Described as ideal front loader tractors, the Massey Ferguson 5M Series comprises six tractors from 95hp to the new 145hp (was 135hp) top model.
Replacing the 5700 M range, on the outside the 5Ms are finished in the new family styling of a diamond grey cab, and a new model logo design on the side of the bonnet, fronted by a black, ribbed grille.
There are no changes to the four-pot 4.4l Stage V engine, but while 5700M customers were able to choose between a synchronised 12×12 mechanical or Dyna-4 powershift transmission, the six 5Ms are only available with the latter. This provides clutch-free control of 16×16 speeds with a 40kph Eco top speed. The AutoDrive option offers automatic shifting in Power or Eco modes, along with Brake-to-Neutral, which automatically disengages drive when the pedal is pressed. Fuel tank capacity is up 24% to 198l. An open-centre, 58l/min hydraulic system is standard (100l/min option), and a new PTO switch is added to the rear fender on the left-hand side.
Options include a new cab suspension system, Visio Roof, uprated air conditioning system and new LED work lights. All six tractors can also come equipped with full MF Guide, including the Fieldstar 5 terminal. MF Guide provides fully automatic steering and is offered with a Trimble or other receivers that provide a range of positioning accuracies. It can also provide several automatic features including section and rate control.
There is a good chance one of the new models will be on display at the Italian EIMA show next week. The UK debut will be at Lamma in January. Production will start sometime Q1 and the first of the new tractors are expected on dealers’ yards late March/early April 2025.
