Massey Ferguson 4200 series: the MF 4225 (A) (1997-2001) with a four-cylinder diesel engine, 4,070 cm³ displacement, 65 hp/47.8 kW output and a weight of 3,490 kg
In the 1990s, Massey Ferguson's 4200 series occupied the mid power class of standard tractors, aimed at farms that needed a manoeuvrable yet sufficiently strong tractor for tillage, front-loader work and transport, without the purchase cost of a heavier line.

The MF 4225 (A) has a water-cooled four-cylinder diesel engine with 4,070 cm³ displacement, producing 65 hp, or 47.8 kW, at a rated speed of 2,200 rpm. At 3,490 kg, with a 2,350 mm wheelbase, 3,850 mm length and 1,990 mm width, it is noticeably more compact than six-cylinder lines from the same maker, while sharing the same design top speed of 30 km/h.
A top speed of 30 km/h places the MF 4225 (A) in Germany's driving licence category T. A four-cylinder engine of just over 4 litres delivers, at low revs, enough torque for tillage and PTO work without the maintenance and fuel demands of a six-cylinder unit.
On a tractor from the late 1990s, it is worth checking the hydraulic system for leaks and inspecting the front axle bearings, especially if a front loader has been fitted. Corrosion on load-bearing panels and clutch condition are also important checks at an age of more than twenty years. Service history for oil and filter changes is worth reviewing too, since neglected maintenance on a tractor of this class tends to show up first as premature wear of the injection pump.

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.
