Specific features have been developed to enable operators to make their tractors work more efficiently, cutting fuel consumption, getting the best out of implements, and minimising service costs. These compact engines use the advanced and highly efficient All-In-One SCR technology. A heavy duty Integrated Front Linkage System (IFLS) is available as an option, designed to match the front suspension. The operator can activate a new ‘eco’ mode by flicking a switch in the cabin. Oil flow and engine RPM are managed to reduce fuel consumption even further.
“Our cutting-edge farm management solutions allow farmers to monitor machines, operate implements simply and effectively, analyse operations more closely and, above all, keep control of costs,” said Dr. Reus. An optional 7″ Datatronic 4 Monitor displays important tractor information and records, shows memory functions and tasks, and oversees automation of headland management, trailer steering axle management and dual control.
Available as an option on Efficient and Exclusive models, Datatronic 5 gathers and stores data on both tractor and precision farming setting. In addition, the terminal can be used to control MF Auto Guide, ISOBUS and cameras. MF Connect service enables the farmer and dealer to coordinate, optimise, and seamlessly connect a fleet to manage maintenance proactively and monitor equipment in the field remotely.
“We are investing heavily in South Africa to establish confidence in us as the preferred supplier in terms of mechanisation and technology. It has been accelerated now with technology in terms of a direct connection between the farmer, dealer, and us. We have aligned with our partners, the dealers in South Africa, to offer a better service and improve our turnaround times so our customers have the best experience and maximise their equipment uptime,” concluded Dr. Reus.
