Tracteurs agricoles Massey-Ferguson : livres - histoire

Massey Ferguson Tractors

This book takes up the story of Massey Ferguson tractors from 1957, after the merger of Massey-Harris and Ferguson, when the red-and-grey colour scheme was used for the first time.
The author describes the early models that were to establish Massey Ferguson's reputation for rugged reliability and adaptability: the 35 and 65 models of the 1960s led to the larger 1100, 1085 and 1155 models, while, in the 1970s and 1980s, greater demands for comfort saw the arrival of the 500 and 600 series.
Overall, the range performs all tasks, from the basic and popular to what is needed by the tractor powerhouses of modern industrial farming.

Moreover, with all the latest developments included, "Massey Ferguson Tractors" brings the reader completely up to date, as well as offering a look at what the future might bring.
With a wide range of modern photography covering both preserved and working examples, this is a fresh and comprehensive view of the one of the agricultural world's most popular manufacturers of tractors, considering the tractors in relation to the time in which they were built as well as by the standards of today.

Massey Ferguson Traktoren 1953-1989 (Typenkompass)

Gleich drei Hersteller von Landmaschinen brachten 1953 ihre Erfahrungen in die gemeinsame neue Firma Massey Ferguson ein: die zwei kanadischen Betriebe Massey und Harris, bekannt für Erntemaschinen, und die britische Firma Ferguson mit großer Kompetenz in der Traktorenherstellung. Gemeinsam bildeten sie eines der weltweit führenden Unternehmen für Landmaschinen und Traktoren.
Heute gehört Massey Ferguson zum AGCO-Konzern und unterhält weltweit fünf Fertigungsanlagen.

Ulf Kaack stellt in diesem Typenkompass alle wichtigen Traktoren vor, die Massey Ferguson von 1953 bis 1989 produziert hat.

NOUVEAU

De 1990 à 2020, Massey Ferguson, une entreprise mondialement renommée, a connu une progression constante et des innovations malgré un contexte économique difficile et une concurrence sévère. Pendant ces trois décennies, la gamme de tracteurs s'est diversifiée pour répondre aux besoins spécifiques de chaque agriculteur.
En 2020, sur le marché français, Massey Ferguson proposait onze gammes principales comprenant cinquante-six types de tracteurs, avec des avancées techniques telles que la dépollution par « AdBlue », l'injection sous très haute pression par rampe commune, la puissance des moteurs, les boîtes de vitesses « Speed-Shift » et « Dyna-Shift », la transmission intégrale, et les suspensions des ponts avant.

L'entreprise a également accordé une attention particulière à l'esthétique, évoluant avec élégance tout en maintenant une cohérence visuelle entre les gammes. En 2020, Massey Ferguson a amorcé un renouvellement profond de sa gamme de tracteurs, marquant une nouvelle ère de progrès.
Ce livre captivant vous guide à travers trente ans d'innovations et d'exploits techniques d'une marque emblématique.

Massey-Ferguson 35 & 36 Models in Detail

Launched in 1958, as the successor to the ubiquitous Ferguson TE20, the Massey Ferguson 35 was a product of the merger of Massey-Harris and Ferguson. It incorporated numerous improvements and new features and became massively popular worldwide.
Its companion, the 65 model, was introduced shortly afterwards and was a larger tractor, offered with the revolutionary Multi Power system that gave 12 forward and four reverse gears.

Durable and versatile, these tractors are still a practical proposition today, and even unrestored examples command high prices. Michael Thorne, author of Ferguson TE20 in Detail, continues the story as he describes the development of these models, the production versions and their capabilities, options and extras, conversions, implements and their use today.

Outstanding surviving examples are featured in some 80 photographs specially taken for this book, and there are approximately 120 accompanying archive illustrations.

Massey Ferguson 100 Series in Detail

Following his well-received books in the 'In Detail' series on the Ferguson TE20 and the Massey Ferguson 35 & 65 models, Michael Thorne turns his attention to the outstandingly successful and well-loved 100 Series of tractors, of which the 135 and 165 were the best sellers, with half a million and 98,000 built respectively.

In this book he tells the story of the development of the new range from the previous 35 and 65, and then gives detailed descriptions and assessments of the important 130, 135, 148 Super Spec, 165, 168, 175 (the largest tractor), 178, 185 and 188 Super Spec models.
These chapters are followed by others on Implements, Conversions & Accessories, the 100 Series Overseas, and the tractors in use today.

Massey-Ferguson Traktoren in Deutschland

Die Geschichte der Massey Ferguson Traktoren in Deutschland beginnt 1949: Auf der DLG-Ausstellung in Hannover wird erstmals der "kleine graue" Ferguson mit der Dreipunkthydraulik gezeigt, als das Unternehmen noch Massey-Harris heisst und in Köln-Westhoven residiert.

1962 verkauft Massey Ferguson, inzwischen im hessischen Eschwege ansässig, mehr Traktoren als jeder andere Hersteller. Heute gehört MF zu dem weltweit tätigen Landtechnik-Konzern AGCO.

Der Autor präsentiert in gewohnt kenntnisreicher Weise die Traktoren, die von Massey-Ferguson in Deutschland angeboten wurden beziehungsweise werden: Vom noch grau lackierten TE-20 mit 25 PS bis zum MF 8700 mit bis zu 400 PS.
Mit vielen bisher unbekannten Fotografien. Ein grosses Vergnügen für alle Traktoren-Liebhaber.
