Massey Ferguson took a top award at the Sima Show in Paris when a jury from 17 of Europe’s leading farming magazines voted the MF 6718S their Machine of the Year in the mid-power tractor category.
The vice president and managing director of Massey Ferguson’s Europe and Middle East region, Thierry Lhotte, said he was thrilled to receive the accolade.
“It’s a real honour to have this tractor recognised in this way,” he added. “I’m extremely proud of the whole team at Beauvais who have designed and built this tractor and contributed to its success.
“At 200hp the MF 6718S is the most powerful four-cylinder tractor on the market. It’s truly unique in offering the highest power from a four-cylinder engine, while delivering the torque of a six-cylinder. This also makes it the most manoeuvrable 200hp tractor available.”
Massey Ferguson’s director of marketing services, Campbell Scott, added that the tractor’s modern design meant the MF 6718S offered improvements in every area.
“It follows Massey Ferguson’s pioneering powerful, lightweight and compact approach, which makes it just as capable of handling heavy draft operations or top work out in the fields as it is in the yard on loader duties,” he said.
“The exceptional power to weight ratio of the MF 6718S means it is especially suited to transport duties. Combined with its remarkable payload for its size it is a very powerful performer on the road.”
