Recorded operating weight runs from 2,385 to 3,880 kg, wheelbase from 2,130 to 2,609 mm, and top speed of the listed models is 30 km/h.
The 4200 series targeted smaller and medium farms and was replaced in 2001 by the technically updated 4300 series. For a used model, the exact engine matters most, as the series ranged from compact three-cylinder to larger six-cylinder models.
With rated outputs from 38 to 81 kW, the 4200 series fell within the ISO 730 Category II range for the rear three-point hitch, complemented by a standard dual-speed power take-off at 540 and 1,000 revolutions per minute. Engines from the 1997 to 2001 production years predated the emissions stages with exhaust gas recirculation, particulate filters and SCR technology that shaped later tractor generations in this class.
In farming practice the series, fitted with front and rear implements, mowers and light tillage equipment, covered the daily work of smaller and medium farms. Massey Ferguson remains part of the AGCO group today, so spare parts for the engine, gearbox and hydraulics of this series run through the existing AGCO parts network.

What to check before buying
- Check the hour meter against the service records — a replaced instrument is the most common gap.
- Compare the data plate and chassis number with the papers.
- Check the weights in the papers against the figures here — attachments change them.
- Check front and rear tyre sizes: mismatched pairs strain the drivetrain.
- Shift the gearbox cold and warm — jumps only show up at temperature.
- Load the hydraulics and watch for sag.
- Ask about parts availability for this build year — the running costs hang on it.
