MASSEY Ferguson, a worldwide brand of AGCO (NYSE:AGCO), announces the launch of the new MF 9S Series, which includes six models with powers from 285hp to 425hp. All feature the innovative Protect-U design and bring more power, comfort, control and automation to the sector.
Designed to deliver optimum versatility, the new large frame MF 9S are all equipped with the renowned Dyna-VT transmission as standard and come with host of new features to boost productivity and performance.
The tractor is the result of seven years of intensive customer research across the world, inspiring the development of the MF 5S, MF 6S and MF 7S Series – designed for farmers and by farmers.
The flagship tractor range, which is the first to feature the new MF logo, builds on the success of its highly regarded predecessor.

"The introduction of the MF 9S Series represents a significant milestone for Massey Ferguson in Australia and New Zealand," said Haydn Reeves, Senior
Manager, Marketing for Massey Ferguson in Australia, New Zealand, and the Far East.
"Our Australia and New Zealand product management team collaborated closely with the dedicated global team to ensure that the development process of the All-New MF 9S considered the specific requirements of our region.
"As a result, the All-New MF 9S Series is set to be introduced in Australia and New Zealand in 2024.
"It features a remarkable horsepower increase, with some models offering up to 425HP, a significant enhancement compared to the previously cherished MF 8700S Series, which reached a maximum of 370HP.
"This improvement, combined with farmer-centric enhancements in cabin comfort, operational efficiency, and technological advancements, is poised to redefine the Massey Ferguson High Horsepower range in Australia and New Zealand."
