Mcconnell Massey Ferguson 5200
1 model in this series
MF 5200: an articulated four-wheel-drive tractor with a six-cylinder diesel engine producing 276 kW (375 hp), an unladen weight of 16,329 kg, a 12-forward/4-reverse gearbox and matching tyres on both axles.
The MF 5200 is built as an articulated, four-wheel-drive tractor: both axles carry tyres of the same size, and steering is achieved through a pivot joint at the centre of the machine rather than a steered front axle. This layout is common on very powerful field tractors that need to spread their drawbar pull over as large a tyre contact area as possible.

The MF 5200 is powered by a water-cooled six-cylinder diesel engine with 14,000 cm3 displacement, producing 276 kW (375 hp). The gearbox offers 12 forward and 4 reverse gears. Front and rear are fitted with the same 20.8R-38 tyre size, at an unladen weight of 16,329 kg and a wheelbase of 3,470 mm.
With a six-cylinder engine of 14 litres, 276 kW of power and a weight over sixteen tonnes, the MF 5200 belongs to the top class of articulated field tractors, used for tilling large arable areas with very wide cultivators, disc harrows and heavy ploughs. Equal-sized tyres on both axles spread the drawbar pull evenly and reduce ground pressure at this weight.
When buying an articulated tractor of this class, the articulation joint itself is the most important check point: play in its bearings and steering cylinders causes uneven tyre wear and poor tracking. Also check the six-cylinder engine for oil consumption and boost pressure, the 12-speed gearbox for shifting behaviour under load, and all four matching tyres for even wear, which indicates balanced axle loads.
