New AGCO tractors turn heads at Farm Progress Show

AGCO featured new Fendt and Massey Ferguson tractors this year at the Farm Progress Show in Boone, IA. Conor Bergin, marketing manager with High-Horsepower Tractors, enjoyed interacting with farmers and seeing their interest in the new products.

The Fendt 700 series combines a lot of new technologies such as a 4-in-1 monitor, where farmers can multitask four tasks at a time. It also features Vario Dock Pro, which allows farmers to transfer data wirelessly and new Cargo Pro Feed Loader technology which allows farmers to pre-set heights to make feeding and loading easier and more efficient. “I call it a ten minute tractor,” Bergin said. “An operator spends ten minutes behind the wheel of that tractor and tell you that it’s actually more intuitive, more easy to use than what they’re used to running in the past. We’ve had really good feedback thus far.”

The Massey Ferguson 7700 series and MT500E offer new amenities such as a new dash with a new display, as well as a whole new front axel with a hydro pneumatic suspension system that contours to the ground and improve the smoothness of the ride.
