Massey Ferguson 2000 series: the MF 2640 (1980-1985) with a six-cylinder diesel engine, 5,797 cm³ displacement, 104 hp/76.5 kW output and a weight of 5,320 kg
Massey Ferguson was one of the major tractor brands of the second half of the 20th century, covering a wide span of machinery through its model lines, from light farmyard tractors to heavier field tractors. The 2000 series occupied the upper mid-range of that line-up: tractors for operations that needed a strong standard machine for tillage, PTO work and transport, without requiring the highest power classes.

The MF 2640 carries a water-cooled six-cylinder diesel engine with 5,797 cm³ displacement, producing 104 hp, or 76.5 kW, at a rated speed of 2,400 rpm. At 5,320 kg unladen weight, 5,080 mm length and 2,120 mm width, it is a substantial standard tractor whose design top speed of 30 km/h clearly sets it apart from fast transport tractors.
With a top speed of 30 km/h, the MF 2640 falls under Germany's driving licence category T, covering tractors limited by design to 60 km/h. A six-cylinder engine of this displacement class is built for continuous load at low speed, as required by ploughing, cultivating and PTO work in arable farming, rather than for high road speed.
When buying a used six-cylinder diesel of this age, it is worth checking the cooling circuit and the condition of the injection pump, since engines from this period run without electronic control. Hydraulic hoses, clutch wear and the rear axle bearings also deserve a close look given the 5,320 kg weight.

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.
