Massey 3060 MFWD.......anybody got one?

MF rules · Dec 26, 2015

I've located a nice MF 3060 front wheel drive cab tractor which would be perfect for running a 15foot batwing mower. Currently running a new MF 5612 which is very nice but had some ongoing problems and quite frankly I'm getting sick of all these emissions the EPA is pushing on us......gonna cost a lot to keep these tractors running every year! Looking to go old school again......simpler is better!

My question.......what is the horsepower rating on this tractor?
I would need minimum 100 horsepower to run batwing w easy......is this tractor capable?
What engine they run in this tractor?
How reliable is this tractor......parts still easy to obtain thru dealers/aftermarket sources?
Thanks

It is light on horsepower for your needs. It only comes in at 77 hp at the flywheel,68 at the pto, also bear in mind Perkins was a little over generous with their ratings. Real world HP about 72-75 at the flywheel,more like 62-64 at the pto. Then you have AGCO's lack of product support,and ridiculous pricing on what is available....but it's your nickle

Same engine as a 185 /590 . A bit small for a 15 foot mower I guess
