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.

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.

High on productivity...

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.
