Operator's Area

Operator's Area (Platform)

Operator comfort and convenience was a top priority when designing the Massey Ferguson 1500 series tractors.

We want you, the customer, to enjoy the experience of owning and operating a Massey Ferguson tractor, so we placed all of the controls right where you would expect to find them and mounted the platform on rubber mounts so when the tractor vibrates, you don’t.

Tilt steering makes room for a wide entry/exit area and then allows you to place it where you want it while operating the tractor.
A new molded rubber floor mat provides sure traction and helps reduce vibration that could be transferred to the operator while giving the tractor a finished look.
Looking at the instrument panel, you might think you are in your car. An easy to read fuel gauge, temperature gauge and tachometer keep you informed of the tractor performance.
- Warning lights located across the top of the instrument panel let you know when there is something that needs to be addressed.
- Other indicators include the glow plug indicator. This lets you know that the glow plugs are warming the engine to improve starting in cold weather. The first position clockwise on the key switch turns the glow plugs on.
- Also included in the light bar is the PTO engagement light to remind you that the PTO is engaged in an effort to keep you safe.
Other safety features include an operator presence system that will shut off the engine if the operator tries to leave the seat with the tractor in gear or the PTO engaged.
A folding ROPS* and retractable seat belt are standard to ensure your safety in the unfortunate incident of a rollover.
