Major attractions on the Massey Ferguson stand (W15) at this year’s IOG SALTEX exhibition will be an MF1547 compact tractor equipped with the advanced Dyna-QPS transmission and a model from the new mid-range MF3600 series which spans the power band from 58hp to 91hp.
Rated at 46hp, the MF1547 can be specified with a 12 x 12 manual gearbox, a three-range hydrostatic transmission or the new Dyna-QPS transmission incorporating Power Shift and Power Shuttle functions within a 12 forward/12 reverse mechanical gearbox with creep speeds.
Push-button activated, Power Shift allows the driver to change up or down between the four speeds in each of the gearbox’s three ranges without affecting power delivery or momentum. Similarly electro-hydraulically controlled, the Power Shuttle function enables users to change from forward to reverse travel, and vice versa, by simply flicking a lever mounted to the left of the steering column.
Ideal for a wide range of demanding grounds and turf maintenance operations, the 3600 Series comprises the MF3615, MF3625, MF3635 and MF3645 tractors rated at 58hp, 68hp, 78hp and 91hp respectively.
Customers can specify 3600 Series tractors in two-wheel drive equipped with a 12/12 synchro shuttle gearbox or in four-wheel drive with a 24/24 synchro shuttle transmission. There is also the choice of a flat floor ‘Q’ cab or an open platform with foldable roll-over protection structure (ROPS).
