Training roadshow gives MF dealers inside track on new Topcon systems
Published date May 10, 2010
Massey Ferguson UK dealers were among the first to be trained on the new Topcon auto-guidance systems being introduced on MF tractors.
Latest field reports of the new Topcon System 150 fitted to Massey Ferguson machines are providing exceptionally positive feedback. Although the System has been only recently launched by Massey Ferguson, a UK dealer has already posted a video on YouTube where the results speak for themselves: perfect straight ridges, ready for planting the finest English potatoes.

“The new arrangement with Topcon allows us to offer the progressive farmer a complete line-up of guidance products ranging from low-cost entry-level (System 110) to full auto-steering,” comments Dr Mark Moore, Manager Product Marketing, AGCO Advanced Technology Solutions.
The Topcon training sessions in the UK were part of the full ‘Moving Forward .2010’ dealer training roadshow spearheaded by Andy Prosser, Manager Sales Support and John Gregson, Product Support Manager who travelled from Yeovil in south-west England to Perth in Scotland to deliver the programme. The training sessions also included updates on the MF 5400, MF 6400 and MF 7400 Series tractors.
