Massey Ferguson 9240

[Rabbit Wolverine]

I've always had a soft spot for these, and a local dealer has just had one come in.
They look like they could be cheap hp and a bit of a bruiser, has anyone got any experience with them?
Thinking maybe use it for drilling and grain hauling

Seen a few vids on U tube ,mostly on the continent or south Americas .
They didnt catch on in the uk for some reason

 

[Lincs Lass]

I might be wrong but werent these built with a Valmet engine roughly around the same time when MF combines were coming out of the Droniberg factory

I think they had a Cummins block, David Brown rear axle and Funk powershift gearbox, would they be 40 kph?

 

[Lincs Lass]

would they be 40 kph?

At best ,,

 

[Lincs Lass]

one of the last made will be 20 yrs old ,made between 95-98
Yes a cummins block and abit less than 40kph

Cummins engine mated to a a DB rear axle. Only 12 sold in the UK. All had electronic linkage controls, except one that came here first, and was used on a Dowdeswell power Harrow at demo' days.
Farm near here had one, and like most American tractors that come here, it couldn't take the UK style of heavy draft work.
Robert Fearnly had one, but sold it last year.
Quite like them myself.

Which dealer has it ? Just out of interest.

years ago, I can't remember

 

[Rusty#1]

Not my tractor but have had a drive a few times, from memory it's the one without electric linkage controls, very low hours

 

[Deerefarmer]

Sold in these two colors in the states, later morphed into one orange line for a few years, along with the 8400 series Mf, then both were replaced by the 8600 series Mf,

i went to that sale, they were emigrating to canada if i remember rightly. I remember that tractor ,dont think it made very much. i bought a 12 month old 6m power for 5k most people was afraid of the size of it at the time, i would guess best part of 20 years ago

What are they like to drive...and to fix?

Someone told me they were fantastic to watch when calibrating the transmission, chock the wheels and hope for the best he said.
