Massey Ferguson Reveals Ethanol-Powered Tractor Engine Concept at Agrishow 2026
Given that current diesel pricing is a bit like a ride on a fairground roller coaster, it should be no surprise to hear that manufacturers are looking for alternatives.
Equipped with the latest spur gear cutter-bar and a conditioner as standard, the latter is offered with the choice of the tined KC version or the RC roller option, which features drive to both rollers and a more aggressive steel-on-steel option for heavier crops such as lucerne.
Pro models offer ISOBUS control, allowing users to automate functions or adjust conditioning intensity to match the crop and produce a uniform dry matter content.
Pro models can also connect the front and rear mowing units, offering manual or automatic side shift for the front mower, helping to reduce missed areas on hills or sidling land.
In operation, the system automatically adjusts ground pressure, via MF’s Turbo- Lift, in relation to the rear mower. GPS section control lifts the mower on the headland to avoid previously worked areas, while the rear mower automatically raises and centres when reversing.
All Pro models are also be optioned with a belt grouper that transfers crop to the centre.
