The 2000er-Baureihe, zweite Generation series from Massey Ferguson includes the MF 2720 A. Production: 1982–1985. The engine delivers 154 hp (113.3 kW), has 6 cylinders, with a displacement of 5,797 cm³. Torque is 493 Nm. Rated speed is 2,400 rpm. The machine is 4,810 mm long, 2,430 mm wide and 2,860 mm high. The unladen weight is 6,140 kg. The wheelbase measures 2,726 mm. Ground clearance is 490 mm. Top speed is 35 km/h. Transmission: 16V/12R. The engine is water-cooled. Tyres: front 16.9-28 AS, rear 20.8-38 AS. The fuel is diesel. The bore measures 98.48 mm. The stroke is 127 mm. Maximum torque is reached at 1,600 rpm. Construction: unit construction (no separate frame). Injection pressure is 180 bar. The 2000er-Baureihe, zweite Generation series covers 4 models. Rated output within it ranges from 96 to 154 hp; the MF 2720 A sits at the top of that range with 154 hp. Its immediate neighbours are the MF 2680 below it with 120 hp. Unladen weight within it ranges from 4,800 to 6,140 kg; here the MF 2720 A sits at the top of that range with 6,140 kg. 1668 Massey Ferguson models across 56 series are on record.

Massey Ferguson 2620 to 2720 A – the second generation of the 2000 series from Beauvais: six-cylinders of 5,797 cm³, 70.7 to 113.3 kW, up to 6,140 kg unladen weight

The MF 2620, MF 2640 Turbo, MF 2680 and MF 2720 A form the second generation of the Massey Ferguson 2000 series, built by AGCO in Beauvais, France. All four models share the same six-cylinder block of 5,797 cm³, stepped through naturally aspirated, turbocharged and the top 2720 A version; the last two digits of the type code order the power step within the range. Beauvais had already built Massey Ferguson's earlier six-cylinder ranges, so the 2000 series could draw on established engine and transmission production.

The register lists 4 versions with 70.7 to 113.3 kW from six-cylinders of a consistent 5,797 cm³. Unladen weights range from 4,800 to 6,140 kg, lengths from 4,700 to 5,080 mm, widths from 2,120 to 2,430 mm and heights from 2,810 to 2,860 mm; torque sits between 352 and 493 Nm at rated speeds of 2,000 to 2,400 rpm, all with diesel engines.

The 2000 series occupied the big-tractor class of the 1990s between the more compact MF 200 series and the articulated 4000 series, competing directly with the big Ford and John Deere field tractors of the period. The turbocharged 2640 extended the range upward without enlarging the displacement.

On used examples of the second-generation 2000 series, turbocharger and injection-pump condition, transmission and shuttle shift, hydraulic output for heavy mounted implements and rust on cab and mudguards count; parts run through the AGCO 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.
