The 7S Series tractors comprises six models offering maximum power outputs from 145hp to 210hp.
Recently launched into the Australian and New Zealand markets, the new Massey Ferguson 7S Series tractors comprises six models offering maximum power outputs from 145hp to 210hp.
Displaying clear model designations, the MF 7S.145, MF 7S.155, MF 7S.165, MF 7S.180, MF 7S.190 and MF 7S.210 denote the maximum horsepower available. Meanwhile, up to an extra 30hp is available with Engine Power Management (EPM) – depending on the model.
Configured with a 2.88m wheelbase and sixcylinder, 6.6-litre engine, the manufacturer suggests the new tractors form the perfect bridge between the larger MF 8S Series, powered by 7.4 litre engines. Offered in a choice of Essential and Efficient specifications and, depending on model, features are designed to provide a range of comfort and output-enhancing features to boost productivity and performance in the field and on the road. For simplicity, Massey Ferguson continues to offer the range in Tier 2 emissions for straightforward, dependable operation and a low cost of ownership.

The MF 7S series includes a new armrest, multi-pad controller and enhanced connectivity. |
Transmission choices include the Dyna-VT ECO, offering seamless shifting and is available on all models. The Super Eco version of the Dyna- VT further improves efficiency by allowing the tractor to achieve 40km/h at just 1,450rpm. Dyna-VT now also features a new automatic mode, allowing operators to use the multipad lever or foot pedal to alter forward speed. This automatically sets the optimum engine speed according to the load and speed, delivering smoother operation and improving fuel efficiency.
Alternatively, for all models up to the MF 7S.180, there is the choice of the Dyna-6 Super Eco, 24 x 24 semi-powershift transmission. Proven over the last two decades, this configuration achieves a top speed of 40km/h at a low 1,500rpm to save fuel. Automatic Mode, standard on all Dyna-6 models, automatically shifts speeds relative to the engine load and speed, while the operator can also manually set the engine rpm at which change points are made.
The transmission also incorporates a brake-toneutral function. Meanwhile, for those working with specialised crops, a Super Creeper option delivers speeds down to 70m/hr at 1,400rpm.
Significant cab improvements, first seen on the MF 8S series, include a new armrest, multi-pad controller and enhanced connectivity. Thanks to a new air conditioning system, the cab is now up to 4C° cooler than previously. It also features new, high quality trim with a chrome steering wheel and black dashboard on Efficient versions. Air-suspended seats are standard, with the option to upgrade to a heated option, that also incorporates improved ventilation and a Dynamic Damping System.

Externally, an LED light design and bonnet lightbar takes care of work after dark. There is also the option to fit up to 16 LED work lights, and for loader operations there is the option of the Visio Roof, for better visibility.
Further comfort-based options include mechanical or active mechanical cab suspension, as well as a suspended front axle. A new, unique multifunction lever option provides easy control of a loader and front linkage, operation of the spool valves and directional changes.
With its 2.88m wheelbase and sculpted chassis, the MF 7S Series offers a turning radius of just 4.93m and an impressive 44.5t gross combination weight. Rear linkage lift capacities are 9,600kg with 4,000kg up front, while a gross vehicle weight (GVW) of up to 14 tonnes make the tractors suitable for front and rear combinations.

Massey Ferguson has announced a strategic supply partnership with International Tractors Limited (ITL), a manufacturer of low-horsepower and compact tractors, with recognised brands such as Sonalika and Sollis, to expand its portfolio with a new tractor range.
With the biannual Italian EIMA machinery Expo less than a month away, Case IH has taken out a Technical Evolution award for the Advanced Vehicle Suspension system available on its Optum 360–440 series tractors.
The Advanced Vehicle Suspension system, available on Optum 360, 390, and 440 models, responds to changing conditions, automatically adjusting how the suspension reacts to absorbs shocks and controlling vehicle movement.
In operation, sensors monitor the vibrations transmitted from the tractor chassis to the operator cabin, allowing the system to adjust suspension damping in real time. The control system incorporates key priorities, such as comfort at lower speeds and stability as speed increases, while also reacting to factors such as lower tyre pressures, where the tyres absorb more of the initial shock.
Case IH said as suspension requirements change throughout the working day, as tractors move between the paddock and road transport, the system manages suspension response in the background as tasks, speeds and conditions change, leaving the operator without the need to make manual adjustments.
Richard Hollins, Optum series tractors global product manager, said: “Pioneering technology must earn its place in the working day. Farmers and contractors will judge an investment by what it delivers, including manageable ownership costs, dependable up-time and the versatility to tackle different jobs. With AVS, we are putting intelligent control to work for comfort and stability, without giving the operator another setting to manage.”
Organised by FederUnacoma, the Italian Agricultural Machinery Manufacturers Federation, the contest has been part of EIMA since 1986, with the Technical Evolution distinction awarded to products that introduce original improvements to solutions already manufactured or patented.
