Massey Ferguson launches MF 8S Xtra tractors

Massey Ferguson has launched the MF 8S Xtra tractor range, an evolution of the MF 8S series. The new product includes six models with power ranging from 205 to 305 hp. The update focuses on comfort, operational efficiency and connectivity.

The new line's unique feature is the combination of mechanical robustness and intelligent systems. Electronic power management (EPM) can increase engine power by up to 20 hp. The technology combines with mechanical reliability to deliver high performance with lower operating costs.

Enhanced performance

The new models are equipped with a 7,4-liter, six-cylinder AGCO Power engine and Dyna-7, Dyna E-Power dual-clutch or Dyna-VT transmissions. The torque range extends from 950 to 1.280 Nm, with additional gains via EPM on five of the six models.

Among the technical features, the Xtra series features an improved cooling system with fan control that increases efficiency by up to 5% and reduces fuel consumption. An optional reversible fan ensures the system remains clean even in environments with intense dust.

Redesigned and more connected cabin

The interior of the 3,4 m³ cabin has received updates aimed at the operator's well-being. There are new electrically adjustable exterior mirrors, a rear window defroster, a strategically positioned microphone and a dual-motion seat.

The optional entertainment package includes a 6,75-inch touchscreen with Android Auto, Apple CarPlay and Focal speakers. The equipment provides access to digital radio, USB input and mobile services. The screen can be operated via the armrest controls.

More productivity, less effort

The Tire Control System (CTIS), available via the “MF By You” program, optimizes traction on the ground, preserves the terrain and reduces fuel consumption. Changing hydraulic implements has been made easier with the new decompression lever, installed directly on the rear valves.

Lighting has also been enhanced. A package of LED lights with 360-degree coverage increases nighttime working capacity. The set includes 20 lights that add up to 51.500 lumens, surpassing the previous generation by 17.400. Additional lights on the handrails increase safety when moving around.

Functional design

The look of the MF 8S Xtra series maintains its neo-retro identity, but with elements that enhance functionality. The black front grille and the side panels of the hood in matt black give it a robust appearance. The new exhaust, narrow and positioned in the corner of the cabin, improves forward visibility.

Technical versatility

The Datatronic 5 terminal integrates all control and connectivity functions. Farmers can add the Fieldstar 5 terminal for precision farming capabilities. The MF AutoTurn system and the Isobus-certified MF Section Control section control automate operations with precision for up to 96 sections.
