• MF Previews MF 3600 Special and MF 3600 Vineyard tractor prototypes at the show - in Ferguson Grey to mark 50 years of Massey Ferguson’s commitment to the Vineyard, Special and Fruit sectors of the industry

• Massey Ferguson launches four new MF 3600 Fruit tractors  - the latest in its MF 3600 range roll-out

The launch of the new MF 3600 F tractor range and the appearance of new MF 3600 V and MF 3600 S tractor prototypes painted in Ferguson Grey at the SITEVI exhibition in Montpellier, France during 27-29 November 2007 will add significant colour to the show.

The Ferguson Grey concept machines will be displayed to gain customer feedback prior to their expected launch during 2008, Massey Ferguson’s 50th anniversary year.

On 19th November 1957, the famous Triple Triangle made its distinguished debut, in advance of the creation in 1958 of the new “Massey Ferguson” company, born of its then 110 year Massey Harris Ferguson pedigree.

David Chinn, Massey Ferguson’s General Marketing Manager for Low, Medium HP and Specialist Tractors, explains,

“We are adding a splash of a very special colour at the SITEVI exhibition.
As you would expect, the new MF 3600 F will be displayed in resplendent Massey Ferguson red. What will surprise many visitors to the show will be the display of two very special prototype machines  - the MF 3600 Vineyard and MF 3600 Special tractors, both proudly painted on original Ferguson Grey and featuring a special MF 50 Years logo. The launch of the MF 3600 F and the anticipated launch of the all new MF 3600 V and S machines over the coming year will be one of the highlights of 50 years of investment by Massey Ferguson in the crucially important Vineyard, Special and Fruit sectors”.
