It has a three-point hitch at the back for attaching tools and two PTO speeds (540 and 1000 rpm) for powering equipment. The hydraulic system is open center type, common in older tractors. The Massey Ferguson 1080 has an open operator station, so there's no enclosed cab. It has useful features like differential lock and disc brakes. The tractor is 154 inches long and 86.5 inches wide, with big rear tires that are 34 inches tall. This tractor is a good choice for farmers who need a reliable machine for row crop work and don't need the most powerful engine.
