Massey Ferguson Launches MF 500R Series Sprayer

Aug 30, 2023

The Massey Ferguson ^®500R Series Sprayer rounds out Massey Ferguson’s North American product line, providing solutions to serve farmers through every step of the growing cycle.
The customizable sprayer is available in two models: the 740-gallon, 212 HP MF 525R and the 860-gallon, 235 HP MF 530R. A flexible, modified carbon steel chassis provides agility and traction in even the most difficult field conditions.
The standard LiquidLogic ^®system can prime in 50 seconds to reduce wasted chemicals and output costs and improve sustainability. Thirty-six controllable boom sections — six times more than other sprayers — improve precision capabilities and reduce waste for greater ROI.
The MF 500R Series Sprayer employs the roomy cab design of Massey Ferguson’s award-winning S Series tractor for reduced noise and vibration, ergonomic comfort, and nearly 360-degree visibility.
Smart all-wheel drive (AWD) provides more power-to-ground transfer and maintains pump pressure at lower rpms for greater fuel efficiency and more consistent coverage.

AGCO Corporation (NYSE: AGCO), a global leader in the design, manufacture and distribution of agricultural machinery and precision ag technology, introduced the new Massey Ferguson® 500R Series Sprayer, a reliable, user-friendly solution for effective applications and increased independence. Building on more than 60 years of experience from across the AGCO family, the 740-gallon, 212 HP MF 525R and 860-gallon, 235 HP MF 530R Series sprayers come standard with an advanced chemical distribution system, flexible chassis, maintenance-friendly design elements and more to deliver a cost-effective spraying solution. Massey Ferguson will display the MF 500R Series Sprayer during the 2023 Farm Progress Show and is currently accepting orders for 2024 through select dealers.

“Massey Ferguson keeps the farmer at the heart of everything we do,” said Darren Parker, vice president, Massey Ferguson North America. “Farmers need a robust, entry-level spraying solution that provides fast ROI and a low total cost of ownership. The MF 500R Series Sprayer gives producers the flexibility to apply product at the peak window for their particular crop, maximizing yields and positively impacting their bottom line.”

Spray With Confidence

The Massey Ferguson 500R Series Sprayer is user-friendly and easy to operate. It provides the perfect balance of technology with an intuitive tractor-cab layout, allowing independent farmers to take control of their spraying applications with confidence.

A standard LiquidLogic ^®system puts the MF 500R Series Sprayer ahead of the competition in terms of efficiency and accuracy. The system offers 50-second priming with no wasted chemicals, reducing input costs and allowing for better stewardship of the land. An advanced recirculation system moves product through the tank and every inch of the boom for a constant rate and uniform mixture from start to finish. Control over 36 individual boom sections, six times more than other sprayers on the market, provides maximum precision with minimal waste for better ROI. Additionally, the LiquidLogic system cleans 75% faster and includes boom recovery and boom cleanout (BCO) to take advantage of every minute in the field.

The MF 500R Series Sprayer also features a tractor-style cab, which makes it easy for independent farmers to jump behind the wheel and get the job done. The roomy, ergonomic cab layout carries over from Massey Ferguson’s award-winning S Series tractor lineup for maximum comfort with reduced noise and vibration. Nearly 360-degree visibility makes it easy for operators to keep a close eye on the tires and booms.

The MF 500R Series Sprayer delivers on the company’s promise of straightforward, dependable equipment with a user-friendly reload station, easy access to service points and minimal daily maintenance for more uptime and easier service.

Video: Why Invest in Canada’s Seed Future? | On The Brink: Episode 3

Darcy Unger just invested millions to build a brand-new seed plant on his farm in Stonewall, Manitoba so when it’s time for his sons to take over, they have the tools they need to succeed.

Right now, 95% of the genetics they’ll be growing come from Canadian plant breeders.

That number matters.

When fusarium hit Western Canada in the late 90s, it was Canadian breeders who responded, because they understood Canadian conditions. That ability to react quickly to what’s happening on Canadian farms is exactly what’s at risk when breeding programs lose funding.

For farmers like Darcy, who have made generational investments based on the assumption that better genetics will keep coming, the stakes are direct and personal.

We’re on the brink of decisions that will shape our agricultural future for not only our generation, but also the ones to come.

What direction will we choose?

On The Brink is a year-long video series traveling across Canada to meet the researchers, breeders, farmers, seed companies, and policymakers shaping the future of Canadian plant breeding. Each week, a new story. Each story, a piece of the bigger picture.

Episode 3 is above. Follow Seed World Canada to catch every episode, and tell us: Do you think the next generation will have the tools they need to success when they takeover? How is the future going to look?
