Massey Ferguson (MF) has announced key new developments to its online 10+ Parts catalogue for older tractors. 10+ Live enables customers using older MF tractors to find and identify a comprehensive range of the most important and frequently used parts for their machines, according to the company.

With the latest updates to the website, visitors can now search for their favourite MF heritage tractors and register online to see prices, place enquiries with their preferred MF dealer and have access to special offers and product updates.

The website is designed to be phone and tablet friendly. You can view the catalogue and register on http://10plus.masseyferguson.com.

The 10+ Parts range covers parts for MF tractors that have been out of production for at least 10 years. Typically, these include MF 100, MF 200, MF 300 MF500, MF 2000, MF 3000, MF 4200 and MF 6100 series.

There are also a limited number of key service and repair parts on the website catalogue covering more recent machines, such as the MF 6200, MF 8200, MF 5400 and MF 6400 (Tier 2) tractor ranges. 

The company said the parts are not a second line, but the original MF engineering-approved parts for these older machines.

The range recognises the specific requirements for older models and is claimed to provide an economical repair solution, allowing users to maintain their machines at peak performance.
