Foreword
We would like to welcome you to the ever-growing number of people who own a Massey Ferguson
tractor; people who appreciate quality. We are proud of every tractor that leaves our factories, each being
technically advanced and of a high quality.
This Operator's Manual contains the specifications for your new tractor. Please ensure that all operators
read the instructions and follow them carefully. The pages that follow contain vital information on your
tractor; please read them carefully.
Your Massey Ferguson dealer will guarantee you quality servicing and will provide you with all the
assistance you need. When it comes to servicing, remember that your dealer knows your tractor best and
that he wants you to be completely satisfied.
Please leave this Operator's Manual in the tractor if resold. The subsequent owner will need the
information it contains.
All information and specifications in this manual are up to date at the time of publication. However, our
ongoing policy to improve our products obliges us to reserve the right to make alterations at any time

2.1 Introduction
2.1.1 Introduction - Safety instructions
Operator's Manual
IMPORTANT: This manual must always be kept with the tractor. For extra copies, contact your Massey
Ferguson dealer.
NOTE: This manual is for all users of Massey Ferguson tractors. The availability of the attachments
indicated, on the basic tractor or as accessories, may vary according to the region in which the tractor is
used. To find out which attachments are available in a region, contact a Massey Ferguson dealer.
This manual enables the owner and the operator to operate the tractor appropriately under normal
conditions of use. Providing they follow the instructions carefully, the tractor will give many years of
service in the Massey Ferguson tradition.
During commissioning of the equipment by the Massey Ferguson dealer on the user's premises, the user
must ensure that the operating and servicing instructions are properly understood. If the user has any
doubt regarding the operation or servicing of the tractor, the Massey Ferguson dealer should always be
contacted. It is essential that these instructions are understood and followed.
This manual covers all operating and safety instructions relevant to the Massey Ferguson tractor. For
implements and accessories that may be installed at the time of the tractor's delivery or later, the user
must refer to the Operator's Manuals relating to these implements and accessories.
This chapter supplements any safety instructions given in other chapters of this manual. It lists safety-
related situations that may be encountered during the normal operating and servicing of the tractor with
the purpose of enabling the user to work in complete safety.
Depending on the implements and accessories used, and the working conditions on-site or in the servicing
area, additional precautions should be followed. Massey Ferguson cannot exercise direct control over the
commissioning, operation, inspection, lubrication or servicing of the tractor. Consequently, Massey
Ferguson cannot be held responsible if the user fails to take appropriate safety precautions for the
implements and accessories used, or for the working conditions on-site or in the servicing area.
WARNING:
It is your responsibility to read and understand the instructions that appear in this chapter
before using the tractor. They must be followed by the user.
Servicing, spare parts, accessories and conditions of use
The user must perform daily servicing on the tractor and keep a logbook of operating hours.
Only genuine Massey Ferguson replacement parts should be used when the need arises. Massey
Ferguson dealers supply these genuine parts. Contact your dealer if you require any advice on their
installation and use. Massey Ferguson cannot be held responsible if the owner uses parts other than the
genuine parts sold by Massey Ferguson dealers. Similarly, only accessories specifically adapted to the
tractor should be used.
This tractor is designed for normal farming activities only. Use of the tractor for any other activity,
particularly forestry work, is considered to be contrary to normal use of the tractor.
If the tractor is to be used in abnormal conditions that could cause damage to it, such as in deep water or
in paddy fields, consult a Massey Ferguson dealer to obtain special instructions.
IMPORTANT: Massey Ferguson under no circumstances covers damage caused by the failure to observe
the conditions of use, servicing and repair for its tractors. There is thus no justification for a warranty claim
if the user fails to observe the recommendations for use, servicing and repair in this manual.
IMPORTANT: Massey Ferguson accepts no responsibility in the event of damage to equipment or
personal injury resulting from the failure to observe the conditions of use, servicing and repair for its
tractors.
