Massey Ferguson has won a Silver Leaf for its new MF 3700 tractors in the Innovation Awards presented at Italy’s Fieragricola Show for agricultural technologies.

The brand-new MF 3700 specialist tractors are aimed at vineyard, fruit, orchard and hill farmers.

The prize was awarded by the expert jury for the machine’s front-axle suspension and new multi-function hydraulic joystick which groups the clutch, transmission and implement functions into one easy control.

In selecting the award- winners, the expert jury considers innovation and originality, the impact on environmental and economic sustainability, product quality improvement and product functionality.

Gianluca Gherardi, Massey Ferguson National Sales Manager, Italy said: “We are thrilled to receive a Silver Leaf award. With models dedicated to each specialist farming category, the new MF 3700 Series features top quality, straightforward machines, providing high performance, superb fuel efficiency, extreme comfort and versatility.”

The Wide Fruit version is a brand-new model with a wider chassis for greater stability, making it also ideal for hillside vineyards and livestock farms with sloping fields
