It covers the new Mitsubishi engine, diesel particulate filter, ground-level fueling, tilt hood, digital dash, and hydro features like adjustable response and cruise control, demonstrated on the tractor. Good for buyers wanting an early feature rundown rather than loader or backhoe work.
Posted by the hesstondc channel, presented from a dealer/company perspective introducing a new model rather than an independent owner review.
It has a new Mitsubishi engine with a diesel particulate filter, which is how it reaches Tier Four Interim emissions standards.
Yes, it has a new hydro cruise control. You raise the RPMs, engage it off the hydro pedal, and you no longer have to hold the pedal down.
Yes, you can adjust both the maximum speed and how quickly the hydro responds, and it is now electronically controlled instead of cable controlled.
It has ground level fueling, which is a first for Massey Ferguson's compact tractors.
