FEATURES AND BENEFITS
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 Fergu-
son 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 con-
sists of four pistons and an inlet control valve.
Oil flow can be controlled more precisely
when it is not under pressure, so the Fergu-
son pump controls the amount of oil going into
the pump.
By only supplying oil to the pump
when needed, the power requirement is mini-
mized and heat build up is reduced.
The
pump is submerged in oil to provide lubrica-
tion 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 heav-
ier which creates better traction.
