It's still a matter of pride
In 2004, we proudly launched the award-winning MF 8400 Series,
then a ground-breaking machinery line-up in the high horsepower
sector. Now, through vision and passion, Massey Ferguson is
anticipating the future demands of today's farming community.
Since 2004 our designers and
engineers have worked diligently
to continually improve on the
innovative advancements that the
MF 8400 had to offer.
To get the very best performance
and productivity from a tractor,
we put it through its paces again
and again in the most rigorous and
pressurised testing a machine can
be subjected to.
Massey Ferguson's designers
and engineers researched the
main constraints and problems
facing today's and tomorrow's
tractor operator; visibility and
accessibility; both front and rear,
bonnet and grill dynamics, work
quality, ergonomics and
fuel consumption.
We know how important it is to get
an honest and unbiased opinion
of what our customers want and
need, so we used market research
and extensive customer opinion
and feedback to determine what
was needed to take the product to
the next stage.

Extreme testing
Every part of the machine is
painstakingly tested. Extreme
condition simulation tests ensured
that the tractor could withstand
the worst climate, most unforgiving
terrain and most difficult field
operations. Temperatures within
the cold chamber reach -40
The MF 8600 has undergone
highly detailed analysis. From the
simplest of switches and buttons
to the tractor's external structure,
every part has been assessed for
pressure, resistance and general
workday use.
Low noise levels, lowest
emissions
Machine noise levels and emissions
were tested to achieve complete
operator comfort and to meet and
deliver the ever-evolving demands
for emission reduction. By
collaborating with SISU and Bosch
systems, we achieved what was
thought to be impossible; cleaner
emissions, lower fuel consumption
but with increased power.
The AGCO SISU POWER e
Selective Catalytic Reduction
(SCR) system is a unique and
sophisticated feature meeting future
emissions legislation right now.
Cab noise levels were also tested
within our unique semi-anechoic
chamber using sophisticated
C.
o
and modern acoustic equipment,
allowing the operator a comfortable
and quiet working day.
Through listening to the
expectations of the customer
and collaborating with them
during field tests, we have
been able to test and develop
a machine that defines the
spirit of Massey Ferguson,
producing a tractor with
unprecedented capabilities.
