Front-end loaders
Massey Ferguson has introduced the 948 and 956, two new front-end loaders designed to operate with the new MF 6100 and 8100 series tractors. A Quick-Attach loader mounting system saves time when installing or removing the loader and increases the versatility of the tractor. A self-storing parking stand supports the loader when it is not on the tractor and saves time when installing or removing. The MF 948 is designed for the 6100 series tractor and the 8120. The loader has a lift-up height of 3.8 metres and a lift capacity of 1.9 tonnes, depending on tractor model and tire size. The MF 956 is designed for the 8100 series. It has a lift-up height of 4.3 m and a lift capacity to 2.3 tonnes. Attachments include combination buckets, a bucket quick-attach kit; bucket teeth; round bale spear; grapple fork and hydraulic hose kits.
