Engine
Two quality engines are featured on the 7400 Series. The AGCO Power 66 CTA powers the 7465-7495, while the 74 CTA powers 7497 & 7499. Both of these Tier III compliant engines are designed for efficiency even in the most extreme conditions.
The latest Tier III engines with Electronic Engine Management (EEM) give the 7400 Series increased torque across the speed range and more torque backup, all the way down to 1000 rpm.
Both are wastegate turbo-charged with air-to-air charge cooling. These engines are some of the quietest you've ever experienced-up to 3 decibels quieter than Tier I engines.
Some of the features that have helped establish their record reliability include:
- Separately inserted wet cylinder sleeves to assure easy coolant circulation
- Dual cylinder heads for more room for pre-stressed head bolts to help prevent coolant or combustion leaks
- Cooling ribs on the cylinder sleeve' to give circulating coolant more surface contact for better heat transfer and longer engine life.
- Crossflow design for better fuel economy

Transmission
The Dyna-VT™ continuously variable transmission (CVT) provides infinitely variable speed control from supercreep to transport speed without shifting, jerking or a delay in tractor or power.
Dyna-VT continuously variable transmission (CVT) boasts smooth, infinitely variable speed control from 0-31 mph (50 kph) that offers versatility and precision through innovative technology, sophisticated features, and easy-to-use, straightforward controls.
- Maximum transport speeds of up to 31 mph w/ optional QuadLink™ front suspension
- Creeper speeds as slow as 60 ft/hr standard
- 3 function ‘Pedal Mode’ automatically adjusts engine speed and ground speed as one
- Standard left-hand Power Control lever for seamless forward and reverse shuttling can also be used as an alternative control for speed adjustment.
The left-hand Power Control lever can be used to control both ground speed and travel direction when desired or necessary.
Dyna-VT offers two infinitely variable speed ranges:
0 to 18 mph (0-28 kph) for field applications and 0 to 25 mph (0-40 kph) with the standard front axle or 0 to 31 mph (0-50 kph) with the optional front-axle suspension system.
State-of-the-art Dynamic Tractor Management System coupled with
Dyna-VT™ CVT transmission.
This cooperative combination works like a dream, providing clutchless operation as well as the ability (when Dynamic Tractor Management is activated) to control both the engine speed and transmission ratio automatically. The engine runs at lower speeds, thereby reducing fuel consumption, and automatically analyzes and reacts to the load and power needed for each specific job.

Hydraulics
Closed center pressure flow compensated system provides 29GPM of total flow. Time and Flow is controlled on two electro-hydraulic valves with the remote valve management system (RSM) joystick option.
There are high expectations in a tractor’s hydraulic systems in our ever changing industry. The Massey 7400 series is well up to the task with their three pump hydraulic system.
Three pumps allow the transmission and hydraulic to run off of different reservoirs to avoid any possibility of contamination to the transmission.
* Axial piston pump supplies oil for the remotes
* Second pump supplies oil to the steering , brakes, and oil cooler Third pump supplies oil to the transmission
- Standard three hydraulic remotes, power beyond circuits, and load sensing lines to fit a wide range of applications
- Optional Remote Valve Management System (RMS) comprised of an armrest mounted joystick that controls two electro-hydraulic proportional spool valves. This adds comfort and convenience to the operation.
- Dot Matrix screen adds functionality to the Remote Valve Management System (RMS) by allowing the time and flow to be controlled. No longer does the operator have to hold valves and wait to lift the implement. With Dot Matrix, a simple bump of the joystick in the desired direction will do it automatically.

Operator's Area
Increased comfort means increased efficiency. The spacious cab has the industry leading lowest decibel level. Ergonomically placed cab controls such as the transmission and rear 3pt hitch controls in the armrest.
The MF 7400 cab has been designed to be the quietest cab in the industry, with a rating of 71 decibels. From the comfort of a high efficient cooling and heating system to the second to none, all-around visibility, nothing has been overlooked in the quest to offer farmers what they really need and want.
Just a few features of the cab include:
A tractor systems monitor with indicator lights on a tractor schematic to tell you when a tractor system is engaged or maintenance is needed.
- Digital readouts for exact data on PTO speed, theoretical forward ground speed, engine rpm, and engine hours.
- 61-square feet of visibility
- Easy to read, easy to reach instruments with ergonomically designed console

Serviceability
Easy access to tractor service items added to increased service intervals allows a savings in time and money.
Easy access for routine tractor maintenance was an emphasis in the design of the 7400 series. The hood may be fully raised from the front of the tractor with the push of a button. The expanding cooling package makes cleaning the radiator, oil cooler, and air conditioning condenser as easy as possible.
Daily service of items such as engine oil level check, engine oil fill, and fuel filter drain can be accomplished without raising the hood. Other service points such as transmission oil and hydraulic oil can be easily checked.

3-Point Hitch
Electronic 3-point hitch control offers a choice of "draft-sensing mode" for quick response to changing field conditions, or "position-control mode" for maintaining a preset height or depth.
The Massey Ferguson ILS (Integrated Linkage System) option offers a fully integrated front linkage and PTO system.
The Massey 7400 Series feature an Electronic Lift Control (ELC) 3-point hitch which offers a choice of "draft-sensing mode" for quick response to changing field conditions, or "position-control mode" for maintaining a preset height or depth. Depending on conditions, the 7400 can be set to furnish quick response to changing conditions or maintain a specified depth for implements such as a rear mounted blade.
Other features that make for quick hook-ups:
- Telescopic Lower Links for large mounted implements
- Telescopic Sway Links control side to side movement on all implements
- Adjustable Lift Arms for quick height adjustment
The Massey Ferguson ILS (Integrated Linkage System) option offers a fully integrated front linkage and PTO system. Integrated into the tractor mainframe for greater strength and more compact profile, the front 3-point hitch provides 8,800 lbs. (4,000 kg) of lift capacity, which allows it to handle cultivators, plows, fertilizer tanks, etc.

Accessories
There are many optional features that can be included to set the 7400 Series tractor up to a specific application such as cab suspension, front axle suspension, and Visio roof.
Optional accessories can be added to specify the 7400 to a certain application.
- Automatic Climate Control increases comfort in the cab
- Power Mirrors allow quick adjustment when a different operator enters the cab
- Xenon lights produce 30% more light than standard headlights
- Visio roof for increased view of loader at raised height.

Front Axle & Cab Suspension
Front Axle Suspension for increased ground contact, reduced wheel slippage, and reduced power hop. This provided increased efficiency in the field since the tires stay on the ground.
When towing heavy loads down the road, the front suspension provides greater steering control especially at higher speeds.
- Unlike competitors, this system can be deactivated with a push of a button
- When deactivated, the tractor maintains full +/- 11° oscillation as a regular rigid front axle. This is important for operations such as loader work and grading.
- This simple proven design is easy to maintain, yet will give a solid performance.
Cab Suspension
It’s noticed on the highway trucks; now, it’s noticed as an option on the Massey 7400 series tractors.
The dual stage pneumatic cab suspension helps soak up uneven conditions in the field. This system is proven to smooth out unwanted jolts and vibrations in two different settings of soft and hard.
