A new ‘workhorse’

AGCO has launched the new Global 6700 Series Massey Ferguson 6713 tractor. Debuted at Agrosalon 2016, the model caught farmers’ attention straightaway.

‘The Massey Ferguson 6713 perfectly combines cutting-edge technologies and modern design with power capacities required for farms’, says Aleksandr Polovinkin, Sales Manager of AgroCentreZakharovo.

The maximum engine capacity of the Massey Ferguson 6713 is 132 hp, the rear linkage featuring external lifting cylinders has the lift capacity of 5,200 kg. Specially for this tractor, engineers designed a new transmission with 12 forward and 12 reverse gears. The synchronised gearbox of the new transmission equipped with mechanical shutters allows shifting gears within the range without stopping the tractor, which reduces the load on the engine significantly and, as a result, saves fuel and time. Maximum tractor speed is 40 km/h.

The compact and powerful AGCO POWER engine serves to reduce the wheelbase up to 2.5 metres! As a result, the tight turning radius makes the Massey Ferguson 6713 the most manoeuvrable tractor in the 150-hp machine segment, which is important for farm work. The Massey Ferguson 6713 is equipped with a multiple-disk PTO, which is well-known for its wear resistance. It facilitates the work with forage machinery and feed mixers and extends the maintenance-free lifetime.

Another advantage of the Massey Ferguson tractor is that it is produced in Russia, at the AGCO-RM facility in Golintsyno, Moscow oblast. Localisation of production will make the company eligible for the 1432 State Subsidy Program (Government Regulation #1432). The entities included into this programme have a possibility to sell farm machinery to Russian farmers with a 25% discount.

Currently, medium-power tractors are the worldwide best sellers.

‘This popularity is easy to explain’, says Aleksandr Polovinkin, ‘these machines fit both small farms and large agricultural holdings.’
