A New Era for Straightforward and Dependable tractors from Massey Ferguson
We began the MF 8S project with a blank page. At the heart of it was the global ‘Voice of the Customer’ study; an in-depth, one-to-one interview with customers and operators in several countries across the globe.
Key feedback from you, the customer, underlined the need for comfort, ease of use, value for money, excellent reliability, intuitive and convenient controls, efficiency transmitting maximum power to the ground, 100% connectivity and the ability to work with the most demanding implements.
It was an exciting and inspirational project for all those involved and an opportunity to build on Massey Ferguson’s strong heritage of straightforward, dependable machines.
The result: a Massey Ferguson tractor for a new era. The MF 8S.
Key Benefits
Technology & Innovation
ENGINE POWER MANAGEMENT - 20 HP BOOST
These tractors have the considerable benefit of Engine Power Management (EPM), which gives the capability of up to a 20 hp-plus power boost, plus extra torque, whenever that bit extra is needed.
MF 8S Engines
AGCO Power 6-cylinder / 7.4 litre engines deliver more power, torque, and performance at low rpm reducing operating costs.
Dyna E-Power
The Dyna E-Power, is the ultimate dual clutch technology, stepless shifting raising comfort, maximum power to the ground due to the mechanical conception and the best fuel efficiency in its class
Dyna-7
Dyna-7 offers efficient operation of a total of 28 forward and reverse speeds in four ranges and seven seamless gears. This cost-effective transmission delivers smooth and intuitive operation in manual mode or can even be operated fully automatically.
Dyna-VT
Stepless transmission brings complete operator comfort and optimum fuel efficiency at all times. New Automatic mode enables operators to adjust forward speed, while automatically regulating engine speed according to load and speed.
Protect-U Design
The encapsulated engine contributes to ultimate engine performance improving cooling capacities by always getting fresh air. It also insulates the cab from noise, heat and vibrations.
Power Lever Control
Exclusive, Simple, the unique Massey Ferguson Power Control lever provides straightforward three-in-one operation. Leaving your right hand free to operate a loader or any implement hydraulics.
Multipad Control
The Multipad lever operates the transmission as well as controlling cruise control, the rear linkage, PTO, headland management, spool valves through the integrated micro-joystick. All operations are easily to hand for greater comfort.
Front Axle Suspension
Improved comfort and safety for transport applications and greater traction is delivered by a new and innovative front suspension.
SPEEDSTEER
Reduces operator effort and provides faster turns - maximising your time in the cab. It enables the operator to adjust the steering ratio and select the number of turns of the steering wheel required for a given amount of steering angle turns.
TIGHT TURNING CIRCLE
The curved design of the chassis and bonnet ensures one of the best turning circles on the market: 5.7 m*. (*Track 1950mm with 600/70R30 front tyres)
WHEELBASE
Wheelbase length is 3.05m offering improved stability with or without a heavy implement, maintaining high levels of traction in the field and increased comfort in transport.
TM 1000 Progressive Traction
The Trelleborg Tyres provides maximum traction, soil preservation & low fuel consumption, with an excellent handling and comfort.
Suspended Front Axle
The tractors retain the well-proven standard suspended front axle. Offering a tight, 5.7m turning radius. Now equipped with suspension lock, it also equipped with brakes for tractors fitted with all 50km/hr transmissions.
Neo-Retro Design
The striking ‘neo-retro’ design pays tribute to the brand’s heritage, illustrated by a new interpretation of the iconic MF grey sabre stripe on the side and horse head collar motif on the bonnet, which dates back to the MF 100 series.
Control Centre Armrest
The new Control Centre armrest fitted with the latest easy-to-use MultiPad lever provides complete fingertip control. This ISOBUS compatible lever operates all the tractor functions and includes an integral micro-joystick to control two spool valves.

Seats
Massey Ferguson offers the best-in class seat depending on models and options providing outstanding comfort.
Wheelbase
Massey Ferguson MF 8S Series tractors are built on a 3.05m wheelbase that provides stability and improves traction when working with wide, demanding implements, offering up to nearly 10% more traction power.
PTO
All models come with a four-speed PTO as standard, providing a choice of 540, 540ECO, 1,000 or 1,000ECO, which means operators can always select the right speed for power or economy.
Optional Hydraulic Systems
A 205 litre/min flow is an option, which can also be supplied as an ECO version, generating the flow at 1,650rpm (230l/min at max at rated engine speed). Up to five electronic rear spool valves can be specified.
Load-Sensing Hydraulic System
A 150 litre/min closed-centre, load-sensing hydraulic system is standard, providing 36% more flow compared with the previous system.
Linkage Capacity
Three-point linkage capacity is increased by 7% to 10,000kg and, with powerful new hydraulics, these tractors handle and operate large, wider implements.
Front Linkage Option
A new 4,800kg capacity front linkage option, fully integrated into the tractor, comes with the option of an ISOBUS socket.
MF Section Control
With the fully automatic Section Control for ISOBUS implements, operators can apply seeds, fertilizer or Crop protection products without overlapping. This prevents double treatment and areas worked outside of the field edges.
MF Task Doc
TaskDoc records data quickly and easily to create field records, make job reports and keep accurate records of inputs. This information can be transferred simply, wirelessly from the terminal in a format compatible with most farm management software.
MF Guide
Massey Ferguson’s complete guidance system for hands-free steering, available factory fit on new tractors or as an after-market installation. The system uses Trimble - RangePoint, Trimble - CenterPoint and RTK corrected signals to increase efficiency.

An optional Fieldstar 5 terminal can be used to manage all of the relevant MF Technologies. It now also records the field boundaries and provides automatic field detection.
MF vDisplay
The MF vDisplay digital dashboard shows all the tractor information at a glance. Easy to read and with intuitive operation, its clear display can be personalised and changed by simply scrolling through settings with a rotary knob by the steering wheel.
Antenna Rail
A new antenna rail, positioned at the front of the cab, enables easy mounting of a choice of GPS receivers up to RTK precision. For security and risk avoidance, the antenna is locked in place with a key as standard.
MF CONNECT
MF Connect service enables you — and your dealer — to coordinate, optimize and seamlessly connect your fleet, to better manage maintenance and remotely monitor equipment in the field.
