Massey Ferguson has announced UK prices for its big low-emissions MF 8600 series tractors, which were officially launched at the EIMA show in Italy this week.

UK customers will have two specification levels to choose from. ST is the standard spec, while the Excellence adds fast-steer, super deluxe seat, better CD player with MP3 compatibility, front roof hatch, Optiride Plus suspension, climate control and integrated 5t front linkage.

They are also the first Massey Fergusons to get Datatronic 4, the latest version of Massey's high-tech performance monitoring and adjustment system.

First deliveries to dealers are expected in May/June 2009.
