Massey Ferguson: Two new three-cylinder tractors extend 5700 Global Series

Massey Ferguson has extended and expanded the appeal its ground-breaking MF 5700 Global tractor Series with the launch of two new, three-cylinder 85hp and 95hp models that come with the renowned Dyna-4 transmission as standard, as well as the option of cab suspension.

The two new additions made their debut at Agritechnica 2017 and are built on a similar, larger chassis as the existing MF 5700 Global Series. They offer more choice and a higher specification for those looking for a modern, rugged 85hp to 95hp hard-working tractor.

“These new three-cylinder 5700 Series tractors will appeal to a wide range of farmers looking for extra performance and versatility – particularly for field operations,” director of marketing services for Massey Ferguson in Europe and the Middle East, Campbell Scott, said. “They also perfectly complement the existing MF 4700 Series, with its robust and practical 12×12 manual gearbox.

“The new features, along with the recently introduced Visio Roof option, further enhance their loader credentials. And, the renowned Dyna-4, with four on-the-move changes, adds class-leading control to these, robust and cost-effective workhorses.”

MF 5700 Series three-cylinder specification:

The two new three-cylinder Massey Ferguson MF 5700 Series refine the Global Series’ modern, straightforward design with the addition of the renowned Dyna-4 semi-powershift transmission, as well as the option of added cab suspension comfort.

Built at Massey Ferguson’s award-winning factory at Beauvais, France, the latest 85hp and 95hp models join the existing 100hp and 110hp tractors with their 12×12 manual transmission and further broaden the appeal of the MF 5700 Series.

Constructed on the strong, 2.32m wheelbase MF 5700 chassis, providing a 4,300kg lift capacity, these cost-effective tractors are ideally suited to a wide range of field work and transport. They come equipped with a host of modern features including hydraulic controls to ease operation and make them ideally suited to loader operations.

Renowned Dyna-4 transmission
The renowned and well-proven Dyna-4 transmission adds another dimension to the already versatile MF 5700 Series.

Dyna-4 is a highly efficient transmission that provides class-leading, simple and convenient control of 16 forward and 16 reverse speeds with four Dynashift (powershift) speeds in four ranges. A creep speed is an option.

With four change-on-the move Dynashift speeds in each gear, it offers ultimate ease of operation with the left-hand Power Control lever and console-mounted T-lever.

On top of straightforward, clutchless range changes, it also offers further sophistication with optional AutoDrive. In the Automatic setting, this changes gears automatically, according to the engine load and speed. As well easing operation, this also selects the best setting for performance and fuel economy.

With Dyna-4 comes the further option of the practical brake-to-neutral facility. This superb control greatly enhances and eases loader operation. Activated with a simple rocker switch, this engages neutral whenever the brakes are depressed, which means operators need to use just one pedal.

Comfort-enhancing cab suspension
A new cab suspension option, greatly enhances operator comfort on the two models. The entirely mechanical system employs two silent block bushes to support the cab at the front, with a pair of spring-assisted shock absorbers mounted on the two rear corners.

A Panhard rod on the rear spring units provides lateral stability, which combines with the vertical damping to offer suspension in three dimensions – up/down and side-to-side. The mechanical system requires no operator input, with the damping set to pre-determined levels by the shock absorbers and springs.
