Powerful, Versatile Performance

The MF 9S Series offers power outputs ranging from 285hp to 425hp. Coupled with Massey Ferguson’s unique Protect-U design, all models are equipped with an advanced engine design and updated Dyna-VT transmission to elevate performance and productivity.

Equipped for the future of agriculture, the tractors come standard with MF Guide and MF Connect telemetry, while comfort and control are further enhanced with the new MF AutoTurn, AutoHeadland, and ISOBUS Tractor Implement Management options.

Straightforward Stage V Engine Power

Power for all MF 9S models is delivered by the well-established six-cylinder, 8.4-litre AGCO Power engine. Engine Power Management (EPM) boosts torque up to 1,750Nm and generates up to 30hp of additional power at speeds above 15 km/h for PTO and hydraulic applications on all models (except the MF 9S.425).

The engine meets Stage V emission regulations using a simplified version of the renowned All-In-One system, which no longer requires an EGR valve. Instead, it employs a new, straightforward turbocharging system with a single, advanced turbocharger. These updates greatly enhance reliability and reduce maintenance costs. Perfectly integrated below the cab, this concept, combined with the low bonnet, maintains best-in-class forward visibility.

Engines complying with Tier 3 emission regulations are also available, depending on specific market requirements.

To provide ample capacity for extended working days, the tractors feature a 10% larger, 660-litre fuel tank, as well as a 68-litre AdBlue tank. The engine is also designed to operate on HVO fuel, promoting more sustainable operations.

Supremely Quiet and Comfortable Cab

Massey Ferguson’s unique Protect-U engine and cab installation deliver unmatched visibility and comfort. A key feature is an 18cm gap that isolates the encapsulated engine from the cab.

This reduces noise, heat, and vibration inside the cab, which, at 69 dBA, is among the quietest in the industry. With a volume of 3.4m³, it's also one of the most spacious workplaces in the sector. Combined with a streamlined bonnet, the inclined windscreen offers unparalleled visibility and comfort.

The Premium specification seat is fitted with a large, comfortable armrest, which houses the Datatronic 5 touchscreen terminal and Multipad joystick. These provide optimum control and setting of all main functions, including the electric spool valves.

Operators working long hours will appreciate the ventilated box under the passenger seat, as well as the wide range of storage compartments, cup and bottle holders located in convenient positions.

A powerful heating and demisting system with climate control air conditioning maintains a comfortable temperature, with 14 outlets that operators can adjust to direct the airflow.

On top of the Exclusive specification is a further Professional Package option, providing an air hose connection and electrical supply mounted near the steps, along with a portable toolbox, hose, blow gun, and torch.

Unrivaled Visibility

Unrivaled, all-round vision is ensured through the 6.6m² total glazed area. The windscreen, sloping downward towards the front, combined with the large overhanging roof, reduces glare from the sun and helps keep the cab cooler. The screen is kept clear by the large parallelogram wiper, covering nearly three-quarters of the area (72%), while another clears the side screen.

Along with the standard rear-facing camera, up to three additional cameras can be added to provide a complete view of the implement, as well as the road ahead and behind.

A new, advanced 360-degree LED lighting configuration transforms night into day, with up to 23 working lights in addition to the LED high beams and rotating beacons included in this pack.

Fingertip Control

Optimum, intuitive operation is provided by the standard Datatronic 5 touchscreen terminal and Fieldstar 5 extended screen option. The new, easy-to-read MF vDisplay digital dashboard, mounted on the cab post, displays all tractor information and allows settings to be easily personalized and changed with a rotary knob on the steering wheel.

Automation Makes Work Easier

With the MF 9S, Massey Ferguson is also introducing new levels of automation. MF AutoTurn, an option for MF Guide, automatically steers the tractor into the next headland.

With AutoHeadland, two headland sequences can also be automatically started and stopped, according to the tractor’s GPS position. With the Trimble GPS receiver delivering sub-meter precision as standard, this not only improves repeatable accuracy but also relieves the operator of repetitive tasks.

This fully automated package increases productivity and accuracy, reduces soil compaction at the headland, cuts fuel consumption, and reduces operator fatigue.

Datatronic 5 and optional Fieldstar 5 touchscreen terminals, equipped with MF Guide, MF TaskDoc, and MF Connect telemetry as standard, make smart farming easy with optional MF Section Control and MF Rate Control to further increase efficiency.

Optimum Automated Operation

For ultimate automation, the MF 9S Series is available with Tractor Implement Management (TIM) as an option. This advanced ISOBUS-based system provides automatic management of the tractor’s electronic functions according to the operation and implement’s requirements.

This enables a TIM ISOBUS compliant implement to manage and control tractor functions, such as forward speed and the hydraulics, which improves performance and work quality, as well as comfort, while reducing costs and operator fatigue.

Protect Soil and Cut Fuel Consumption

All MF 9S tractors come with the option of Massey Ferguson’s new Central Tyre Inflation System (CTIS). Controlled through Datatronic 5 or Fieldstar 5 terminals, it quickly adjusts pressure to reduce compaction and achieve optimum traction.

Employing a twin, 650 litre/min compressor, it takes just four minutes to increase pressure in a typical set of VF 710/75R42 + VF 620/75R30 tyres from 0.8 bar to 1.6 bar.

CTIS is proven to reduce fuel consumption by 10% to 15%, as well as cut compaction by facilitating an up to 150% larger footprint. At the same time, the system can increase traction and reduce unnecessary tyre wear.

Standard Dyna-VT Transmission

All MF 9S tractors come standard with Massey Ferguson’s renowned Dyna-VT continuously variable transmission, with new power management to deliver additional torque and horsepower. This has a separate oil reservoir from the hydraulics to eliminate any risk of contamination and lengthen service life, which is particularly helpful when operating tractor fleets.

Highly Efficient Hydraulics Handle the Most Demanding Implements

MF 9S Series tractors benefit from an upgraded ECO hydraulic system. This delivers 205 litres/min at just 1,650 rpm or 270 litres/min at 1,850 rpm, which helps save fuel and cut noise levels. Oil is delivered by an open-center and a closed-center pump, with a dedicated pump for control valves.

A new dual closed-center pump option, which delivers 340 litres/min at 1,650rpm or 400 litres/min at 1,850 rpm, is available with six spool valves. One pump supplies continuous flow to three valves, while another provides variable flow to the other three and looks after ancillary circuits, such as the steering.

A new configuration with six valves enables the use of a valve, in a 3/4" coupler, to provide a flow of 170 litres/min, while the five others still deliver 140 litres/min. For easy disconnection, all valves are equipped with decompression levers.

A higher capacity hydraulic tank provides 101 litres of exportable oil capacity to power complex equipment. To handle heavier implements is a new hydraulic top link option, with a larger, 120mm diameter ram to increase lift capacity to 20t.

A new, straightforward, 5t capacity front linkage, connected to the first rear valve, provides an affordable option for those who do not require front hydraulic couplers. Configurations with independent valves are available and offer up to two front lines, a free return and ISOBUS socket.

Versatile by Design

Built on a 3.1m wheelbase, the MF 9S tractors combine exceptional stability with agility. Weighing in from just 10,900kg, the MF 9S.425 offers a best-in-class power-to-weight ratio of just 25.4kg/hp, which boosts performance.

The light weight increases the payload and enhances fuel economy (1t of extra weight adds 1 litre/hr more consumption in transport), but for heavy draft work and higher traction, the tractors can be ballasted up to 18,500kg, providing a power-to-weight ratio of up to 64.9kg/hp for the smallest model.

Further increasing performance in the field and for transport is the excellent Gross Vehicle Weight (GVW) of 16t at 50km/h, which is 1t more than the MF 8700 S, and Gross Combination Weight (GCW) of up to 50t (depending on market).

A new suspended front axle provides a turning radius of just 5.75m, depending on tyres. A larger 125mm diameter rear bar axle enables more power to be transmitted to the ground and supports larger loads.

The new axle also accommodates a greater choice of wheels and tyres, with the factory fitted range including the Michelin EvoBib as well as large diameter tyres, such as the 2.18m, VF 750/70R44, which increase traction and reduce soil compaction. Coupled with the CTIS option and low weight of the MF 9S, this further minimizes ground pressure, making it ideal for soil preparation and seeding operations.
