High quality, high

performance loaders

The MF 900 Series is also

supported by a dedicated

network of Massey Ferguson

dealers offering ﬁrst class

aftersales support.

Choose from an extensive range

Full integration of tractor and

loader is achieved easily with the

MF 900 Series, to suit 50 - 300 hp

Massey Ferguson tractors. You

can choose from either ‘standard’

or ‘parallel’ linkage, available

throughout an extensive range of

12 models, along with numerous

options to enhance performance

and convenience.

High performance design from

the world’s leading loader

manufacturer ensures that these

loaders deliver ﬁrst class versatility

and outstanding reliability.

Massey Ferguson 900 Series loaders have been designed and built

to industry-leading standards to maximise performance, reliability

and ease of operation, without compromising tractor operation or

serviceability.

Visionary design

Excellent forward visibility is

achieved by concealing pipes

and hoses within the beams. This

helps concentration by providing

an uncluttered ﬁeld of view, whilst

dirt and objects cannot get caught,

minimising any risk of damage to

the hydraulics.

Lock & Go - smarter, better

Work smarter with ‘Lock & Go’. A

ground-breaking, semi-automatic

connection and disconnection

system which saves you valuable

time when hooking-up loaders.

By utilising the combination of

a unique sub-frame design, lift

cylinders and locking pin, you can

attach/detach loaders efﬁciently

and reliably, time and again.

Together with the multifunction

joystick control levers you can be

assured of operational ease and

safety with all functions.

advantages.

01 Bale Handling.

Designed for durability

and efﬁciency

Designed speciﬁcally for your

Massey Ferguson tractor, they

offer many outstanding features to

increase your efﬁciency.

Strengthened subframes

Subframes are available to ﬁt most

tractors in the Massey Ferguson

range and now have larger load-

bearing surfaces to strengthen

their already robust construction

and meet the demands of today’s

high performance tractors. The

subframe extends forwards to a

protective grille guard, and in most

cases an extension to the tractor’s

rear axle adds strength and

rigidity. Subframes are designed to

From the strength and security of the subframe to the slim yet

robust design of the welded box section beams, MF 900 Series

loaders deliver industry-leading features that ensure maximum

output from your Massey Ferguson tractor.

allow drive-in attachment, whilst

the semi-automatic ‘Lock & Go’

system retains the loader rigidly

and securely in position.

Protected and concealed

hydraulic hoses

Loader beam design combines

strength and excellent forward

visibility, with the highest quality

‘twin C-section’ steel construction

neatly concealing and protecting

all hydraulic hoses. The strong

transverse cross-tube, which also

houses and protects hydraulic

components, adds strength and

aids visibility through its positioning

near the front of the loader.

All pivot points have greasable,

replaceable bushes, giving long

intervals between lubrication

and enabling quick, inexpensive

replacement. Also all pins are

galvanised and, where stresses

demand, are of a larger diameter

(40mm).

Robotised welding ensures

consistency in construction

throughout, whilst steel undergoes

full preparation and priming before

a tough and durable powder paint

ﬁnish is applied.

Standard ‘Lock & Go’

connection system

For ease of connection and

disconnection all loaders are

designed with the standard

‘Lock & Go’ system. Requiring

no tools and incorporating rigid

support legs, the ‘Lock & Go’

system is simply designed to save

time, enabling straightforward

attachment/detachment.

‘Clic-on’ with integrated safety

function

In addition to the excellent

visibility of the tool carrier,

secure implement attachment

is further aided by the ‘Clic-on’

feature. When an implement is

detached, the ‘Clic-on’ device

holds the locking pins in their

retracted position. Attaching an

implement and rolling back the

tool carrier allows the locking pins

to return to their locked position,

automatically. ‘Clic-on’ is ﬁtted as

standard on Euro and Combi-SMS

tool carriers, making implement

attachment a whole lot easier and

signiﬁcantly safer.

Faster connections

Fast hydraulic coupling of tractor

and loader is made easy by

compact design and colour coded

connections. For faster hydraulic

connection, the ‘Hydroquick’

coupler is available as an option,

whilst ‘Selecto-Fix’ gives similar

beneﬁts when coupling hydraulic

implements to the tool carrier.

Innovative ‘SoftDrive’ system

Stresses on loader and tractor,

as well as the operator, can be

reduced by the optional addition

of the innovative ‘SoftDrive’ shock

absorption system. Available on

all models, hidden and protected

inside the cross tube, ‘SoftDrive’

can be activated when you need

it - particularly useful on rough

terrain or in transport applications

- or switched off for precise pallet

stacking or bale handling.

For maximum driver convenience

an optional electric switch kit

allows ‘SoftDrive’ to be activated

from the driving position.

Through the application of advanced industry-leading technology,

MF 900 Series loaders provide simple practical solutions to the

day-to-day operational challenges of modern farming, ensuring

essential compatibility, easy maintenance and all-round versatility.

The ultimate in

control and comfort

MF 900 Series loaders offer a

range of ergonomically designed

and intuitive control systems that

give you, the farmer, the widest

possible choice.

Optimum ‘feel’ and control

The ‘ErgoDrive’ multi-function

mechanical joystick with a

dedicated hydraulic valve has

been reﬁned over many years to

provide the optimum in ‘feel’ and

control. It can also be ‘parked’

out of the way when not in use.

Alternatively you can specify the

electrically controlled ‘ElectroDrive

CDC’ providing precision and ease

of operation to make light work of

intensive loader applications.

MF 900 Series loaders set the standard in control and ergonomics,

ensuring simple and effective operation, leading to higher levels of

comfort, safety and output.

Other available options include

the ability to operate the loader via

tractor spool valves using either

mechanical or ‘SMS’ joysticks.

Simultaneous function control

All of these systems allow the

operator to control two functions

simultaneously (e.g. lift and crowd,

or lower and dump, etc.), without

moving the lever via neutral. There

is also a ‘ﬂoat’ position, in which

pressure is released from the lift

rams, enabling the attachment to

follow ground contours.

Both ‘ElectroDrive CDC’ and

‘SMS’ joystick systems are

programmable and are therefore

particularly useful for repetitive and

precision stacking operations.

Precise parallel linkage

Ideal for pallet handling and other

operations needing positional

accuracy, MF 925 to MF 985

models feature an innovative

parallel linkage system that

ensures that implements stay

horizontal throughout the lift

range, from ground level to

maximum height.

Additional features also include a

compact implement level indicator

that is adjustable to suit different

implements, plus the option of

third and fourth hydraulic services.

Serviceability of both tractor and loader has been a key

consideration in the design and construction of the MF 900 series;

making it simple, easy and quick.

02 03

On all models the loader

subframes are designed to ensure

that tractor service access is

unimpeded. The loader can be

securely locked in its raised

position; alternatively the ‘Lock

& Go’ system means that any of

the MF 900 Series loaders can

be quickly removed for maximum

access to the tractor.

For added safety and convenience,

all loader pivot points have

outward facing grease nipples

that are easily accessible beneath

opening dust covers.

The easily accessible, centrally-

located distribution valve and

all pivot points with greasable,

replaceable bushes are examples

of our commitment to making

servicing easy and keeping down-

time to a minimum.

You can rest assured that parts

and service support is always

on hand too. Massey Ferguson’s

dealer network is one of the most

extensive in the world, which

means that when you buy a

MF 900 Series loader you are

buying with absolute conﬁdence.
