Latest products displayed during three-week roadshow An opportunity for dealers and customers to view and find out about all the latest products during the Massey Ferguson Experience Tour in October attracted large numbers of visitors. David Williams joined farmers and contractors at one of the events. The Massey Ferguson tour visited three locations including North Yorkshire, Hertfordshire, and Powys. Presentation sessions on four days at each venue were allocated to different dealers and their customers. Models from each product range were on show – including tractors, combines, grass harvesting machinery, balers, and telehandlers.
First look at 7S Star attractions included the new 5S- and 6S-series tractors as well as the first 7S-series tractor to arrive in the UK. A Massey Ferguson Ideal combine generated many enquiries for
dealers and the grass harvesting machinery also proved popular. Latest generation TH-series telehandlers with new cabs offering even better all-around vision than their predecessors were also attracting lots of attention.
Useful event During Farmers Guide’s visit, sales teams and customers of East Anglia-based dealer Thurlow Nunn Standen also attended the event. “It was a great opportunity to show customers all the product lines in one location, and feedback from everyone who attended was very positive,” explained Thurlow Nunn Standen Massey

Ferguson brand manager, Matt Boardley. “The grassland product line-up is excellent and generated a lot of interest, while we were also very pleased to be able to show potential users around the new 7S-190 Dyna-VT. That will be a key tractor for us in future as it replaces the current 7719S which is a particularly popular model across our trading area. “As well as seeing all the latest products, our customers also enjoyed meeting so many of the Massey Ferguson team members. It was a wellorganised and useful event.” FG
