Massey Ferguson 7S.245 MARK 2 Crowned Tractor of the Year 2027

The new Massey Ferguson 7S.245 MARK 2 has officially been named ‘Tractor of the Year 2027’ in the MidPower category, recognising its outstanding combination of performance, innovation, efficiency and operator comfort.

Announced at the EIMA International agricultural machinery exhibition in Bologna, Italy, the prestigious award celebrates tractors that demonstrate exceptional engineering and practical benefits for farmers and contractors.

For Hamilton Ross Group, this is fantastic news and another reason to celebrate the continued innovation of Massey Ferguson, a brand renowned for delivering reliable, high-performance agricultural machinery.

An Award-Winning Addition to the Massey Ferguson Range

The MF 7S MARK 2 range has been developed to bridge the gap between the existing MF 7S and MF 8S Xtra series, offering six models ranging from 170hp to 245hp.

Designed with the needs of modern farming businesses in mind, the new range delivers impressive power, enhanced traction, advanced technology and exceptional comfort.

The MF 7S.245 MARK 2 impressed the international Tractor of the Year judging panel, securing the top award in the MidPower category for tractors between 150hp and 280hp.

The award follows an extensive evaluation process, including practical testing by experienced agricultural machinery specialists.

Powerful Performance and Improved Efficiency

At the heart of the MF 7S MARK 2 is the latest AGCO Power CORE75 engine, a 7.5-litre, six-cylinder power unit designed to deliver strong performance and improved efficiency.

With a broad power band and consistent torque delivery between 800 and 1,500rpm, operators can benefit from reliable pulling power across a wide range of applications.

The engine also features 25% fewer parts than its predecessors, helping simplify its design, while compatibility with Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil (HVO) provides an alternative fuel option.

Every model comes equipped with Massey Ferguson’s proven Dyna-VT continuously variable transmission, delivering smooth, stepless speed control for effortless operation in the field and on the road.

Additional performance highlights include:

• Hydraulic flow of up to 190 litres per minute
• Rear linkage lifting capacity of 9.6 tonnes
• Four-speed PTO for greater implement versatility
• Road speeds of up to 57km/h, where permitted
• A 14-tonne permissible gross vehicle weight

Together, these features make the MF 7S MARK 2 a versatile option for demanding agricultural operations.

Enhanced Traction and Manoeuvrability

The new MF 7S MARK 2 range features a 2,950mm wheelbase, providing excellent stability and traction without compromising manoeuvrability.

A redesigned front axle delivers a tight 5.3m turning radius, making the tractor practical for both fieldwork and tasks around the farmyard.

New 2.0m rear tyre options, developed in partnership with BKT, help optimise traction, load capacity and ground contact.

For the first time on a Massey Ferguson tractor of this size, factory-integrated Central Tyre Inflation is also available through MF By You.

This allows operators to adjust tyre pressures to suit different working conditions, helping optimise traction, load carrying and transport performance.

Exceptional Operator Comfort

Long days in the cab demand a comfortable working environment, and Massey Ferguson has made operator comfort a major priority with the MF 7S MARK 2.

Featuring one of the most spacious cabs in its power segment, with 3.4m³ of interior space and 6.6m² of glass, the tractor provides excellent visibility and a comfortable working environment.

Massey Ferguson’s innovative Protect-U design separates the cab from the encapsulated engine, helping reduce noise, vibration and heat.

Operators can also benefit from a range of premium features, including:

• Heated, ventilated and massage seat options
• Improved all-round visibility
• Optional Visio roof
• Enhanced LED lighting
• Digital camera options
• Category 4 cab filtration
• Generous storage space

These improvements help make demanding working days more comfortable and productive.

Smarter Farming with Advanced Technology

The MF 7S MARK 2 introduces a comprehensive technology package designed to make precision farming and machine management simpler.

At its centre is the new 12-inch Datatronic 6 touchscreen, featuring a redesigned interface and customisable displays that give operators easy access to tractor settings, guidance systems and operational information.

For those looking for an even larger display, the Fieldstar 6 offers the same functionality with twice the display area.

The MF 7S MARK 2 is also the first Massey Ferguson tractor to feature PTx FarmENGAGE straight from the factory.

This connected farm management platform allows operators to monitor machinery, transfer data wirelessly and manage information across mixed machinery fleets.

By bringing together tractor, implement and field data, the technology helps farming businesses make better-informed decisions and manage their operations more efficiently.

A Well-Deserved Award for Massey Ferguson

The Tractor of the Year awards are among the agricultural machinery industry’s most respected accolades, recognising manufacturers that continue to push the boundaries of tractor design and technology.

Speaking about the achievement, Jérôme Aubrion, Vice-President, Global Marketing, Sales Enablement & Partnerships at Massey Ferguson, said:

“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.

The award highlights Massey Ferguson’s continued commitment to listening to farmers and developing machinery that delivers practical improvements in productivity, efficiency and comfort.
