Massey Ferguson, a worldwide brand of AGCO (NYSE: AGCO), is proud to announce that the MF 7S.245 MARK 2 has won the prestigious ‘Tractor of the Year 2027’ title in the MidPower category, for tractors from 150 to 280 horsepower.
Jérôme Aubrion, Vice-President, Global Marketing, Sales Enablement & Partnerships, Massey Ferguson, stated, “We are delighted that the distinguished panel of judges has selected the new MF 7S.245 MARK 2 as ‘Tractor of the Year 2027’ in the MidPower category. This recognition is particularly meaningful because it reflects the work and passion of our teams, together with the valuable feedback we receive from farmers.”
“This achievement reinforces Massey Ferguson’s commitment to putting farmers first, listening to their needs and turning their feedback into practical solutions and straightforward technology that can make a real difference to their businesses.”
“This is a proud moment for everyone in the Massey Ferguson team and a great motivation for us to keep innovating and delivering on our promises to farmers and contractors around the world.”
The highly respected ‘Tractor of the Year’ awards were presented at the EIMA International show, which is taking place in Bologna, Italy, from 10th to 14th November. Massey Ferguson is exhibiting its machinery and innovations, including the MF 7S MARK 2 in Hall 14, stand C3. The awards are presented annually, following several rounds of intense assessment by a panel of experienced international judges, including hands-on testing of finalists in each of the award categories.
MF 7S.245 MARK 2 ‘Tractor of the Year’
Designed to complete the range, between Massey Ferguson’s MF 7S and MF 8S Xtra series, the MF 7S MARK 2 line-up comprises six models from 170hp to 245hp sharing a new 2,950mm-wheelbase frame. The long wheelbase delivers stability, traction and a 14-tonne permissible gross vehicle weight, while a new front axle maintains agility with a tight 5.3m turning radius.
New 2.0m rear tyre options, developed specially for these tractors by BKT, achieve the optimal combination of weight capacity, footprint size and traction capability for this tractor line-up. For the first time on a tractor of this size, integrated Central Tyre Inflation is available from the factory via MF By You, allowing operators to optimise tyre pressures wherever they are, to maximise traction, load carrying and high-speed transport performance.
Peak efficiency
Power is from AGCO Power’s award-winning CORE75: a 7.5-litre, 6-cylinder, single-turbo engine with 25% fewer parts than its predecessors. It meets Stage 5 emissions requirements using SCR after-treatment without EGR. A broad power band and flat torque curve from 800 to 1,500rpm provide strong, consistent performance without Engine Power Management. Early tests indicate improved fuel efficiency, while HVO compatibility reduces greenhouse gas emissions.
Every model uses the proven Dyna-VT continuously variable transmission, offering easy operation and maximum flexibility through stepless speed control across two ranges. ParkLock is standard, with road speeds of up to 57km/h where regulations allow. A four-speed PTO broadens implement compatibility, while load-sensing hydraulic systems provide up to 190 litres/min, complemented by 9.6-tonnes rear linkage capacity.
Spacious, quiet and comfortable
With 3.4 m3 of space and 6,6 m2 of glass area, the largest cab in this power segment adopts Massey Ferguson’s Protect-U concept, separating the operator from the encapsulated engine to reduce noise, vibration and heat. Superb all-round visibility is provided by the large, inclined windscreen, optional Visio roof, improved side wiper and digital camera packages. High-specification seating, with heating, ventilation and massage options, combines with Category 4 filtration, enhanced LED lighting and extensive storage to further improve operator comfort and safety.
Complete technology package
At the centre of the technology package is the new 12in Datatronic 6 touchscreen. Its higher-resolution, redesigned interface simplifies tractor settings, guidance and data management through operator-customisable display tiles. The Fieldstar 6 offers the same functionality as Datatronic 6, while providing twice the display area for customers who want a larger, full-screen view of their operations.
The MF 7S MARK 2 is also the first Massey Ferguson tractor supplied from the factory with PTx FarmENGAGE. This brand-agnostic farm operations platform connects mixed machinery fleets, enabling wireless data transfer, integrated telemetry and precise monitoring. Tractor, implement, field, crop and task information can be shared by USB or through the Cloud, helping farms turn machine data into coordinated, practical decisions.
MARK 2 designation
Massey Ferguson’s ‘MARK’ model designation was used in the past to herald the arrival of new models delivering industry-leading upgrades and innovation.
Now, formal recognition of the new MF 7S.245 MARK 2 as ‘Tractor of the Year 2027’, confirms the label’s reappearance is fully warranted, as these tractors set a higher benchmark to benefit owners and users in all areas of performance, working efficiency and operator comfort.
