Massey Cruise Control Tractor

Massey Cruise Control Tractor TRACTORS New Tractors 11-3-22 Massey Feguson became the first company to offer a tractor with a complete "cruise control" automatic drive system when it introduced it's new 3000 and 3600 series tractors at SIMA. "It's the first Massey Ferguson tractor that's 100% designed and built in France," says export manager Michel Borges, about the new tractor line, which ranges in size from 80 to 150 hp. The all-new electronic cruise control system controls engine speed and the transmission. When you get to a desired field operating speed and rpm's, you simply press a button to maintain it. Electronics automatically gear up and down as needed to maintain constant engine speed. You can put a desired speed into the memory. The tractors also feature an all-new, quicker acting electronic controlled hydraulic system, a totally new transmission, and safety features that control the pto and front-wheel drive. For example, the pto always remains stopped at engine start-up and the pto will not engage if the implement shaft is locked in place for any reason. The front-wheel drive will automatically disengage at speeds over 9 mph on the highway, to improve handling. Borges expects the new tractor line to be exported to the U.S. within the next year.
