Two UK Firsts for Massey Ferguson at Royal Highland Show
Massey Ferguson, a worldwide brand of AGCO, will have two exclusives at this year’s Royal Highland Show – including the first UK outing for its MF 5700 SL Series tractor.
The MF 5700 SL is a whole new genre of tractor in the 100hp-130hp sector, combining the compact dimensions required by livestock and mixed farmers with the performance and power needed for arable work .

The tractor has also been entered in to the Royal Highland Show’s Technical Innovation Award for its state of the art AGCO Power 4.4 litre, four cylinder engine with ‘All in One’ Selective Catalytic Reduction technology that helps it meet the latest Stage IV/Tier 4 Final emissions regulations.
Also on show for the first time in the UK will be the new MF 5700 Global Series tractor – a range that further increases Massey Ferguson’s strength in the below 130hp sector.
MF 5700 SL – A New Type of Tractor
With a 2.55m wheelbase and weighing just 4.8t, the highly versatile MF 5700 SL tractors build on the success of the MF 5600 Series and combine a great power to weight ratio with superb agility.
Awarded Tractor of the Year 2016 in the Best Utility Sector at Germany’s Agritechnica Show, the tractors are available in three versions – Essential, Efficient and Panoramic.
With four models ranging in max horsepower from 100hp-130hp, they are ideally suited to a wide range of field and transport duties.
The range benefits from the most advanced AGCO Power 4.4 litre, four cylinder engine featuring unique ‘All in One’, maintenance free, Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) with Diesel Oxidisation Catalyser (DOC) – helping to meet strict Stage IV/Tier 4 Final emissions regulations. The compact system also tucks neatly away under the right-hand side of the cab, improving visibility.
The tractors include a choice of renowned Dyna-4 or Dyna-6 transmissions, with brake to neutral function to help make light work of loader applications. Meanwhile, a Massey Ferguson designed and built front axle suspension option is also available.
The MF 5700 SL Series comes with a unique choice of three hydraulic systems that offer high flow rates and comprehensive control to suit every application.
All models are equipped with an efficient two pump system that delivers 58 litres/min for the spool valves and linkage, with a separate pump for all internal services. But for those requiring extra flow to boost loader performance there is also a 100 litre/min combined flow option. A 110 litre/min closed centre load sensing (CCLS) system is another option – delivering flow and pressure on demand for optimum output, control and economy.
The MF 5700 SL Series benefits from the same cab comfort as larger models, while offering superb visibility across the steep nosed bonnet and providing sophisticated but straightforward control. A new Speedsteer option makes it possible to vary the number of steering wheel revolutions needed to turn the wheels from lock-to-lock – helping loading operations and ensuring headland turns can be made quicker and with less effort.
An Auto-Guide 3000 automatic steering option is available as well as the AgCommand telemetry system. The recently introduced ‘Go Mode’ on Auto-Guide 3000 also enables users to choose between four steering paths.
All MF 5700 SL Series tractors can be ‘loader ready’ straight from the factory, with a huge range of features to enhance ease of fitting, use and control.
MM 5700 Global Series – Modern, Straightforward and Dependable
The 100hp MF 5710 and 110hp MF 5711 are the latest models to join the innovative MF Global Series range.
Powered by the latest four cylinder engine technology, the new models have a 2.43m wheelbase and are the only tractors purpose built in the 21st Century for their lower power bracket.
The modern, straightforward design makes the machines ideally suited to a range of operations on livestock, dairy and mixed farms. Their modern features and ease of operation also mean they are the perfect loader tractor.
Both new tractors are powered by the state of the art AGCO Power 4.4 litre, four cylinder engine, featuring unique ‘All in One’, maintenance free, Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) with Diesel Oxidisation Catalyser (DOC) – helping meet strict Stage IV/Tier 4 Final emissions regulations. The compact system also tucks neatly away under the right-hand side of the cab, improving visibility.
Specialist engineers have designed a super smooth shifting gearbox purpose built for the MF 5700 range – providing six synchromesh gears in two ranges with 12 forward and reverse speeds. Gears are changed smoothly and easily with the help of hydraulic clutch activation, while the gearbox provides seven gears in the main 4-12km/hr field working range and offers a top speed of 40km/hr.
A class leading air conditioned cab – designed and built in Massey Ferguson’s Beauvais facility specifically for the new MF 5700 range - provides superb visibility, comfort and control.
AgCommand – the advanced telemetry monitoring system – can be retro-fitted as an option.
An advanced open-centre hydraulic system with tandem pump and combined option flow can supply 58 litres/min for the rear linkage and auxiliary spool valves and 27 litres/min for auxiliary circuits including the steering, four wheel drive and diff lock engagement as well as PTO control. For those requiring extra flow – to boost loader performance – the MF 5700 series can be specified with 100 litre/min combined flow system.
The new MF 5700 series tractors benefit from the same robust rear axle design used in the wellproven MF 5600 Series. Meanwhile the rugged three-point linkage’s maximum lift capacity of 4,300kg ensures modern implements can be handled with ease, operated via Massey Ferguson’s tried and tested electronic linkage control (ELC).
The MF 5700 Series is equipped with a two-speed 540/540E rpm as standard, but also comes with the option of a 540/1000 rpm speed PTO, or a 540/540Eco/1000 rpm.
Both the MF 5710 and MF 5711 are fully compatible with the Massey Ferguson 900 and Massey Ferguson 900X loader ranges, available with parallel and non-parallel lifting.
