The Massey Ferguson 5M Series has received the Red Dot award for Product Design 2025. The award is judged by an international jury of 43 professionals from across 21 countries, with the last year launched 5M tractor series, chosen for its design quality.

“We are grateful to the jury of experts for this valuable award, testifying the innovative design of one of our most sold MF series in the world,” says Jérôme Aubrion, Director Marketing Massey Ferguson, Europe & Middle East.  “It is an achievement in terms of aesthetic appeal and functionality,” he continues.

“The MF 5M combines the latest developments in product design, with straightforward and accessible features for ensuring performance and efficiency to all type of farmers, with value for money,” he concludes.

All-rounder

MF 5M tractors feature the latest Massey Ferguson family design, now familiar on the higher specification S-Series models. The brand’s styling characteristics features a diamond grey cab and the emblematic sabre line with the new model logo design on the side of the bonnet, fronted by a black, ribbed grille.

The six models in the range are powered by the latest AGCO Power four-cylinder engines, that meet the Stage V emissions regulations, with the award-winning ‘All-in-One’ emissions system. Located neatly beneath the cab, with the exhaust in-line with the front, right-hand cab post, this provides superb, all-round visibility.

All tractors in the MF 5M Series come equipped with Dyna-4 transmission, that provides clutch-free control of 16 forward and 16 reverse speeds, with a 40km/h Eco top speed.

An open-centre, 58 litre/min hydraulic system is fitted as standard to the MF 5M Series, while a 100 litre/min system is an option.  Additionally, the MF 5M Series is particularly suitable for tasks requiring a front loader. Fully compatible with a wide offering of factory-fitted loaders, it provides manoeuvrability thanks to the 4.65m turning radius and the choice of mechanical or electrical joysticks. Finally, the optional Visio Roof allows perfect visibility and safe handling operations.

Smart farming and modern cab

For optimum control, precision and comfort, all MF 5M tractors can come equipped with full MF Guide, including the Fieldstar 5 terminal or as MF Guide ready.  MF Guide provides fully automatic steering and is offered with Trimble, or a choice of other receivers that provide a range of positioning accuracies. This will prove especially helpful for vegetable growers. Massey Ferguson Fieldstar 5 operator interface provides access to MF’s Smart Farming options for automation and improved efficiency.

The roomy, 1.3m wide cab has a completely flat floor and car-style pedals. A large glass area and compact ‘All-in-One’ SCR system, tucked under the cab, maintains high visibility. Comfort is further improved thanks to the cab suspension system, an option on all models, which delivers high shock absorption.
