Five new, 3- and 4-cylinder MF 5600 series models from Massey Ferguson are purpose built to deliver exactly the right specification for the 85-120hp sector. 

The new MF 5600 series are built ‘loader ready’: models come with a factory-fitted sub-frame and a wide range of novel features and controls to ease and enhance operation.

Available in three power sizes (85-100hp), the 3-cylinder 5600 models are powered by AGCO Power engines and are based on the current 2.4m wheelbase chassis. Available with the maker’s Essential specification cabs, these models all have the simple, reliable Dyna-4 16x16 transmission.

The larger 110hp and 120hp models again use AGCO Power engines, but in a 4-cylinder configuration with a new larger 2.55m chassis. These two models are available in Essential cab specification with a Dyna-4 transmission, while the Efficient specification upgrade comes with the Dyna-6 24x24 transmission. Both the Essential and Efficient models have the completely new front axle suspension option designed and manufactured by Massey Ferguson. 

With maximum (ISO) power of 85, 95, 105, 110 and 120hp, the MF 5600 series offers a choice to meet all customers’ specific requirements in this important market sector which appears to be expanding rapidly.
