Massey Ferguson 246 DYNATRACK 2WD Price October 2026

The 46 HP MF 246 DYNATRACK 2WD has a configuration detail that deserves more attention than its maximum speed: an extendable VersaTech front axle. TAFE lists a 1935 mm wheelbase for field applications and 2035 mm for haulage. Those are two documented settings, not two measurements to average into a new specification.

Put the axle setting in the purchase record

Ask the dealer which setting will be delivered, who may alter it and what procedure and restrictions the manual gives. Do not assume an adjustment can be made casually between jobs. Record the setting used for any demonstration, because access and turning observations from one configuration should not silently represent the other.

The feature is relevant to a farm that alternates field work and transport, but it does not establish a legal trailer payload or a safe load on a slope. Have the supplier approve the intended combination separately. No towing tonnage is inferred here from wheelbase or engine power.

Try the repeated direction-change task

A fully constant-mesh 12F+12R gearbox, dual-diaphragm clutch and Super Shuttle are listed. Request a demonstration of the complete prescribed forward-to-reverse sequence with the intended operator. Equal forward and reverse gear counts do not tell you which changes are synchronised or when the tractor must stop. The shuttle and synchromesh guide helps frame those questions.

Verify the hitch instead of assuming it from horsepower

The official page describes CAT-1 combi-ball links and 2050 kgf lift with lower links horizontal. For an existing attachment, have the dealer identify the supplied balls, pins and approved loaded setup. Do not assume a larger pin or a different category merely because the tractor is 46 HP.

Manual and power steering appear as alternatives; confirm the option in the quote. If comparing the 254 DYNATRACK, ask what actual requirement the extra engine rating meets. The 246 remains a distinct 46 HP model, not a cheaper price label for the 254. Obtain servicing instructions for the axle, clutch and controls before accepting the machine.

Indicative price in India

TractorKarvan, checked on 4 October 2026, lists ₹7.43–7.88 lakh ex-showroom for this named version. Treat this as an indicative India-wide market range, not a manufacturer quote or a confirmed price for your district and chosen options. Ask a local dealer for the exact equipment list and separate applicable registration, insurance, delivery and other charges in the on-road total.
