AGCO Massey Ferguson 8400 series – large tractors from Beauvais: MF 8450 to 8480 with a six-cylinder, 7.4 to 8.4-litre displacement, 158 to 213 kW and up to 9,725 kg unladen weight

The 8400 series forms Massey Ferguson's upper power class at the Beauvais plant. Massey Ferguson has belonged to the AGCO group since 1994, which builds the brand's large field tractors at Beauvais. The four models MF 8450, 8460, 8470 and 8480 are staggered by rising power through the last two digits of their designation and all carry a six-cylinder diesel engine with a uniform rated speed of 2,200 rpm.

The register lists 4 versions with 158 to 213 kW from six-cylinders with 7,368 to 8,419 cm³ displacement. Unladen weights range from 9,040 to 9,725 kg, lengths from 5,240 to 5,320 mm at a uniform width of 2,550 mm, and heights from 3,100 to 3,190 mm.

With outputs above 200 kW, the 8400 series counts among the large standard tractors for farms with high draft-power needs and heavy mounted implements, such as tillage with wide cultivators and ploughs. Competitors in this segment include John Deere, Case IH and Fendt. It is used mainly for tillage, sowing, transport work and powering trailed harvesting machinery.

When buying used, the operating hours on the six-cylinder, the condition of the lift hydraulics and PTO, the tightness of turbocharger and intercooler, and wear on the front axle and tyres all matter. Spare parts run through the AGCO and Massey Ferguson dealer network. It is also worth checking the on-board electronics, cab mounting and seat suspension, and tyre tread depth.

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.
