A foot pedal controls speed and forward or reverse direction with toe or heel pressure, leaving the operator’s hands free for steering. Also, cruise control, which is activated by a conveniently located hand lever, makes it easy to maintain a constant forward speed during open field work. The M-F 1020 Hydro is equipped with a Category I three-point hitch that has adjustable right-hand lift links and top lift links. For a 21 horsepower tractor, the 1,543- pound lift capacity of the three point hitch is exceptional. This tractor is also equipped with rear and mid-mount PTO. The rear PTO may be operated as a “live” PTO, with the implement brought up to operating speed before starting tractor movement. Conversely, the tractor may be brought to a complete stop without interrupting PTO power. The forward facing mid-PTO is engaged or disengaged by the We speak your language. s ** At Farm Credit, we don’t think a lender can really understand what’s behind your requests by staying behind a desk.

M-F 1035 and M-F 1045 The 30 horsepower M-F 1035 and 35 horsepower M-F 1045 (which has 30 horsepower at the PTO) are workhorse compacts for iobs that require bigger power and bigger implements. The M-F 1035 transmission has 12 forward speeds and four reverse; the M-F 1045 offers nine forward and three reverse. Speed ranges are from 0.4 to 12.4 mph for the M-F 1035, and 0.7 to 11.0 mph for the M-F 1045. A synchromesh transmission for both models permits smooth on the-move shifting within each of three forward gear ranges, and one reverse range. The operator may even shift from forward to reverse without bringing the tractor to a stop a real time saver for shuttle loader operations. Power take-off capability for operating implements is important in a wide range of uses, and the M- F 1035 and M-F 1045 offer a “live” PTO to operate implements at any tractor speed, or to continue operating the implement when the tractor’s forward motion is stopped. Category I three-point hitch lift capacity is 1,716 pounds for the M- F 1035, and 1,727 pounds for the M- F 1045. Dependability and long service life are major design criteria for the M-F 1000 Series tractors. Their three-cylinder engines run smooth to reduce vibration and produce higher torque at lower engine speeds to increase service life. Pressure lubrication keeps all working components well oiled; clean air flow to the engine is maintained by an efficient air filtering system; a thermostat controlled liquid cooling system maintains uniform operating temperatures. All add to long trouble-free engine life. ATTENTION FARMERS... (cXfcft ESTIMATES ON RODENT CONTROL i\ *] J V RODENTS carry diseases which can endanger the health of your poultry flocks.
