Massey Ferguson launches a new version of the Momentum folding planter at Expodireto Cotrijal 2023, held in Não-Me-Toque (RS), from March 6th to 10th. With 18, 20, 22 and 24 rows spacing 45 centimeters and 50 centimeters, the implement now covers a larger number of rural producers who seek efficiency, sustainability and profitability.
“We listened to our customer and brought options to support more segments and all sizes of producers, who need a smaller machine, but don’t give up high technology. Our goal is to offer producers in regions with more inclined and rugged areas, an intelligent, high-quality planting solution that delivers added value and with less impact on the environment”, highlights Alexandre Stucchi, Massey Ferguson sales director.
Launched in 2019, initially with a greater number of lines (24, 30 and 40), Momentum opened a new segment of easy-to-transport, high-performance implements that deliver extremely high results for the producer. The new versions offer the same quality of operation in the field, but with the addition of technologies and tools to further increase productivity in the field.
The new version of Momentum features a system of weight distribution across the chassis, so the producer adjusts and calibrates the machine, from inside the cabin, so that the central load is distributed equally across the chassis of the planter to the side ends, which results in in a better performance in hilly areas, providing homogeneous depth of seed deposition and improvement in planting quality. The technology is offered with customizable weight distribution levels, which can be defined by area.
In addition to the new look, Momentum Massey Ferguson presents a novelty in the fertilizer system, which now operates with vApply Granular, a Precision Planting® fertilizer control technology that manages the fertilizer in two sections, reducing it by up to 50% the waste of fertilizers.
Produced at the factory in Ibirubá (RS), the new version maintains the same already known transport versatility, the planter is 3.6 meters long, without the need to disassemble any component, and can pass through gates and bridges with ease and safety.
The opening and closing time is less than 1.5 minutes, providing agility in moving the machine or working in different areas of the property, resulting in increased planting time.
Available in the MF 8S.245 and MF 8S.265 models, with powers of 245hp and 265hp, respectively, the series features the new Dyna-7 automatic transmission, which provides easy and efficient operation with a total of 28 forward gears. and 28 aft in four groups and seven uninterrupted gears.
