New Massey Ferguson® MF 4300 Series Orchard Cab tractors fea ture a state-of-the-art cab that meets or exceeds the require ments of ASAE Standard 5525 for enclosed cabs for pesticide application incorporating respi ratory protection; provides max imum operator comfort, convenience and visibility; and minimizes damage to crops and tree limbs. “Designing and building the cab based on extended testing and input from orchard opera tors has also resulted in a unique tapered design, the lowest roof height in the industry, and a redesigned cab interior for greater operator comfort and convenience,” said James Hill, Massey Ferguson sales engineer. “We spent two years design ing and testing the 4300 Series Orchard Cab tractors, and during this time we had over 120 orchard operators use the trac tor and provide feedback,” said Tim Wagner, Massey Ferguson general marketing manager. “The information we received was invaluable in achieving the final cab and tractor design. “The cab is designed and built by Massey Ferguson specifically for orchard applications we wanted to improve on the after market cabs used by other trac tor manufacturers,” added Wagner. “This gives us the ad vantage of being able to fit the cab precisely to the chassis for maximum sealing and provide the best possible protection to the operator.” The 730 requires a tractor of only 30 PTO hp and one double acting remote valve to produce bales of up to 500 pounds (250 kilograms). The 740 gets by with only 45 PTO hp to roll bales of up to 1,000 pounds (500 kilo Glencoe Introduces New High-Capacity Tillage Tools New heavy-duty-Glencoe® Secondary Tillage tools can handle heavy residue while preparing great seedbeds, all in one pass.

And with only five drive chains and one drive belt, efficiency and reliability are ex ceptional. The tapered cab design is re duced in width at the top to 35.8 inches, and the height of the steel roof is only 90.5 inches (with 18.4-26 rear tires) to reduce damage to crops and Buck Rejoins Blue Seal Bainbridge Dairy Sales LONDONDERRY, N.H.
