FRAME AND AXLES
FRAMES AND AXLES
All 2600 Series tractors are available in either 2WD or 4WD configurations. Depending on
which front axle you choose, you can rest assure that your 2600 can handle itself in any condition. The long wheelbase increases weight transfer where good tractive performance for
draft work and hauling are important. Stability on hillsides is also increased which is essential
when pulling heavier implements. Having a longer wheelbase provides a more spacious operating environment as well, making a long day in the field an enjoyable experience.
TREAD SETTINGS
A 2WD Massey Ferguson® 2600 comes
equipped with rugged box section front axle.
A box section front axle allows you to adjust
the tread setting in and out as desired. The
adjustments can be made in 4” increments.
The front axle adjustments allow the operator
to set his MF2600 up for row crop conditions.

3 POINT HITCH, PTO & DRAWBAR
3 POINT HITCH
The Ferguson System has been used for over six decades in Massey Ferguson® tractors.
The system is very dependable, rugged, simple, efficient and easy to use. By using an inlet
controlled scotch yoke piston pump and a few ingenious 3-point linkage designs, the Ferguson System offers effective, efficient and precise control of the 3-point hitch.
FERGUSON PUMP
Located in the center housing and driven by
the PTO drive line, the Ferguson Pump consists of four pistons and an inlet control valve.
Oil flow can be controlled more precisely
when it is not under pressure, so the Ferguson pump controls the amount of oil going into
the pump. By only supplying oil to the pump
when needed, the power requirement is minimized and heat build up is reduced. The
pump is submerged in oil to provide lubrication and heat dissipation as well as ensuring
longer pump life.
3 POINT LINKAGE
The 3 point linkage on the Massey Ferguson®
2600 Series tractor is designed to enhance
the accuracy and efficiency of the Ferguson
System. The draft arms are attached to the
tractor in front of and below the rear axle. As
draft increases, the position of the draft arms
acts to pull the front end of the tractor down.
This downward pull makes the front end heavier which creates better traction.
340-1
Page 35
3 POINT HITCH, PTO & DRAWBAR
DRAFT
Draft control allows the 3 point hitch draft
arms to maintain a consistent draft (or resistance to pull). As field conditions change, the
draft setting control will automatically raise or
lower the implement, improving tractor and
implement field performance.
FEA TURES AND BENEFITS
POSITION CONTROL
Position control is used with implements that
require a constant working depth or 3 point
height relative to the tractor. In use, this will
give a constant cutting depth when rotary cutting or maintain constant height with a scraper
blade.

FEA TURES AND BENEFITS
3 POINT HITCH, PTO & DRAWBAR
POWER TAKE OFF (PTO)
The PTO system integrated into the new 2600 Series is designed to achieve 540 RPM at an
engine speed which is lower than the speed at which the engine is rated. This allows the engine to run at a higher torque rating under PTO load, helping prevent lug down and the need
to change ground speed. When your engine runs at a lower speed, it requires less fuel which
lowers your cost to run the machine. These lower speeds also improve the longevity of the
engine and drive line. You can choose between live or independent PTO for all three models
of the Massey Ferguson® 2600.
LIVE PTO
Live PTO, available on all models, utilizes a
dual stage foot clutch to control both the
transmission and the PTO. The lower, or second, stage of the foot clutch pedal travel disengages the smaller clutch, which is splined
to the PTO shaft and stops the PTO shaft as
well as tractor travel. The PTO driveline has a
sliding coupler that engages or disengages
the output shaft. The live PTO allows the operator to engage the PTO and bring the PTO
driven implement up to operating speed before starting tractor travel.
INDEPENDENT PTO
Independent PTO (IPTO) is a feature available on all 3 models of the MF2600. IPTO
uses a split torque transmission clutch with a
continuously driven PTO shaft. Drive to the
IPTO output shaft is controlled by a hydraulic
clutch pack, which is actuated by an electronic
on/off control. This allows the PTO to be engaged/disengaged at any time with the push
of a button. The hydraulic PTO clutch provides modulation during start up, which reduces the shock load on the implement.
