Celebrating its 50th anniversary this year, Massey Ferguson will be exhibiting at the 2008 Hampton Court Palace Flower Show a selection of compact tractors, garden tractors, ride-on mowers and walk-behind mowers suitable for garden, park and estate applications.

New for 2008 are five walk-behind rotary mowers, four with three-in-one cutting systems capable of either collecting or mulching or discharging grass clippings, to suit requirements. The fifth new model is an 84cm wide-cut mower which can be adapted to either discharge cut grass to the side or mulch it before returning the finely-chopped clippings to the ground to act as a natural green fertiliser.

Also new from Massey Ferguson this year is an extended and uprated range of premium quality ride-on garden tractors and mowers featuring either stepless automatic or fully hydrostatic wheel drive.

Among the products to be featured at the show are tractor-mowers equipped with direct-collect mid cutter decks, rough-cut tractor mowers with side-discharge decks, a 25hp garden tractor and a zero-turn rider mower.
 
For those with larger grounds to maintain, Massey Ferguson’s tractor range for grounds care applications encompasses 15 compact and mid-range models from 19.5hp to 92hp.

Within this power band lies a formidable line-up of tractors available with a luxury cab
or roll-over protection frame together with a wide choice of transmission and power take-off systems to suit applications as diverse as trailer hauling, front loading, cultivating, seeding, spraying, sweeping, leaf collection and grass cutting.

The Massey Ferguson exhibit will be staffed by highly-experienced personnel able to provide RHS members and other show visitors with clear and helpful advice, assistance and guidance in the selection and operation of Massey Ferguson compact tractors and attachments, garden tractors and ride-on and walk-behind mowers.
