system that uses the 

console to monitor ground speed and wheel 

slippage. Used with tractor’s hydraulics, the 

working depth can be slightly varied to control 

slippage and keep field travel speed and engine 

performance at their peak. This system 

utilizes the Electronic Linkage Control, Datatronics 

III, and the hydraulic valves for precision 

tillage operation and a high level of tractor 

performance. TIC helps to increase field productivity 

and keep the tractor operating at optimum 

performance, while reducing tire wear 

and fuel consumption. 



270-4

Dual Control 

Dual control allows front 3-point hitch 

equipped tractors to time the lift and lower of 

the front and rear hitch together. This allows 

an operator more time to focus on other tasks 

because when the 3-point hitch button is lowered, 

the front implement and rear implement 

will contact the ground at the same point. 

Video Provision 

A console equipped with the video provision 

can be connected to a camera via a cable 

purchased through AGCO Parts. This cable’s 

input is the common S-video plug. The cameras 

can be used as rear view mirrors, air meter 

monitors, and much more. The picture is 

extremely high quality and has three settings: 

full mode-picture is on all the time, reverse 

mode-picture is only on in reverse, and transparent-picture 

is the background for all other 

menus. 

ISOBUS Compatibility 

The ISOBUS 11783 standard applies to the 

hardware and software of tractor and implement 

communication in both Agriculture and 

Forestry. This common platform allows compliant 

tractors of any brand or model to communicate 

with implements of different brand or 

model without the need for additional monitors 

or terminals. This reduces the cost associated 

with purchase of a new tractor or implement. 



270-5

ISOBUS Plug (Optional) 

The ISOBUS 11783 standard applies to the 

hardware and software of tractor and implements 

which are compliant. This has created 

a new plug at the rear of the tractor. This plug 

should only be used with other ISOBUS compliant 

tools. The common plug can be seen on 

every major manufacturer of high horsepower 

tractors. This plug will allow users to quickly 

identify the compatibility of one tool to another. 

ISOBUS Menu 

The ISOBUS menu allows users to select the 

language for the implements that are controlled 

through the terminal, erase saved implements, 

or turn off the ISOBUS function. 

This feature adds to the versatility of the ISO- 

BUS compliant packages. 



270-6

OPERATOR ENVIRONMENT 



The 7400 Series tractors feature a modern styled cab. It is a ROPS certified cab that provides 

a comfortable environment with low noise level and a large operator area. Good visibility, easy 

to reach controls, adjustable driving positions, heating and air conditioning, and plenty of elbow 

room were all primary design considerations. 

The cab is easily entered via self-cleaning steps and wide doors on both sides of the tractor. 

To aid in entry and exit, extra long handles are located at the front cab corners and on the 

doors, all within easy reach of the operator. Inside the cab is a wide adjustable air suspension 

seat with a variety of adjustments for a smooth ride and all day comfort. Climate controls 

improve interior air quality and temperature during long days in the field 

Instruments are easy to read, controls are easy to reach, and vision is clear to the front, rear 

and sides. Many more ergonomic features have been designed into this operator enclosure 

that will assure continued operator comfort, convenience, and protection during long hours of 

operation. 

280-1

Cab Structure 

The cab in the 7400 Series is a 6 post Roll 

Over Protective Structure (ROPS) certified cab. 

It features many deluxe accommodations including 

heater, air conditioning, front windshield 

wiper/washer, front sun visor, one interior 

rear view mirror and two external mirrors. It 

was created with ergonomics and overall operator 

comfort in mind, providing drivers with 

an excellent atmosphere for demanding tasks. 

Stylish Cab Roof 

Features of the cab roof include easy to reach 

HVAC controls, radio access, air re-circulation, 

and an optional cab roof hatch. More headroom 

and forward visibility are made possible 

by relocating the HVAC ducts. It is designed to 

follow the form of other Massey Ferguson 

products, creating a family look for greater customer 

recognition. 

Recessed Cab Steps 

The design of the fuel tank on the 7400 supports 

steps recessed within a molded cavity in 

the fuel tank. This provides a barrier on either 

side of the step to prevent the operator’s foot 

from slipping off the step during entry into the 

cab. In addition, the application of selfcleaning, 

non-skid treads further increases 

footing. 



280-2

Tilt/Telescoping Steering Column 

A lever to the right side of the steering column 

allow operators to adjust the position of the 

steering wheel. By pushing the lever toward 

the dash, the operator can change the tilt of the 

wheel. Pulling the lever toward the seat allows 

adjustment of the telescopic position of the 

steering wheel. 

Turn Signal Lever 

The turn signal incorporates not only the turn 

signal controls, but also allows the operator to 

adjust the front windshield wiper/washer. The 

horn activation button is also located on the 

end of the turn signal lever. 

Standard Air-Ride Swivel Seat 

The standard air-ride swivel seat features eight 

position adjustment controls, adjustable armrests, 

headrest with Massey Ferguson logo, 

and adjustable air suspension support. 

280-3 



Instructor Seat with Seat Belt 

An instructor seat with seat belt is an option 

(required in North America). The seat provides 

an extra wide, padded seat, and a padded 

back rest. When the seat is not in use, it can 

be folded to a storage position. 

Enlarged Field Cooler 

By redesigning the air ducting for the air conditioning 

system, the field cooler has been expanded 

to a capacity of 1.5 liters. This provides 

the operator with additional space for food and 

beverage during long operating days. 

Field Office 

A large field office is located under a convenient 

cover directly behind the instructor seat. 

Incorporated into the field office cover is a 

molded drink holder designed to retain your 

drink over the roughest terrain. 

280-4 



Digital Clock and Outside Temperature Display 

The 7400 Series tractor has a digital clock and 

an outside temperature monitor located directly 

above the exterior lighting touch pad. A single 

button allows the operator to toggle between 

temperature and time. 

Exterior Lighting Touch Pad 

The exterior lighting touch pad is a tractor 

schematic surrounded with touch buttons and 

indicator lights. As the operator selects lighting 

combinations the indicator lights will illuminate. 

This allows the operator to quickly identify 

which external lights have been illuminated. 

Double Bulb Work Lights 

The double bulb work light option adds an 

additional element to the two front cab roof 

lights. 

Xenon Lights 

The optional Xenon lighting package replaces 

the four standard fixtures in the cab roof with 

Xenon fixtures. The Xenon package provides 

up to 30% greater visibility by not only 

providing more light on the work area, but by 

also producing a more pure white light which 

is easier on the eyes than the standard 

halogen package. 



280-5

Extremity Lighting 

Extremity lighting is standard on all tractors 

equipped with long-bar axles. This breakaway 

style light warns other drivers of the 

width of the tractor, and prevents damage to 

the arm or fender in case of striking an object. 

These lights can be folded in for single tire operation 

if needed. 

Rotating Beacons 

Up to two rotating beacons can be installed on 

the 7400 series. The beacons are fixed to the 

top of the roof. The bright rotating beacon provides 

great visibility for large jobs and constructions 

sites. 

Driving Lights 

Two automotive style driving lights are located 

at the front of the tractor. These lights operate 

when the headlight switch is turned to the 

“ON” position. They do not have the brightness 

of the work lights and prevent oncoming 

traffic from being blinded at night while still 

provide superior lighting. 



280-6

Pre-Wired Audio System 

The cab includes all wiring, antenna, and 

speakers for the installation of a radio and/or 

CD player. The radio is not included and must 

be purchased through AGCO Parts. Please 

see your parts marketing catalog for available 

radio options. 

Front Console and Instrument Panel 



The front console and dash feature a comprehensive range of gauges and warning lights. 

These gauges give the operator immediate, detailed information on tractor performance and 

operating conditions. The instrument panel for the 7400 Series tractors feature analog 

gauges for engine rpm, coolant temperature, and fuel level. A digital readout allows the operator 

to toggle between PTO speed, theoretical forward ground speed, engine rpm, and engine 

hours. A panel of warning and indicator lights is positioned across the top of the instrument 

panel. Transmission controls, hazard lighting, ignition switch, and other controls are located 

on either side of the console and on the steering column. 

280-7

Overhead Cab Controls 



The redesigned cab roof for the 7400 series creates ample room for the operator. The most 

visible changes are the addition of domed air vents, a larger field cooler, and the elimination 

of the roof hatch. Also located in this area are controls for air conditioning, heating, defrosting, 

radio and other convenience items. The inside rear-view mirror is also located on the overhead 

console. By concentrating controls overhead, the operator is able to make adjustments 

directly within the line of sight when in the field. 

Right Hand Control Console 

The right hand control console contains logically 

grouped tractor controls that are not included 

in the armrest. Operators will find that 

the levers and switches are grouped according 

to function, and color coded for ease of 

locating and use. The ergonomic design creates 

a comfortable area reducing the amount 

of fatigue associated with repetitive functions. 

280-8

Right Hand Armrest Controls 

The right hand armrest contains some of the 

most commonly used controls. It is attached to 

the air-ride seat so the operator does not have 

to reach. Items common to the armrest include 

speed control, one-touch headland management, 

3-point lift/lower and depth control, remote 

valve control (if equipped), and cruise 

speed activation. Operators enjoy having the 

controls in an easy to use location . 

Cell Phone Holder 

An integrated cell phone holder is molded in 

to the B cab post directly above the instructor 

seat. This eliminates searching to locate the 

cell phone. 



280-9

Automatic Climate Control 

A digital thermostat adjustment is now optional 

on the cab climate control system. The 

digital readout allows the operator to select a 

specific temperature. The HVAC system will 

automatically adjust the fan and temperature 

controls to reach and maintain the desired 

temperature. Seven sensors which are located 

both inside and outside the cab relay 

temperature data back to the digital control 

console. The thermostat is adjustable to read 

within +/- 0.5° in both Celsius and Fahrenheit 

scales. In addition, an internal memory allows 

the system to remember your desired temperature 

at start-up. 

External Mirror Defrost 

By supplying electrical power to the external 

mirrors, the 7400 Series is now able to offer 

electric defrost. This increases operational 

efficiency by allowing quicker starts, without 

scraping ice off mirrors, on cold mornings. In 

addition, mirror defrost eliminates frequent 

stops to clean mirrors when operating in winter 

conditions. 

Power Adjustable Side Mirrors 

One of the options available is the ability to adjust 

exterior mirrors without leaving the operator 

seat. With a design similar to most modern 

cars, the operator can quickly adjust exterior 

mirrors. This saves valuable time when changing 

implements or moving between field and 

road operations. The mirror face features fourposition 

adjustments. The telescopic action of 

the mirror is not electronically adjustable. 



280-10

Dual Stage Pneumatic Cab Suspension 



Massey Ferguson 7400 Series tractors now offer Pneumatic Cab Suspension. This system is 

designed similar to the systems currently used on highway trucks. Two electronically controlled 

air baffles at the rear of the cab constantly maintain a set air pressure as ride conditions 

change. In addition, adjustable hydraulic dampers and pan hard rods are mounted in line with 

the air baffles to eliminate unwanted oscillations. The front of the cab is also isolated from the 

chassis by a dual cushion of rubber. Rubber rollers in addition to rubber mounting pads further 

isolate the cab and reduce both vibration and noise. 

Front Rubber Roller Mounts 

The front of the cab is supported by rubber 

roller mounts. These mounts help to isolate the 

cab structure from the chassis and reduce the 

amount of vibration transferred to the cab. 

This helps to increase operator comfort and 

reduce fatigue from prolonged exposure to vibration. 

280-11

SERVICEABILITY 



Easy access for routine tractor maintenance was an emphasis in the design of the 7400 series. 

The hood may be fully raised from the front of the tractor with the push of a button. Additional 

moving parts make cleaning the radiator, oil cooler, and air conditioning condenser easier. 

Daily service of items such as engine oil level check, engine oil fill, and fuel filter drain can be 

accomplished without raising the hood. Other service points such as transmission oil and 

hydraulic oil can be easily checked. To prevent backsplashes and spills, the tractor features 

ground level fueling with a large inlet. An external cab air filter access hatch and battery box 

makes periodic maintenance easier. 

Finally, the incorporation of a weather-resistant toolbox molded to the side of the fuel tank 

provides storage for tools and accessories outside the tractor. 

290-1

Single Piece Hood 

The simple design of the single-piece hood 

provides operators with fast access to service 

areas. The hood lift height is restricted by a 

tether, but can be removed for even greater 

access to the engine area. Removing the side 

panels provides unobstructed access to the 

engine area. 

Removable Side Panels 

The removable side panels attach at 4 points 

using a friction spring clip. The removable side 

panels provides access to filters, belts and 

other engine components. This design is much 

simpler and takes less time to remove and 

install than previous models. 

Cassette Style Air Cleaner 

All 7400 Series tractors are equipped with a 

cassette style air cleaner which is easily accessed 

when the hood is raised. An aspirated 

system is standard. It draws out the fine dust 

particles from the air cleaner for optimum filter 

life under extreme operating conditions. This 

style air cleaner is designed to trap 20% more 

fine particles than previous filters while providing 

more airflow.

Fuel Filters 

The two fuel filters are only inches apart from 

each other, and easily accessed. The filters are 

set up in a series as a primary and secondary 

system. This helps prevent engine 

contamination from dirty fuel or water. 

Hydraulic Oil Fill 

For Dyna-VT equipped tractors, the hydraulic 

oil fill is located on the right side of the tractor 

next to the steps. The fill is protected by a 

plastic cover that is held in place by a simple 

wing nut. Operators will encounter no 

obstructions from mounted implements or the 

hitch at this location. 

Transmission Oil Fill 

The Dyna-VT fill is located at the rear of the 

tractor where most other tractors have a 

hydraulic fill point. A simple cap with a flexible 

dipstick makes checking and filling painless. 



290-3

Engine Oil Fill 

The engine oil fill is located on the right-hand 

side of the engine. This fill point is just below 

the removable side panel. A large opening and 

low proximity to the ground makes for quick 

and convenient fillings when necessary. 

Cooling Package 

The cooling package for all 7400 series 

tractors contains 5 coolers: engine coolant, 

hydraulic oil, transmission oil, inter-cooler, and 

air conditioner condenser. The package is an 

expandable design which allows more access 

than any other package on the market today. 

Two latches release the package and gas 

charged dampeners assist the expansion 

process. 



290-4

Cab Air Filter Access 

A convenient hatch located on the left side of 

the cab roof provides quick access to the cab 

air filter. This location provides access to the 

filter from outside the operator area and 

eliminates contamination of the cab during 

removal. This provides a clean comfortable 

operator environment. 

Ground-Level Fueling 

The fuel tank can be filled from the left side of 

the cab while standing at ground level. The 

fuel inlet on the tank is oversized to allow for 

proper tank venting and prevent splash-back. 

Removable Toolbox 

A plastic toolbox, molded into the fuel tank, 

provides convenient, weather–resistant storage 

for tools and field supplies. The toolbox is 

equipped with a locking hasp for security. 

Another locking hasp secures the toolbox to 

the tractor. By unlatching one hasp, the toolbox 

is easily removed from the tank for any needed 

task. 



290-5

Convenient Battery Box 

A removable cover provides quick access for 

battery maintenance. This feature saves time 

and reduces downtime. 

Engine Oil Check 

Engine oil levels are easily checked with the 

dipstick located on the right-hand side of the 

engine next to the engine oil fill. 

Hydraulic Fluid Gauge 

The hydraulic fluid level is displayed on a convenient 

sight gauge on the right-hand side of 

the tractor. The gauge is next to the right step 

and power disconnect. This saves time and 

effort as the operator can check the level during 

a simple walk-around. 



290-6

Coolant Level Check 

Engine coolant level is checked at the expansion 

tank. Operators can simply look at the 

level of the coolant in the tank, and compare 

to the markings to see if additional coolant is 

needed. 

Washer Fluid Fill 

The washer fluid fill is located at the rear of 

the tractor on the right hand side [A]. Large 

hand rails are on either side of the rear window 

next to the fill point if needed.

TIRES 



Massey Ferguson 7400 Series tractors use the proven technology of Michelin Tires. Michelin 

provides a wide range of tire sizes to meet almost any application. From narrow row crop tires 

to high capacity flotation tires, Michelin has the tires to meet your needs. 

The taller R1W lug design on the Michelin tire provides continuous gripping power as the tire 

wears. In addition, a greater sidewall flexing zone allows the tire to put more tread on the 

ground. This larger footprint increases flotation and provides greater traction. Finally, Michelin 

tires are approved for use above 25 mph, even under full load. * 

The addition of Michelin tires to your Massey Ferguson tractors will provide increased efficiency, 

reduced slippage, and prolonged tire wear. 

* Tires must be inflated properly. Please read the Agriculture Tire Data Book by Michelin or 

go to www.michelinag.com for complete details and proper inflations values. 

295-1

Radial Ag Tires 

All Michelin Ag tires are of a radial design. The 

advantaged of a radial tire over a bias ply tire is 

the ability to put a larger and more consistent 

footprint on the ground. Most bias ply tires 

have an oval shape footprint while radial tires 

have a rectangular footprint. 

Lug Depth 

The tread type for a Michelin Agribib tire is 

commonly referred to as R1-W. These tires 

have a taller lug than the R1 tires. Michelin has 

designed a sharp vertical lug for the Agribib. 

This allows the tire to maintain traction even 

when the tire has only 30% of the tread left. 

This translates to higher production over a 

longer life than competitive tires. 

Tire Pressure 

Michelin radial Ag tires are designed to be operated 

at air pressures lower than previous 

tires. These lower pressures allow the footprint 

of the tire to lengthen providing more traction 

and less compaction. Often, when a Michelin 

tire is properly inflated it may appear “low” or 

“flat”. It is important to review the tire’s inflations 

chart from Michelin to determine the 

proper air pressure.
