Owners of the Stage 5 variants of Massey Ferguson’s 7S and ‘Tractor of the Year’ award winner for 2021, the 8S range, can now have their tractors fitted with a Zuidberg front linkage, front PTO, or both, at their nearest Lynx Engineering dealer. The specific models to benefit from this latest Zuidberg release include the 155hp, 165hp, 180hp, 190hp and 210hp units in the 7S series and the 205hp, 225hp, 245hp, 265hp, 285hp and 305hp models through the 8S product line.
The perfect match
Designed to fit your Massey with unrivalled precision thanks to tractor-specific connections, a Zuidberg front linkage and PTO are the perfect match for your tractor. Front linkage lifting capacities are up to 35kN (approx. 3,560 kg) for 7S tractors and up to 50kN (approx. 5,000 kg) for 8S models without additional support. The linkage comes with a top plate ready for fitting of front hydraulics and chain hooks. Side plates can be used for extra reinforcement for heavy-duty applications.
The compact construction and design of the linkage ensures that maximum ground clearance and steering angle are always maintained. Linkages can be set to a single-acting, double-acting and transport position with the multi-valve supplied as standard. The removable linkage arms have transport, fixed and oscillation settings. Your linkage pack also comes with a top link, balls and towing hook.
Full engine power is transferable with the standard Zuidberg 1000 rpm front PTO which utilises a multi-disc wet clutch system for smoother activation of equipment and a longer life span. The output shaft is non-rotating in unloaded condition. Each PTO is supplied with a protective cover for the PTO stump. We would always recommend the fitting of a full safety guard for the PTO shaft.
Increase your tractor’s versatility and value
For any owner or operator of an MF 7S or 8S tractor, which was not specified from new with the factory-fitted option of an integrated front linkage and PTO assembly, a Zuidberg front linkage and PTO will further extend your tractor’s capabilities and enhance its value. You’ll benefit from greatly increased flexibility enabling you to carry out more tasks, more quickly and by maximising the full potential of AGCO’s highly efficient, Stage 5 compliant, 6-cylinder, 6.6L and 7.4L power units.
