The tractors can also achieve top speeds at low rpm – 50km/h<br />
at 1,500rpm and 40km/h at 1,200rpm – further improving fuel<br />
efficiency and reducing noise.<br />
Gears change seamlessly, smoothly and efficiently, with only a<br />
9 per cent gear ratio difference between each speed in field work<br />
applications from 5km/h to 20km/h.<br />
The other option is the new Dyna-7 semi powershift gearbox,<br />
which MF says is about 10 per cent more efficient than the Dyna-<br />
6 – with one extra powershift gear and a total of 28 forward and<br />
reverse speeds in four ranges and seven seamless gears.<br />
GREATER TRACTION<br />
All Massey Ferguson MF 8S series tractors are built on a 3.05m<br />
wheelbase with a strong rear axle and suspended front axle as<br />
standard, offering up to nearly 10 per cent more traction power<br />
and a 5.7m turning radius.<br />
New wheel specifications now include the ability to fit up to<br />
2.05m diameter rear tyres, including the brand-new option of<br />
VF650/75 R42 Trelleborg TM1000 PT.<br />
Three-point linkage capacity is increased by 7 per cent to<br />
10,000kg and, with powerful new hydraulics, these tractors handle<br />
and operate large, wider implements.<br />
A 150 litre/min closed-centre, load-sensing hydraulic system<br />
is standard, providing 36 per cent more flow compared with the<br />
previous system. A 205L/min flow is an option, which can also<br />
be supplied as an ECO version, generating the flow at 1,650rpm<br />
(230L/min at max at rated engine speed). Up to five electronic rear<br />
spool valves can be specified.<br />
All models come with a four-speed power take-off as standard,<br />
providing a choice of 540, 540ECO, 1,000 or 1,000ECO, which<br />
means operators can always select the right speed for power<br />
or economy.<br />
A new 4,800kg capacity front linkage option, fully integrated into<br />
the tractor, comes with the option of an ISOBUS socket.<br />
100 PER CENT CONNECTED<br />
All MF 8S Series tractors come with a three-year licence to use<br />
the MF Connect Telemetry system, which transfers data such<br />
as the machine’s position, error messages and service alerts<br />
to the MF Connect Cloud as well as users and dealers (with<br />
permission).<br />
An optional Fieldstar 5 terminal can be used to manage all<br />
the MF Technologies– including MF Guide, while MF Section<br />
and Rate Control can now handle up to 36 sections and five<br />
products. It now also records the field boundaries and provides<br />
automatic field detection.<br />
MF Task Doc and Task Doc Pro automatically record and<br />
wirelessly transfer the gathered information and data, as well as<br />
creating application plans and working with farm management<br />
software. With NEXT Machine Management, data can be simply<br />
and securely transferred wirelessly via the Agrirouter Cloud.<br />
SUPERB SPECIFICATIONS<br />
MF 8S Series Exclusive specification models will be available<br />
at the end of this year. These will be expanded with the<br />
introduction of the Efficient versions in early 2021, along with<br />
the Dyna-VT (CVT) transmission option for all models later in<br />
2021.<br />
The Exclusive specification is a comprehensive package<br />
providing operators with exceptional comfort and ease of use,<br />
as well as genuine performance enhancing features to increase<br />
productivity and efficiency.<br />
As well as a choice of the Dyna-E Power or Dyna-7<br />
transmission, Exclusive models come equipped to a high<br />
specification, including MultiPad control lever, five electric<br />
spool valves with fingertip switches and joystick. It is MF Guide<br />
ready, with MF Task Doc recording and, in common with all MF<br />
8S Series, it includes MF Connect telemetry with a three-year<br />
subscription.<br />
1. The MF 8S series comprises four new<br />
models<br />
2. With a 24cm gap separating the cab from<br />
the engine, the ‘Protect-U’ concept cuts<br />
in-cab noise to just 68 decibels<br />
3. MF 8S Series Exclusive specification<br />
models will be expanded with the<br />
Efficient versions in early 2021<br />
4. The new Control Centre armrest, with<br />
updated Datatronic 5 touch-screen<br />
terminal<br />
5. Replacing the dashboard, the MF<br />
vDisplay shows tractor information at a<br />
glance - and scrolling through settings is<br />
by a rotary knob by the steering wheel<br />
6. The MF 8S’s Stage V Agco Power sixcylinder/7.4-litre<br />
engines deliver more<br />
power, torque and performance at low<br />
rpm<br />
Built on a 3.05m<br />
wheelbase, they offer<br />
maximum power from<br />
205hp to 265hp (153kW to<br />
198kW), all with an extra<br />
20hp (15kW) from Engine<br />
Power Management<br />
(EPM).<br />
