It’s still a matter of pride
In 2004, we proudly launched the award-winning MF 8400 Series,
then a ground-breaking machinery line-up in the high horsepower
sector. Now, through vision and passion, Massey Ferguson is
anticipating the future demands of today’s farming community.
Since 2004 our designers and
engineers have worked diligently
to continually improve on the
innovative advancements that the
MF 8400 had to offer.
To get the very best performance
and productivity from a tractor,
we put it through its paces again
and again in the most rigorous and
pressurised testing a machine can
be subjected to.
Massey Ferguson’s designers
and engineers researched the
main constraints and problems
facing today’s and tomorrow’s
tractor operator; visibility and
accessibility; both front and rear,
bonnet and grill dynamics, work
quality, ergonomics and
fuel consumption.
We know how important it is to get
an honest and unbiased opinion
of what our customers want and
need, so we used market research
and extensive customer opinion
and feedback to determine what
was needed to take the product to
the next stage.
Extreme testing
Every part of the machine is
painstakingly tested. Extreme
condition simulation tests ensured
that the tractor could withstand
the worst climate, most unforgiving
terrain and most difcult eld
operations. Temperatures within
the cold chamber reach -40
The MF 8600 has undergone
highly detailed analysis. From the
simplest of switches and buttons
to the tractor’s external structure,
every part has been assessed for
pressure, resistance and general
workday use.
Low noise levels, lowest
emissions
Machine noise levels and emissions
were tested to achieve complete
operator comfort and to meet and
deliver the ever-evolving demands
for emission reduction. By
collaborating with SISU and Bosch
systems, we achieved what was
thought to be impossible; cleaner
emissions, lower fuel consumption
but with increased power.
o
C.
The AGCO SISU POWER e3
Selective Catalytic Reduction
(SCR) system is a unique and
sophisticated feature meeting future
emissions legislation right now.
Cab noise levels were also tested
within our unique semi-anechoic
chamber using sophisticated
and modern acoustic equipment,
allowing the operator a comfortable
and quiet working day.
Through listening to the
expectations of the customer
and collaborating with them
during eld tests, we have
been able to test and develop
a machine that denes the
spirit of Massey Ferguson,
producing a tractor with
unprecedented capabilities.

the MF 8600 Series tractor was to produce a machine with
uncompromised power and a multitude of innovative features;
creating a totally new operator experience.
The MF 8600 Series has seriously
modern, dynamic looks, which
offset its immense structure. At the
heart of the machine is a muscular,
six-cylinder AGCO SISU POWER
engine and award-winning
Dyna-VT transmission.
Protecting your investment is a new
cast front axle support, heavier-duty
front axle with optional QuadLink
front suspension and a tough new
chassis-rail structure.
There are many new and
innovative characteristics that
set the MF 8600 apart from the
competition; all of which guarantee
the highest productivity and
optimum performance.

Engines you can trust
Cleaner, more productive and economic ‘AGCO SISU POWER’
engines are at the heart of every MF 8600 Series tractor,
guaranteeing precise power and high performance.
08
The 4-valve, common rail AGCO
SISU POWER engine provides
the ultimate in optimum power
delivery, with the benet of a
turbocharged intercooler.
With exceptional ‘constant power’
and torque backup, the engine
keeps all of its productivity and
strength, but with the added
advantages of lower emissions and
improved fuel economy.
Intelligent engine management
All AGCO SISU POWER engines
feature new generation, latest
technology, ‘Tier III-compliant’,
Electronic Engine Management
(EEM). This enables continuous
adjustment of the amount and
timing of fuel injected, in relation to
engine speed and load. The results
are lower emissions, more power
and superb fuel economy.
EEM also enables a range of
advanced engine control functions,
including Engine Speed Control,
which is standard on MF 8600
Series tractors.
Extra power
The extra power feature provides
more power at 2,000 rev/min than
at 2,200 rev/min. This is consistent
with PTO speed so that maximum
power is available for all
PTO applications.
Engine speed control
Switches mounted conveniently
on the right-hand console enable
engine speed to be pre-set
and memorised.
The ability to return quickly
and easily to precise engine
speeds will boost productivity,
improve work quality and simplify
operation in almost all of your
daily tasks.

Compared to previous generation engines, MF’s
electronic engine management system broadens the
operating range within which the tractor is operating at
optimum fuel efciency.
Improved fuel economy
The Electronic Engine Management
system constantly monitors a
wide range of parameters and
makes continual and incredibly
ne adjustments to fuel injection.
Combined with high pressure
‘common rail’ fuel injection and
the 4-valve cylinder head design,
this has given further signicant
improvements, not only in
emissions but also in fuel economy.
The upper curve clearly shows how maximum torque
is maintained between 1200 and 1500 rev/min, with
steep torque rise as engine revs fall between 2200 and
1500 rev/min. The lower curve shows high power, with
‘constant power’ maintained down to 1570 rev/min.
The cooling system
A highly efcient cooling system
ensures that the engine itself
works to its fullest capacity
regardless of the application.
The fully-vented bonnet allows
the engine to breathe even in
dusty, dirty conditions. A large air
lter maintains cleanliness within
the engine, allowing for higher
productivity and savings on fuel
consumption.

On the road to
a greener future
It’s more important
than ever to
be part of the
environmental
solution
Through pioneering technology,
Massey Ferguson, AGCO SISU
POWER engines and Bosch have
created the most economical and
ecological off-road diesel engine in
the world; creating the opportunity
to own a machine that is less
harmful to you, your livelihood
and the environment.
While still being cost efcient and
performance-perfect, the AGCO
SISU POWER e3 engine in the
MF 8600 range is well ahead of its
time both in emissions regulations
and in fuel efciency, resulting
in the ultimate high horsepower
tractor of the future.
Featuring Selective Catalytic
Reduction (SCR) system which
is widely used within the road
transport industry, AGCO
SISU POWER’s e
technology signicantly reduces
exhaust pollutants and fuel
consumption.

SCR engine
Mauno Ylivakeri is Engineering
Director for AGCO SISU POWER
engines and states: “Selective
Catalytic Reduction is proven to
provide the best fuel economy in
its class and deliver much cleaner
exhaust gas emissions”.
“The two main exhaust pollutants
are Nitrous Oxide (NOx) and
Particulate Matter,” he continues.
“Government policy is clearly
directed at reducing NOx due to
the environmental consequences
of smog, acid rain and respiratory
problems”.

The technology
of tomorrow, today
Selective Catalytic Reduction used in conjunction with AGCO SISU
POWER engines means an end to damaging emissions and high
fuel costs
How does the system work?
The SCR system on AGCO SISU
POWER e3 engines treats the
exhaust gases that would normally
enter and damage the atmosphere,
using AdBlue® diesel exhaust fluid.
AdBlue is metered in precise
quantities and is injected via the
Bosch control system into the
exhaust, which includes a catalytic
converter.
Simple to use, easy to maintain
There’s nothing complicated about
the SCR system. It’s incredibly
easy to control and maintain. The
AdBlue is held in a separate tank
located next to the fuel tank and is
consumed at the maximum rate of
3% AdBlue to diesel, the AdBlue
tank only needs to be filled every
second fuel tank fill.
A 600 litre container of AdBlue is
enough to treat 20,000 litres of
diesel safely whilst still allowing for
optimum performance throughout.
Selective Catalytic Reduction can
cut fuel consumption by a minimum
of 5% compared to equivalent
engines using alternative emission
reduction systems. On average, this
is the equivalent to thousands of
litres of fuel saved every year.
Reduced fuel consumption means
a signicant reduction in carbon
dioxide (CO
) emissions. Due to
2
highly optimised combustion,
particulate emissions are over
83% lower than current legislation
demands. This is exceptionally
benecial for the environment and
to people’s health. Other gaseous
emissions, such as hydrocarbons
and carbon monoxide (CO)
emissions, are lower than generally
in Stage 3A engines, making this
engine safe and future proof.
The characteristics of the SCR
system means that optimised
combustion generates around
15% less heat.This reduction in
heat means the cooling package is
lighter and more efcient.
The life span of SCR equipment is
equal to the engine’s lifetime, and
the system is practically service
free. The operator hardly notices
the presence of SCR at all. What
the operator will notice however, is
the signicant savings in
operating costs.
SCR (Selective Catalytic
Reduction) technology will be
essential for meeting the strictest
emissions limits at the beginning
of the next decade, whilst saving
money on rising fuel costs and
protecting the environment for the
next generation.
This is technology for tomorrow,
ready for you to use today. For
your future, for your business,
for the environment.

Innite wisdom
In order to give you the highest possible power and productivity,
we use the best transmission system. Our award-winning high
horsepower tractors all share this ground-breaking, state-of-the-art
functionality.
Dyna-VT is built around careful,
thoughtful design that gives
optimum durability to the machine
and total operator comfort to you.
Ensuring maximum productivity,
reduced physical strain on the
operator and optimum fuel
efciency at all times.
Stepless precision
Dyna-VT is intuitive; not only does
it make life easier when working
in differing conditions but it’s also
amazingly simple to use. There’s
no shifting of gears, no jolts and no
breaks in traction or power.
Constantly in control
The unique power control lever
makes forward/reverse shuttling
and speed change convenient
and hassle-free; when baling and
foraging, for example, you can
choose to control the machine
by foot pedal or, depending
on conditions and specic
applications the operator has a
choice of operating modes.
Pre-set speed control
Forward and reverse speed and
rate of acceleration can be pre-set
within each of two ranges.
By using SV1 and SV2 and
‘pre-setting’, the speed will be
maintained automatically and also
memorised at engine shutdown.
Headland turns, loader work and
many more eld operations become
faster, easier and less tiring.
The ‘Supervisor’
The ‘Supervisor’ is on continuous
stand-by and activates when
engine speed falls under load.
The benet of the ‘Supervisor’ is
that even when the load on the
engine is increased and engine
speed drops, the transmission
will automatically reduce forward
speed to maintain total power,
whether in PTO applications,
eldwork or transportation.
When used in conjunction with SV1
and SV2, which set a specied
forward speed, the tractor will then
operate at maximum output as
load uctuates. Fine adjustments
can be made on-the-move as
response is immediate, making
numerous applications hassle-free.
Dynamic Tractor Management
(DTM) - Intelligent machine
management for optimum fuel
efciency
To keep you in constant control
and comfort we now offer Dynamic
Tractor Management (DTM),
a new feature, which works in
conjunction with Dyna-VT. This
electronic management system will
automatically control the engine
and transmission when activated.
DTM controls the engine speed
according to the load on the
tractor. It maintains the required
forward speed whilst at the same
time minimising the engine revs in
order to keep fuel consumption to
a minimum.
DTM will manage the engine
between 800-2260 rpm but it can
manually set an upper or lower
speed limit in which the DTM will
still work exceptionally well.
The system works in harmony with
Dyna-VT, allowing you the option
of lever or pedal modes.
Dyna-VT and Dynamic Tractor
Management (DTM) will work
consistently at maximum efciency
and economy whilst maintaining
a smoother drive quality and
a noticeable reduction in fuel
consumption.

In-Cab
excellence
Like its exterior,
the MF 8600’s
interior is modern,
uncluttered and
ergonomically
sound, offering
you the ultimate
operating space.
This spacious cab has been
specically designed with
the operator’s comfort and
well-being in mind.
We understand that you may
spend many hours in your tractor,
so it’s important to feel relaxed
within a pleasant environment.
The ‘Panorama’ cab features a
purposeful layout, with superb
instrumentation, intuitive Dyna-VT
controls and levers and switches
thoughtfully grouped on the new
armrest to the right of the operator.
The ‘Panorama’ cab now boasts
four pillars rather than six so
visibility is unrestricted. The cab
is now 28% more spacious,
compared to that of the MF 8400
Series tractor.
Signicantly improved
ride quality
As well as an extremely comfortable
drivers seat, the MF 8600
cab is tted with a brand new
4-point suspension system. It
uses the latest in hydraulic ram
and accumulator technology,
through the use of sensors, which
intelligently provides information to
ensure the cab is at an even level.
16
OptiRide Plus cab suspension
system has been awarded the gold
medal for innovation at SIMA 2009.
For even more comfort you may
prefer the award-winning OptiRide
Plus as an option. This allows the
operator to completely control the
level of damping through the dial in
the cab. Via a number of sensors
and data collected through the
tractor CAN-BUS, the system will
automatically adjust the damping
of the cab suspension. Information
on rolling and pitching is fed to the
‘central cab suspension control
box’, which maintains damping
and can provide up to 25% more
comfort.

More productivity,
enhanced comfort
You’ll always nd the usual necessities within our cabs but we
always strive to push operator comfort to the next level. That’s why
you’ll nd new features that will help to make the working day a lot
less stressful.
The ‘Panorama’ cab is 28%
larger, allowing the operator more
room to move around easily and
comfortably in the cab. This extra
space makes provision for the
newly styled ergonomic armrest
which can be positioned precisely
for operator comfort.
The single, wide door and
unobstructed at oor provides
excellent access at all times. It’s
quiet too, with low in-cab noise
levels under load. Fine-tuning of the
machine means noise quality has
been improved considerably.
The control centre
For added convenience, the
control centre next to the armrest
houses the controls for PTO, front
and rear linkage, draft and position
control and steering settings. By
encasing these controls within
the panel prevents any risk of
accidental operation.
Datatronic Control
Centre Display
The Datatronic 4-Control Centre
Display (CCD) has a perfectly
positioned 7” colour monitor.
Mounted on the armrest, it is
fully adjustable to allow optimum
viewing of all the tractor’s
functions.
The operator area within the
MF 8600 Series cab is built to
the highest levels of comfort and
usability. As you would expect,
the instrument panel is clear and
concise and has been designed
for optimum visibility. It’s mounted
conveniently on the telescopic
steering column along with the
multi-function lever, dot matrix
controls and ‘Power Control’
lever. All of which can be tilted
so everything moves with your
body’s movement for comfort
and extra control.
The instrument panel has two
main digital displays as well as
an analogue rev counter. All main
tractor warning functions can be
viewed from here as well as engine
coolant temperature, oil pressure,
AdBlue and fuel tank levels, so you
are always in total control of your
machine.
Little extras make a
big difference
Sometimes it’s the little things that
can make a huge difference to how
you work every day. The MF 8600
suspended cab is available with
numerous features including a cool
box, extra plug sockets for mobile
phones and laptops, radio and CD
player, air suspended swivel seat,
telescopic side mirrors and electric
de-icing. Optional extras include
CD Player with MP3 compatibility,
Dynamic suspended cab,
super-deluxe air suspended seat
and automatic air conditioning.
Solar energy for extra power
A new solar panel, located on the
cab roof, is just another costeffective and environmentallyfriendly way to get the most from
your machine. The solar panel
will compensate for any natural
battery loss and will maintain a full
battery all-year-round, even when
the tractor is not in use. There’s no
need to worry about cold start in
the winter.
The solar panel uses only 100%
renewable energy and will maintain
battery longevity.

Meeting operational
demands precisely
With power, versatility and durability of operation as key design
criteria, the PTO system has a standard specication that meets
all operational demands.
New Front PTO
A new front PTO is now available
as an option across the range.
With 6 splines at a PTO speed of
1000 rev/min, the combination
of robust front linkage and
various PTO options will intensify
productivity and exibility.
High specication PTO
Fully independent 540 Eco/1000
rev/min or 1000/1000 Eco rev/
min PTO is available. Additional
fender-mounted engagement and
emergency stop buttons also give
added convenience and safety.
Power with economy
Nominal PTO speeds are achieved
at, or near to, 2000 rev/min which
is also maximum engine power.
With the benet of a ‘constant
power’ band of up to 600 revs
and the ability, with Dyna-VT, to
precisely select any ground speed
at the chosen engine speed, you
can always achieve a perfect match
of PTO speed, forward speed and
power – with optimum economy.
Economy PTO
For lighter duty work, ‘540 Eco’ or
‘1000 Eco’ PTO speed is achieved
at around 1600 engine revs, further
improving fuel economy and helping
to reduce in-cab noise levels.
Automated PTO control
In ‘Auto’ mode, the PTO is
automatically disengaged when
the linkage is raised (or when
travelling at speeds above 25 km/h)
and re-engaged when the linkage
is lowered.
Further reducing the need for
operator input, the Transmission
Controller monitors and controls
PTO engagement depending on
load. This gives a smoother ‘takeup’, giving improved driver comfort
and also helping to protect both
implement and tractor from damage
due to inappropriate engagement.
Differential locks and
4-wheel drive
The Transmission Controller also
takes care of many of the normally
repetitive tasks of 4-wheel drive
and differential lock operation.
The system also engages the
differential lock when you need it;
when the implement is lowered
into work and disengages it when
you don’t.
QuadLink suspended front axle
Now tted as standard on all
MF 8600 Series tractors, the
QuadLink front axle has excellent
ground clearance and maintains
good turning angles even with
larger tyre sizes.
Accurate, precise steering
All MF 8600 Series tractors are
equipped with hydrostatic steering
which provides light, positive
and accurate steering under all
operating circumstances.
SpeedSteer - for exact turns
This new, optional feature 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. The system
can be switched on and off. Above
18 km/h, it automatically switches
off for safe operation at high speed
in the eld and on the road.
Auto-Guide for faster, precision
farming
The optional Auto-Guide satellite
navigation system uses leading
GPS technology to guide your
tractor and implements at higher
rates of speed and accuracy. This
is especially valuable for more
accurate operation at night, in low
visibility or when working in preemergent crops.
Auto-Guide steers the tractor,
without operator input, to make
parallel bouts avoiding overlap
or un-worked land. This reduces
driver fatigue and fuel usage,
eliminates unnecessary chemical
application and can signicantly
increase productivity.

Responsiveness
is second nature
We have always been industry leaders when it comes to hydraulics
and linkage. In part, it’s what we’re famous for but our continual
renement of the Massey Ferguson linkage system means more
productivity, power and responsiveness, for the operator, in the eld.
More accurate draft control
Massey Ferguson’s digital
ELC system gives the highest
standards of draft control with
more accurate depth settings and
better ground contour following.
The result is more weight transfer,
better traction, less wheel slip,
reduced tyre wear and reduced
fuel consumption whilst still
maintaining greater output.
Convenient controls
Frequently used controls and the
ELC control panel are mounted
on the armrest for straightforward,
accurate operation. The system
incorporates advanced integrated
features such as sensitivity, quick
soil engagement and automatic
drop speed as standard.
For faster implement attachment
the rear linkage can also be
operated from push buttons on
each rear fender.
Fast hydraulic response
The Closed Centre Load-Sensing
(CCLS) hydraulic system provides
175 l/min oil ow for both linkage
and external services with virtually
instantaneous response, with no
wasted power - or fuel.
Implement hook-up is
simple, with ‘decompression
hydraulic couplers’ that enable
equipment to be connected and
disconnected under pressure.
Auxiliary spool valves
Four electro-hydraulic valves are
tted as standard and a further
6 rear spool valves are available
if required, the Fingertip Spool
Valve Management System
enables complex equipment to be
controlled with ease and precision.
Separate spools are dedicated to
the operation of the front linkage,
and front couplers, as well as
the dromone auto hitch when
specied.
Power beyond
Built into the CCLS spool block is
the ‘Power beyond’ facility. Extra
ow and return pipes provide
oil ow directly from the pump,
enabling additional remote spool
valves to be connected.
Standard Active Transport
Control (ATC)
When driving across the headland
or transporting heavy mounted
equipment, implement ‘bounce’
can occur.
Active Transport Control is a
shock-absorbing system which
minimises the ‘pitching’ action –
automatically adjusting for different
implement weights.
This gives smoother, safer, faster
transport and, by reducing shock
loads through the lift rams and
hydraulic circuits, also minimises
the risk of damage to the lift
system.
ATC and QuadLink
ATC operates in conjunction with
the QuadLink suspended front axle
to give exceptional stability when
transporting or operating mounted
equipment at speed, giving greater
comfort, safety and productivity.

Highly specied rear axle
and linkage
Like everything else on the
MF 8600 Series, the rear axle and
3-point linkage are highly specied.
Twin external lift rams, high
visibility pick-up hitch and drawbar,
quick-attach hook top and lower
links, external linkage control on
both rear fenders, twin variable
oat telescopic stabilisers and
three spool valves are all standard
equipment. Rear linkage lift
capacity is an immense 12,000kg.
Ex
ceptionally powerful brakes
As you would expect, a tractor
range as powerful as the MF 8600
Series needs an extraordinarily
strong braking system. All models
are tted with oil immersed,
power-assisted disc brakes which
give reassuring, fade-free braking,
even with heavy loads.
Optional factory-tted pneumatic
trailer brakes can be tted, adding
comfort and safety when driving
with heavy loads at high speeds.
Integrated Front Linkage
System (IFLS)
MF 8600 Series tractors come
complete with a brand new,
fully integrated front linkage
system. This new system has
been consolidated into the
overall design of the machine
and complements the front
suspension perfectly.
Two front hydraulic couplers with
dedicated spool valves provide
hydraulic service for implements
and, with an overall lift capacity
of over 5,000 kg, the MF 8600
Series tractors’ immense capability
can easily handle heavy-duty
applications.

What our customers
have to say
Peter Jensen farms
around 800 hectares
of combinable crops south of
Randers in Denmark, with his
brother Mogens, operating a
rotation comprising winter wheat,
oilseed rape and winter barley. In
2008 he was invited to use a new
MF 8600 Series tractor.
Here’s his verdict.
“My rst impressions were that
the MF 8690 looks very strongly
built and heavily proportioned,
particularly with regard to the front
axle, chassis side rails and 3-point
linkage.”
“It feels good to drive, very easy
to operate and the ride is steadier
due to the OptiRide suspension.
The view from the cab is excellent
and is much more spacious too.
It’s good to have all the main
controls on the Control Arm.”
“I like the new, modern styling
and really appreciate the pivoting
bonnet, which gives easy access
to the cooling package and air
cleaner for daily maintenance.”
Mr Jensen is also impressed
by the MF 8690’s eld and fuel
performance. “After sowing 550
hectares of winter wheat using a
6-metre Amazone power harrow/
seed drill combination, it appears
that the fuel consumption on a
ratio of litres per hectare was
considerably lower compared to
my previous tractor,” he reports.
“However, with the MF 8690, I was
able to travel at a faster average
speed, with the higher productivity
providing a good saving in time. It
also makes it easier to get the job
done on time.”
Asked what would make him
choose a Massey Ferguson
tractor over a competitor’s model,
Mr Jensen replies: “I want a
tractor with the most advanced
technology, with efcient cab
suspension and with renowned
engine and transmission
technology. I also appreciate the
network and back-up behind
Massey Ferguson.”

Kai-Richard Schlichting
runs a substantial
contracting operation around
the town of Hindenburg,
Sachsen-Anhalt region of Germany.
Besides employing 25 permanent
staff, the business runs 15 tractors –
eight of which are Massey Ferguson
machines. This means he should be
well-qualied to comment on the
new MF 8600 Series.
“My initial impression was
extremely positive, proving to me
that we had made the right decision
in opting to use Massey Ferguson
within our company,” Kai-Richard
Schlichting states. “Compared
to earlier models, the MF 8600
is a step forward in its extremely
successful development, which is
underlined by its provoking and
appealing design.”
in the
“The MF 8600 is extremely
user-friendly, being simple
to understand and operate,”
he continues. “The switch
arrangement is simply and clearly
laid out – for example, it is now
very easy to operate the cruise
control setting on the console. In
addition, the cab is very spacious,
quiet, clearly laid-out
and comfortable.”
Kai-Richard Schlichting has also
formed a highly positive view of
the SCR technology’s potential to
reduce both diesel consumption
and emissions. “I think it makes
you feel good to be able to deliver
a full service to customers, while
at the same time contributing
something to the environment
and nature – which is what we
contractors live off at the end of
the day.”
There are numerous reasons why
Kai-Richard Schlichting
continues to invest in
Massey Ferguson tractors in
order to provide a round-the-clock
service 365 days a year.
High on the list is to be able to
call on good, exible dealers.
“Everyone from the dealers
themselves, area managers and
demonstrators are always available
and ready to act, responding
quickly and constantly on hand to
help with problems,” he says.
“As for the tractors, it is the
robustness of the extremely
powerful engine, the userfriendliness and the diesel
consumption that continue to
astound us.”
James Bolton
is a contractor
based in Somerset,
UK. He currently
owns a eet of
Dyna-VT tractors,
which have helped
to run his business
for over 13 years.
James says that when Dyna-VT
was introduced it was a real
turning point for tractor operators,
“We are busy all year round so
we need good, strong reliable
tractors. Dyna-VT gives us
productivity and comfort without
loss of torque and power.”
“What both ourselves and our
customers particularly like is the
fuel economy and driveability.
Dyna-VT tractors are very easy and
comfortable to drive, even during
heavier road haulage applications.
Fuel efciency is a major issue
for all farmers and contractors so
through the use of Dyna-VT, you
can always achieve good engine
speed and power whilst beneting
from controlled fuel consumption.”
