Massey Ferguson will introduce its new 1700 Series compact tractors at the 2013 Farm Progress Show, Aug. 27-29 in Decatur, Ill.

The 1700 Series tractors, building upon the success of the popular 1600 Series, feature new Tier 4-compliant turbo-charged diesel engines.

“Operators today are looking for a comfortable tractor that is productive and powerful, yet efficient, regardless of what type of work they’re doing,” says David Bercik, product marketing manager for Massey Ferguson. “These newly designed 1700 Series tractors deliver exactly that.”

The Series offers six models from 35 to 60 gross engine horsepower, all featuring four-wheel drive, the option of a cab or open platform, a choice of two transmissions, plus rear and/or mid PTOs. Those attending the Farm Progress Show can stop by the AGCO lot and see these productive tractors in person. (more…)
