Massey Ferguson Unveils Advanced Specialty Tractors

Massey Ferguson – February 13, 2024

Massey Ferguson proudly introduces the 3 Series Specialty tractor, a new addition to the North American agricultural landscape. Engineered to tackle the distinct demands of vineyard and orchard work, the MF 3 Series delivers robust reliability to a new sector, boasting a range of seven models spanning 75 to 115 horsepower. This newly developed series presents a powerfully compact solution for demanding tasks, prioritizing efficiency, operator comfort, and a minimized environmental impact.

“At Massey Ferguson, the needs of the farmer are central to every design decision, and we are thrilled to present this innovative offering to vineyard and orchard operations throughout California and across North America,” stated Kevin Lewallen, Tactical Marketing Manager for Massey Ferguson North America. “We deeply understand the critical importance of both productivity and cost-effectiveness in these specialized applications, and we are confident in offering one of the most capable, adaptable, and comfortable machines currently available.”

The MF 3 Series lineup includes 75, 95, and 115 HP cab models within the Specialty (SP) version, tailored for vineyard and orchard environments; 75, 95, and 105 HP models in the narrow, low-profile Ground Effect (GE) version, ideally suited for tunnel and fruit orchard settings; and a single 95 HP model of the Vineyard (VI) version – the narrowest option, perfectly designed for traditional vineyards.

An Exceptional Vineyard Tractor

Operators of the Vineyard version will experience a new standard in comfort during extended workdays, thanks to a cab measuring just over three feet in width – expertly crafted to navigate tight vineyard rows. A forward-thinking design allows for substantial power and torque even at lower engine RPMs, maximizing efficiency and minimizing operational noise.

Farmers have the flexibility to select from a variety of proven transmission options, customizing the MF 3VI.95 and other models within the series to perfectly align with their unique needs regarding ease of operation, fuel efficiency, and much more.

A streamlined front end, coupled with Massey Ferguson’s innovative low-profile automatic transmission fluid (ATF) components, delivers best-in-class visibility, while a Category 4-compliant roof integrates with advanced, ergonomically designed features inside the cab for peak productivity and operator well-being.

An Innovative Specialty Tractor Choice

The slightly wider Specialty version offers a straightforward, dependable tractor for businesses prioritizing a strong return on investment. The 75 HP models are powered by a 3.4-liter, 4-cylinder engine, while larger horsepower models utilize a 3.6-liter engine.

Exceptional operator comfort and convenience are embodied in a 4-foot-wide cab that strikes an ideal balance, precisely meeting the specialized dimensional requirements of the market. Farmers can achieve more between refueling stops with the 3SP model’s 26-gallon fuel tank and ample power for the task at hand.

A Low-Profile Ground Effect

The Ground Effect version encompasses all open-station platform models within the MF 3 Series. This model provides a compelling combination of narrow width and low profile, making it well-suited to the needs of older wine-grape and raisin vineyards. The MF 3GE models achieve optimal efficiency with reduced noise and lower fuel consumption.

Like other models in the 3 Series, the MF 3GE allows farmers to create a customized equipment solution by mixing and matching horsepower and specifications, providing the power, versatility, and comfort they need without paying for unnecessary features. This powerful, fuel-efficient lineup delivers long-term reliability, ease of use, and a low total cost of ownership.

“The Massey Ferguson brand is globally recognized as a leading manufacturer of durable, user-friendly agricultural machinery,” remarked Lewallen. “We are proud to bring our Farmer-First philosophy to a new market in North America. All models within the MF 3 Series provide a compelling blend of power, maneuverability, and reliability, coupled with a rapid return on investment and a smaller environmental impact.”
