And I am exited for the new series to replace our 7000 series tractors. However, with the 8S name, and now a 5S that replaces the 5700 series, I fear for the future of the 8700 series. It seems like Agco in all their wisdom is going to try to make the biggest tractors switch to Fendt. Ask anyone on here how well it goes when someone in another country tells them - the brand you have always used and like - it isnt actually the one you need. Here buy something with a different name and a different color instead.
yeah right...
I believe we will be seeing a 9S in the future.
The 8S is the Large Frame 7700S (7720-7722-7724-7726)
The 5S is the 5700S/SL replacement.
So, we should see a 7S which will replace the small frame 7700S (7715-7716-7718-7719), and a 6S to replace the 6700S Series...which cab they have is up in the air, I don't see them having the same cab as the 8S.
I believe the 9S will be the last thing for the changeover, because what is know as the LRT tractor internally at AGCO, the MF8600/8700/8700S tractors was the last major redesign to be done. The 6700/7700 range was just the old 6400/7400 with new styling and some upgrades. The 8600's were a DRASTIC change from the old 8400 range.
Massey wants to make a big change in their products. Spring 2018 we had some very high level folks from the factory and marketing team in Beauvais, France at our dealership for a day. They asked some good questions, and gave us a lot of things to think about, as well as some things we were not aware of. Obviously, out of respect for them, I will not be repeating what was said, but I believe we have just started a neat chapter in AGCO and MF's book.
