TOUGH LOVE. - Massey Ferguson

Quality control – times three.
The way we see it, the equation is simple. Reliable
performance is based on solid manufacturing. And solid
manufacturing is based on quality control.
All Massey Ferguson HD Series tractors are made at our
state-of-the-art manufacturing plant, with a record of
quality craftsmanship that spans the past 40 years. And it
comes by that record honestly. Here’s why:
Every HD Series tractor must pass a number of thorough
quality-control inspections and is test-driven at the plant.
The master checklist includes all the subsystems of the
tractor, including the hydraulic system, brake system, sheet
metal, rear axle, engine, transmission, steering system,
electrical system and more.
An engine you can count on – start to finish.
For more than 75 years, Perkins engines have been recognized
worldwide for their fuel efficiency, quick starting,
excellent torque backup and raw lugging power. For over
50 of those years, they’ve also been a lynchpin of legendary
Massey Ferguson reliability. So naturally, when it came to
our HD Series, we wouldn’t settle for anything less.
Our Perkins engine of today – the 1104D-44T four-cylinder
turbocharged diesel – has evolved considerably, featuring
advanced design technology that delivers the robust
performance you need, while meeting Tier III emission
standards.
Perkins ® engine: For more than five decades, quality Perkins engines
have powered Massey Ferguson tractors – with a reputation for high
reliability, low maintenance and the kind of performance you demand.
Utterly reliable transmissions.
We’ve matched the muscle of our Perkins engines with a
choice of two powerful transmissions that offer more than
enough backbone to handle virtually any task.
• SynchroShuttle 8x8. Great for loader work, this
transmission offers on-the-roll shifting that improves cycle
times and allows you to get more done in your workday.
Gears 1 through 4 are synchronized, as well as forward
and reverse.
• Synchronized 12x4. Offering ideal speed selections for
hay making and a straight, in-line shift pattern from 1st to
reverse, this transmission is synchronized between 2nd
and 3rd gear and between slow and fast ranges.
Improved 3-point quadrant
All HD Series models showcase a new console, featuring,
among other things, enhanced control of your 3-point hitch.
The clean, efficient design of the 3-point quadrant on the
console works to minimize vibration noise, while allowing
accuracy with ground-engaging tools by means of handy
positioning and draft levers.
