Massey Ferguson Unveils New Tractors at Fieldays
Long-term exhibitor at Fieldays, AGCO and its Massey Ferguson brand, have several new products on display.
Designed to replace the outgoing 5700 and 6700 Global Series, the six-model MF 5M series range has struck a chord with farmers looking for a tractor that balances capability with mechanical simplicity in the competitive 95hp to 145hp utility segment.
A key driver has been the ability to tailor the machine to its environment, be that a market garden in Pukehohe, or a Southland dairy farm, either in open platform or cabin configurations.
ROPS versions are available on models from the 95hp through to the 125hp, offering excellent visibility and easy access for operators constantly on and off the seat. Those needing protection from the elements can choose the cab option for a comfortable workspace, with updated climate control and a flat floor design, in all models the 135hp and 145hp models, sold exclusively as cab units.
The philosophy of “your spec” extends to the transmission, from the simplicity the 12x12 Synchro Shuttle gearbox offering a robust mechanical solution, or for those undertaking loader work or road transport, the Dyna 4 transmission. Available on cab models from 105hp upwards and standard fitment on the flagship 145hp model, the Dyna 4 offers 16 forward and 16 reverse speeds with clutchless shifting.
A key feature of Dyna 4 is Brake to Neutral, where the system automatically disengages the drive when the brake pedal is pressed and re-engages when released. This solution lends itself to repetitive loader cycles, significantly reducing operator fatigue and wear on clutch components. Powered by a 4.4 litre, four-cylinder AGCO Power engine, with a Tier 3 emissions rating, the configuration avoids the need for AdBlue or complex exhaust aftertreatment systems, offering a straightforward diesel-only operation, complemented by a 198- litre fuel tank for working long days without stopping to refuel.
At the business end of the tractor, the standard hydraulic system is sufficient for general tasks, with the added choice of an optional 100 litre per minute combined flow system. By merging the flow from two pumps, this option means rapid loader response, even at low engine rpm. For operators stacking bales at height, the optional Visio Roof provides a glass panel in the roofline to maintain visibility of the load at full extension.

Keeping up with existing or emerging technologies, farmers can equip a 5M tractor with the Fieldstar 5 terminal, unlocking further features, alongside the ability to specify options such as full ISOBUS connectivity and MF Guide automated steering if guidance ready is also specified. This allows the utility tractor to perform precision tasks such as fertiliser spreading or spraying with the same accuracy as larger, arablefocused machines. Visit www.masseyferguson.com
