Massey Ferguson has unveiled a special edition of its best-selling MF 5600 series tractor based on the MF 5610 that accomplished the record-breaking Antarctica 2 mission to the South Pole in December 2014.
The three-cylinder, 105hp tractor is equipped with a package of unique features and exclusive design attributes that reflect the many challenges of the 5,000km trek across the ice.
In an impressive feat of strength and endurance, which was followed by millions of people around the world, the MF 5610 carved its place in history and became the first standard farm tractor equipped with tyres to reach the Geographic South Pole overland.
On its journey, the MF 5610 battled through treacherous crevasse fields, steep climbs, solid ice-waves and deep, soft snow. With its Antarctica 2 special edition model, Massey Ferguson puts the emphasis on high performance, comfort, safety and control in a one-off bundle of features developed especially for this unique tractor.
MF 5610 Antarctica 2 Special Edition – features package:
- Superdeluxe air-suspended seat.
- Mechanical cab suspension.
- Six LED lights.
- 540/540E/1,000rpm PTO.
- Massey Ferguson’s high-spec off-road audio entertainment system.
- Rear wiper.
- AutoDrive Dyna-4 transmission.
- Fenders as standard.
- Special black paint on engine grilles.
- Decals of the Antarctica 2 expedition partners.
Other features taking their cue from the expedition partners include Trelleborg tyres fitted as standard and the option of the AgCommand telemetry-based machine management system from Agco’s Fuse Technologies. Castrol oils will be used exclusively in the factory-fill of lubricants, and Agco Finance will provide its comprehensive range of financing solutions for applicable customers.
Buyers of the MF 5610 Antarctica 2 special edition will also be able to claim their very own Antarctica 2 jacket, a replica of the one used by the expedition team during the journey. Each tractor will have its own special Antarctica 2 identification plate inside the cab, stamped with its special edition number. In all other ways, the tractor will be equivalent to a regular MF 5610 and built on the same production line in Beauvais, France.
