MF 8S.265 Dyna E-Power Exclusive is at the forefront of the MF 8S series, which includes four models from 205 hp to 265 hp, all offering 20 hp more with Engine Power Management.
Completely new, the MF 8S series introduces a new, innovative design in any field - engine, cab, transmissions and propulsion as well as new controls and connectivity. Equipped to a high standard, it comes with various specification packages, which offer great value for money, ensuring that owners pay only for what they need.
What differentiates these tractors is the unique Protect-U design, with the 24cm space that separates the engine from the cab and insulates it from noise, heat and vibration.
The top cab, with four pillars, is the quietest on the market, at only 68dB, with a characteristic sloping windshield that ensures increased space and visibility. Inside, it ensures optimal control by using the new Multipad control lever and the armrest, together with connectivity for intelligent agricultural operations.
A new digital vDisplay MF, attached to the right pillar, replaces the dashboard and leaves only the steering wheel and Power Control lever to provide exceptional visibility over the slender, wasp-like hood.
Complete connectivity is ensured with MF Connect telemetry and Datatronic 5 terminal equipped as standard. There is also the option to use a Fieldstar 5 terminal to manage MF Technologies Suite - including MF Guide, MF Section Control and MF Rate Control.
Completely new, Dyna E-Power dual-clutch technology combines the comfort of a CVT with the efficiency of a semi-automatic powershift gearbox. This reduces power loss by 26% at higher speeds, saving up to 5% on fuel.
Alternatively, the new Dyna-7 powershift semi-automatic transmission is also available in the MF 8S range and offers 28 speeds back and forth. With the same easy operation and reliability of the famous Dyna-6, it provides an extra speed with smoother shifting and is now 15% more efficient.
Built on a 3.5m wheelbase and with a new rear axle, the MF 8S delivers 10% more traction. With PTO and the new powerful hydraulic part, it provides higher performance, operates more efficiently and saves costs. The MF 8S series tractors can also be equipped with rear tires up to 2.05m in diameter (R42), including the exclusive option of the latest VF650 / 75 R42 Trelleborg TM1000 PT.
The award-winning MF 8S Exclusive specification is a comprehensive package that provides operators with exceptional comfort and ease of use, as well as genuine performance-enhanced features to increase productivity and efficiency.
Exclusive models are now available. These will be accompanied by Efficient versions in early 2021, along with the option of a Dyna-VT CVT transmission for all models over the next year.
