A new 32hp compact tractor with an 8 x 8 synchro-shuttle transmission and creep speed option will be unveiled by Massey Ferguson on stand number A23a, located immediately inside the main entrance to Hall A at BTME 2008.
Known as the MF 1532, the tractor replaces the existing MF 1533 model in Massey Ferguson's 1500 Series compact tractor line-up for the grounds care market.
Principal features of the new MF 1532 are an 8 forward, 8 reverse synchro-shuttle transmission with the option of creep gears to provide an additional 4 forward and 4 reverse speeds; an independent power take-off with push button activation; a heavy-duty front axle and twin spool valves with optional joystick control.
Equipped with a rear foldable roll-over protection structure (ROPS), the MF 1532 will appeal to golf courses, local authorities, landscapers and ground staff needing a rugged, versatile, no-frills tractor capable of handling a wide range of tasks from turf aeration and trailer towing to spraying, spreading and front-end loading.
The exhibit will also feature one of MF's four 3600 Series tractors rated at 58hp to 91hp, a 22.5hp MF GC2300 tractor with mid-mower deck and manual and hydrostatic models from Massey Ferguson's 19.5hp - 46hp MF 1500 Series tractors.
Picture Image :-Shown is the agricultural version of the new MF 1532 32hp compact tractor. The standard version of the tractor is equipped with a rear-mounted folding ROPS and has a choice of turf or agricultural tyres in a range of sizes.
