Expodireto Special: New self-propelled sprayer MF 8125 enters the 2.500 liter segment

Versatility, high daily productivity (ha/hour), low fuel consumption, high traction capacity, flexible chassis, safety and operational comfort are the main attributes of the new 8125-liter MF 2.500 sprayer, which Massey Ferguson will launch at the 19th Expodireto Cotrijal, which takes place from March 5th to 9th, in Não-Me-Toque (RS).

“The MF 8125 arrives on the market to complement our portfolio of self-propelled sprayers, which now has a model in the 2.500 liter segment. The new equipment stands out for its versatility and can serve small to large producers, low fuel consumption, high daily productivity (ha/hour), in addition to adding safety and operational comfort” says Vitor Kaminski, Product Marketing Supervisor at AGCO, company that owns the Massey Ferguson brand.

Available in sugarcane and grain versions, the new equipment combines low operating weight, high traction capacity, flexible chassis, independent axles and 4x4 crossed hydrostatic transmission, offering the producer greater versatility and allowing the machine to work in the most diverse soil and topography conditions. . As a result, the MF 8125 maintains productivity potential and application quality, in addition to maintaining a high useful life of the entire sprayer structure.

Equipped with an AGCO Power engine (170 hp) designed specifically for agricultural use, the new Massey Ferguson sprayer works at low working speeds – up to 14% lower than current models available on the market -, with a low level of pollutant emissions, low fuel consumption - average of 12,5 liters/hour, under normal operating conditions -, lower noise for the operator and lower environmental impact. With the cab positioned on the wheelbase, impacts due to terrain variations are reduced, ensuring greater comfort for the operator. The fuel tank has a capacity of 365 liters, considerably increasing working autonomy.

Equipped with a touch screen spray controller and End-Cap system, which does not allow residual pressure to exist in the piping, the MF 8125 offers better control and quality in the application, avoiding pesticide waste and reducing environmental impact. Another benefit is the longer useful life of the spray system, reducing maintenance costs and improving the quality of the application.

“The sprayer is the machine that works the hardest during the harvest because it enters the field several times to carry out the necessary applications. Therefore, the farmer needs equipment that is robust, reliable and available to work at the right time for each application, as delays in application result in lost productivity”, says Kaminski.

The equipment has an Auto-Guide 3000 automatic pilot and automatic closing of the standard spray sections and, as options, telemetry, automatic boom height sensor and automatic pilot with centimeter precision, ensuring more efficient spraying, with fewer failures or excessive overlaps.
