Australian Tractor Test Report No. 41 : The Massey-Ferguson 135, G H. Vasey, F. T. Baillie

Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4

THE Massey-Ferguson MF-135 is a general purpose tractor of 31 drawbar horsepower. It has 14.9 x 24 pneumatic tyres, and a three-speed gear box with a ratio change which, in the standard model, gives six forward and two reverse gears.

The model tested was also fitted with the optional "Multipower" facility, which gives an "on-the-go" shift to a higher speed for each gear, thus providing 12 forward and four reverse gears.

Tractor Testing In Australia. Part 2, G H. Vasey, W. F. Baillie

Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4

AUSTRALIAN test procedures, though differing: in some details, and in some ways going further and telling more about the tractor, conform in essentials to overseas standards.

The tests are in four main parts—

(a) the physical properties of the tractor;

(b) the power of the engine, and its stationary outlets—the belt and the p.t.o;

(c) the power on the drawbar when working on a formalised test surface or track;

(d) the reliability of the tractor when running under test, and its condition after the test.

Tractor Testing In Australia, G H. Vasey, W. F. Baillie

Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4

AUSTRALIA is one of several countries that have set up "official" tractor testing schemes.

These schemes mean testing stations that, while providing a testing service for both the manufacturing industry and the consumer, in effect mainly the farming industries, are independent of either.
