Massey Ferguson to showcase tractors and grass kit

For the second consecutive year, Massey Ferguson returns to the National Ploughing Championships. This year the brand will showcase a wide range of tractors suited for every customer, from the smaller livestock farmer’s loader tractor, right through to the larger contractor machines.

The tractor range will be complemented by a Massey Ferguson telehandler and a selection of grass kit, which will include, mowers, tedders, rakes and balers.

The RK662 twin-rotor rake will feature on the Massey Ferguson stand.

The flagship tractor set for Screggan will be the 225hp 8S.225 Xtra model. Last year Massey updated its 8S series with the introduction of ‘Xtra’ models. Xtra models, recognised by black accents on the bonnet offer a number of updates above and below the surface, including new fan control software, improved cooling and software improvements for the Dyna-7 and Dyna-E transmissions. Xtra models bbenefit from a slimmer exhaust pipe, improved LED lighting and minor cab updates.

The flagship 7S.210 model from the slightly smaller chassis will also be on display, alongside tractors from the 6S and 5S ranges, as well as the latest 5M.

The 5M was first debuted at the Lamma Show last year. The range, replaced the previous 5700M series and features six tractors from 95hp up to 145hp.

The RB3130F Xtracut fixed chamber will be on the stand.
