MF 6400 100 - 230 hp

Dyna-6 Eco speed transmission is fitted to all models in the MF 6400 Series. The Speedmatching version is fitted as standard, and the Autodrive version optional.

The Eco feature provides max speed at 1900 rev/min for economical and quiet operation.

With the standard-fit Dyna-6 Speedmatching version, the tractor is permanently set in the Speedmatching mode so that it will automatically select the most appropriate Dynashift ratio (A-F) once a gear change has been made, up or down.

After starting the tractor, with Dyna-6 there is no further need to use the clutch to change speed or direction. Its straightforward operation means you will always be in the right gear to tackle any job, in any conditions.

A semi powershift gearbox with 4 ranges and 6 Dynashift speeds offers 24 forward and 24 reverse speeds, providing smooth shuttling and gear changes as well as automatic shifting modes for increased output and fuel savings.

Creep and Supercreep options are available providing up to 48-forward and 48 reverse speeds.

A choice of full manual and partially- or fully-automated speed selection is provided, all with clutchless gear and range changes.

For even further productivity and control, the Dyna-6 AutoDrive version can be specified.

The Rotary AutoDrive Controller Dial can be set to either manual or automatic mode enabling the operator to control the gearbox.

In Manual mode the operator makes the upshifts and downshifts himself. In Speedmatching mode when the operator changes range it will automatically find the correct Dynashift ratio. In Automatic AutoDrive mode, the operator can set the dial in order that the gear ratio or range changes are done automatically. This is particularly useful in transport operations as it minimises effort and maximises fuel economy.

Massey Ferguson’s industry-leading information, control and cost management system is optional on all MF 6400 models, and is operated via the full-colour GTA Console. GTA100 Communicator software for operating data management and analysis is standard with the GTA Console.

Datatronic III enables automated equipment operation, gathers and records information, and is compatible with ISOBUS, the standard operating system for the agricultural world. Implement manufacturers’ software can be displayed and controlled on the GTA screen, so there is no requirement for an additional terminal.
Offering simple operation from a straightforward main menu, Datatronic III includes an advanced field and headland management tool with manual or automatic programming at the touch of a button.

Valuable operating data can be transferred to the office computer via an SD card where GTA100 Communicator software can be used for managing records, analysing field and tractor data and exporting data to other farm management programs.

GTA100 Communicator provides a user-friendly programme to produce a range of job records which help manage farm operations more efficiently and aid the traceability of farm activities.

Available as an option, GTA200 Record Keeping software enables users to create reports on specific business areas such as fleet management, equipment usage and field planning.

Add a GPS signal to Datatronic 3 and the location of the recorded along with the tractor data. GTA300 (available as an upgrade option) then allows the user to create maps of areas worked plus analysis of tractor performance and field conditions for improved management decisions.

Complying with the most stringent emissions legislation Perkins and AGCO SISU POWER engines ensure that more power and even higher torque are matched perfectly to the job.

All MF 6400 models feature Tier III engines with common rail injection and four valves/cylinder and electronic control, for increased power and torque characteristics, constant idle speed, lower noise and reduced emissions.

The MF 6445-MF 6480 now feature increased power ratings at maximum ISO hp of +8hp to +11hp.

‘Power boost’ (standard) automatically provides extra hp to further enhance performance through a second engine curve available at any engine rpm. This means extra hp is available even at low rpm.

In PTO work and transport conditions, extra power is available for increased output and reduced journey time in transport.

The common rail injection system uses an Electronic Control Unit which regulates and optimises injection pressure to match individual operating conditions and loads.

By analysing the engine’s demand more than 100 times a second, the system regulates fuel quantity and injection timing to precisely suit the load. Injection is phased in up to five stages, which is key to reducing emissions while maintaining good fuel economy

Cooling package on Tier III engines has been redesigned to give better cooling capacity and easier maintenance. 6-cylinder models also have new pivoting radiators for better cleaning access.

Life in the tractor cab has never been better thanks to the features on the MF 6400.

The spacious, well-thought out cab has switches and controls grouped by function and information is displayed in either digital, analogue or graphic form.

There is optional manually-adjusted air conditioning or full climate control which retains the memory of the temperature at start-up, automatically maintains a constant temperature and defrosts cab windows in under three minutes.

Air suspension of the optional dual stage suspended cab optimises ride comfort in different operating conditions and the firmness of ride can be adjusted at the flick of a switch to suit field or road transport conditions.

This award-winning design effectively controls low frequency vibration and, with fewer mechanical links between the cab and transaxle, noise insulation is better too.

Optional QuadLink is simple and compact, providing increased driver comfort, as well as safety on the road and in the field.

Regardless of front axle load, oscillation or turning angle, the electronic control mechanism automatically maintains a constant suspension height.

QuadLink virtually eliminates fore and aft ‘pitching’ that can build up when travelling at speed, enabling faster transport. In field work, QuadLink reduces shock loads on both tractor and driver, leading to increased comfort for the operator and less component stress and wear for the machine.

With wheels maintaining full contact with the ground for more of the time, front wheel traction is boosted by up to 20% and steering is safer and more positive.

A choice of Open or Closed Centre Load Sensing systems with oil flow up to 110 l/min enable precise matching of hydraulic power requirements.

Lift capacities range from 5850 Kg to 9100 Kg, and external spool valve couplers enable equipment to be connected and disconnected under pressure, for better implement hook-up.

Electronic linkage control is as standard, for more accuracy, ease-of-use and reliability when employing implements, and there is a choice of mechanical or up to four electro-hydraulic spool valves.

Front axle support and Massey Ferguson Integrated Linkage System (ILS) is available on 6-cylinder models.

Front axle support casting incorporates mounting points for the front linkage making it stronger and more durable.

The front linkage design is compact and includes a towing clevis, electric connector and provision for two spool valve couplers.

A range of electronic driving aids - many fitted as standard – ensures easy operation, high quality and high productivity.

This range includes Rear Dual Control for automated control of semi-mounted ploughs; Trailed Implement Control for maximum output with trailed equipment; Spool Valve Management System for precise control of external oil flow, and Front Dual Control for integration of control of front and rear-mounted implements.

The MF 6400 Series can be specified with a huge range of individual options, but to make life simpler and more cost-effective, choose from these ‘option packs’ and get great value-for-money.
