Massey Ferguson MF 8600: the MF 8690 with a six-cylinder diesel engine, 8,400 cm³ displacement, 340 hp/250 kW output, 1,540 Nm torque and an unladen weight of 10,300 kg
Within Massey Ferguson's line-up, the MF 8600 series formed the class of heavy field tractors for large-scale farms that need high pulling power for wide tillage implements and heavy trailers. Tractors of this size sit at the upper end of the standard-tractor market, before crawler or system tractors take over.

The MF 8690 carries a water-cooled six-cylinder diesel engine with 8,400 cm³ displacement, producing 340 hp, or 250 kW, at a rated speed of 2,200 rpm, with 1,540 Nm of torque. At an unladen weight of 10,300 kg and a permissible gross weight of 18,000 kg, there is ample margin for implements and ballast, and the design top speed of 50 km/h allows brisk road transport between fields.
At 50 km/h, the MF 8690 sits at the upper limit of what Germany's driving licence category T allows for tractors up to 60 km/h, well above the speed of classic field tractors. A six-cylinder engine of 8.4 litres with 1,540 Nm of torque is built for pulling power at low revs, as demanded by large cultivators, ploughs and trailers under full load.
On a heavy six-cylinder field tractor of this power class, it is worth checking the clutch and gearbox for wear from full-load operation, and the condition of the hydraulic pumps supplying implements and auxiliary circuits. Tyre condition and axle bearings are further key checks before purchase, given a weight of over 10 tonnes.

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.
