Massey Ferguson 6400 series – built in Beauvais, France: MF 6485 A and MF 6490 with six-cylinder engine, 6,596 to 6,598 cm³, 114.1 to 125.1 kW, Dyna transmission
The 6400 series was developed in the 2000s in Beauvais, France, as mid-sized Massey Ferguson standard tractors with a six-cylinder engine. The MF 6485 A and MF 6490 models represent the upper half of this range and were offered with Dyna power-shift transmissions, allowing stepped gear changes under load.

The register lists 2 versions here with 114.1 to 125.1 kW (up to 170 hp) from the six-cylinder diesel engine of 6,596 to 6,598 cm³ displacement, at 2,200 revolutions per minute. Kerb weights range from 6,123 to 6,280 kg, at a gross vehicle weight of 12,000 kg, lengths from 4,986 to 4,989 mm, a width of 2,071 mm, a height of 3,095 mm and torque of 658 Nm.
At this power class, the MF 6485 A and MF 6490 occupied the segment of versatile standard tractors for mid-sized to larger arable farms, competing for market share with John Deere, Case IH and New Holland. The six-cylinder engine and Dyna transmissions also made the range attractive for haulage work with trailers.
When buying used, the electro-hydraulic control of the Dyna transmission and the condition of the clutch packs should be checked, as repairs here can become costly. Radiator, intercooler and rear-axle bearings also deserve attention on these powerful six-cylinders; spare parts are supplied by AGCO through its dealer 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.
