Massey Ferguson Unveils New Tractors at Fieldays
Long-term exhibitor at Fieldays, AGCO and its Massey Ferguson brand, have several new products on display.
Offering five new models, from 105hp to 145hp, the range continues the striking new era design introduced on the new MF 8S Series.
With all round visibility and a 4m turning radius, combined with a narrow steepnosed bonnet and a 2.55m wheelbase, the range should make for useful loader tractors. Other plus points include a greater payload and higher rear linkage capacity.
All models are equipped with four-cylinder AGCO Power engines, with a choice of Essential and Efficient specifications, plus a range of options including easy to use Smart Farming technology.
For arable and mixed farming operations, MF 5S tractors offer a rear linkage capacity of 5,700kg across the range, rising to 6,000kg in some models, while the new front linkage capacity rises to 3,000kg and gross vehicle weight climbs to 9,500kg.
The AGCO Power 4.4 litre engines meet Stage V emissions regulations with the MF All-in-One technology, containing the SCR system, DOC and soot catalyst in one compact unit, neatly housed under the cab. Transmission choices are MF’s 16x16 speed, Dyna-4 or 24x24 Dyna-6, semi-powershift transmissions, both featuring the Braketo- Neutral function. On Efficient models, Auto- Drive is standard and provides automatic changing of the four or six steps in fieldwork, as well as the ranges when in transport, controlled via the Multipad joystick.

Essential versions with Dyna-4 have T-Lever transmission control with Speedmatching, which automatically selects the most appropriate powershift ratio for the speed when gears are changed. Dyna-6 models come with AutoDrive.
All models are equipped with a high specification cab, including a new HVAC air system that maintains a constant temperature, while also reducing demisting and defrosting times.
Efficient tractors carry over the armrest from the 8S series, allowing control of the forward/reverse shuttle, linkage and spool valves. The Multipad can also be equipped with a micro joystick to operate two rear spool valves (or any other spool valve when Datatronic 5 is fitted). Loaders are operated by a separate joystick that sits alongside the Multipad.
Datatronic 5 offers intuitive operation and is standard on Exclusive models and an option on others. This ISOBUS compatible touch-screen operator information station monitors all the tractor functions and controls any ISOBUS compliant implement.
