Massey Ferguson 5600: the 5609 (built 2012) with a three-cylinder diesel engine, 3,300 cm³ displacement, 90 hp/67 kW output and a weight of 4,200 kg
In Massey Ferguson's 2010s line-up, the 5600 series sat as a compact all-purpose tractor between smaller farmyard machines and large field tractors with more than four cylinders. Series of this kind target mixed farms that need a single tractor for forage harvesting, transport and light field work.

The 5609 carries a three-cylinder diesel engine with 3,300 cm³ displacement, producing 90 hp, or 67 kW, at a rated speed of 2,200 rpm. At 4,200 kg, 4,253 mm length and 2,747 mm height, it is a compact yet strong tractor whose design top speed of 40 km/h also suits it for shorter road transport runs.
At a top speed of 40 km/h, the 5609 also falls under Germany's driving licence category T for tractors up to 60 km/h, though it sits at the upper end of typical field-tractor speeds. A three-cylinder engine of 3.3 litres is more compact and lighter than a four-cylinder unit of the same power class, at a somewhat higher load per cylinder.
When buying a used three-cylinder common-rail diesel of this age, it is worth checking the exhaust after-treatment system and the electronics, since modern engine controls are more fault-prone than older mechanical injection. The condition of the cab, hydraulic couplings and tyres also belongs on the checklist for a tractor of this use class, since wear there is easy to overlook on a quick test drive.

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.
- 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.
