The MF 244 DI SONA is a 44 HP, three-cylinder model with a 2500 cc engine and a 10-forward,2-reverse gearbox. Its useful distinction for a buyer is the complete equipment combination: dual clutch, oil-immersed brakes and a choice of steering equipment. Do not transfer the gear count or quoted price from another 244 variant.

Choose steering for the operator's real routine

Manual steering is listed, with power steering optional. If the tractor will repeatedly enter short plots or manoeuvre with an approved mounted attachment, arrange a demonstration with the intended operator. Compare the actual effort and control access on the quoted version. A price for manual steering and a demonstration on a power-steering machine are not the same offer.

Examine the working ratios rather than adding gears

Ten forward choices do not establish a suitable ratio for every implement. Ask for the speed chart and identify a usable ground speed at the required PTO setting. The published Quadra PTO specification gives 540 shaft rpm at 1906 engine rpm. Obtain the delivered system's instructions for every mode; the feature name alone does not approve any attachment or operating sequence. Our PTO compatibility guide separates engine and shaft speed.

A narrower measurement still needs a route check

The official overall width is 1640 mm. That is a useful screening dimension for a shed or field entrance, not an orchard-clearance guarantee. Measure the complete combination, including the implement and the turn into the opening. The published 1700 kgf hydraulic lift is also not a blanket permitted attachment mass; have the supplier confirm the loaded geometry and hitch.

Compare a complete purchase

Keep the existing MF 241 DI Maha Shakti on the shortlist if it meets your work, but request current specifications for both machines instead of assuming nearby model numbers imply the same controls. Ask the 244 dealer for the included accessories, local service requirements and consumables prices. Neither engine displacement nor the 55-litre tank establishes fuel consumption per acre.

Indicative price in India

TractorKarvan, checked on 4 October 2026, lists ₹6.49–6.94 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.

Our verdict: Massey Ferguson 244 DI SONA

Verdict by the Aglist editorial desk

Shortlist the 244 DI SONA for its actual steering and working-speed package. The additional ratios are useful only when they match the attachment and operator; compare a written configuration, not the 244 badge alone.

Massey Ferguson 244 DI SONA — Frequently asked questions

Is power steering standard on the 244 DI SONA?

The Indian manufacturer page lists manual steering with power steering optional. Specify the chosen version in writing.

Does 10F+2R mean twelve forward gears?

No. It means ten forward and two reverse ratios. Ask which working ratios suit the implement.

Is the 1640 mm width a guaranteed orchard fit?

No. Verify the delivered tractor, attachment and turning route rather than relying on a bare-tractor dimension.
