The tractor is the ultimate combination of function and fun – a tractor that enhances the joy in the work.”

All-new MF1600 Series
Designed specifically to meet the needs and wants of compact tractor owners, the new MF1600 Series offers bold new styling and the most comprehensive offering of power, comfort and operator conveniences on the market. The robust new models include operator-inspired ergonomics, easy access for service, all-steel construction and high-capacity performance, bringing consumers everything they’ve been waiting for in a compact tractor.

“Our owners are increasingly spending more and more time on their tractors, so operator comfort and ergonomics are more important than ever before,” says Barcuch. “Massey Ferguson has focused its engineering and design efforts specifically to address these needs, and the result is something that consumers recognize the moment they sit on the tractor.” The MF1600 series has been five years in the making and involved millions in research and development, consistent with Massey Ferguson’s 160-year tradition of delivering unprecedented innovations.

The MF1600 Series offers six models from 35 to 60 gross engine horsepower, all featuring steel and cast iron construction, 4-wheel drive, a choice of four transmissions, plus rear and mid PTOs. With sleek new styling and 22 different configurations, all with a factory-installed cab option, the 1600 Series will meet the most discriminating
personal taste and has the ability to handle any job.

Power under the hood of the MF1600 Series is delivered by an efficient Iseki 3- or 4-cylinder liquid-cooled diesel engine with clean-air technology that meets Tier IV interim emission standards. Four easy-as-driving-your-car transmission choices include the 8 x 8 SynchroShuttle, the 12 x 12 SynchroShuttle, 12 x 12 DynaQPS™ and a threerange hydrostatic transmission to match the customer’s needs for economy, durability, power and agility. Heavy-duty cast-iron housings and oil-encased bevel gears mean smoother operation and longer life.

Making the tractor the most comfortable in its class are a noticeably larger operator’s area; form-hugging, standard deluxe spring-suspension seat; standard large armrests; and a platform which rests on rubber isolation mounts to minimize vibration at the operator’s level. Redesigned, right-hand fender-mounted implement controls reduce operator back and arm fatigue by having the controls right where operators need them. Owners will enjoy the uncluttered layout, color-coded controls and easy-to-read gauges. And the wide-open platform makes getting on and off the tractor a breeze.

The MF1600 Series also delivers the ultimate in versatility to meet the needs of any job with its convenient joystick control and quick, easy attachment and removal of Massey Ferguson’s full line of loaders, backhoes, landscape tools, mowers, tillers, brooms, snow blowers and box blades.

“We invite everyone to come see us for more information on this new tractor. It delivers an experience like no other,” Barcuch adds. The ‘Cloud 10’ sweepstakes is open to legal residents of the 48 contiguous United States and Canada (excluding Quebec) who are 18 years of age or older. Canada residents must be over age of majority and skills test applies.
