MASSEY FERGUSON ARCHIVE Vol 14
Sweet Success

This exciting series of programmes digs deep into Massey Ferguson's amazing film archive, bringing to the screen rare and original films produced to promote their brand new ranges from over 70 years ago, right up to the present day. The series builds into a unique record of the impact made by MF and its predecessors the world over.
 
In this, the fourteenth volume, we explore the range of highly specialised machinery developed by Massey Ferguson to mechanise the sugar cane industry. Farmers learn how to get the most out of MF equipment in 'Cultivating for Mechanical Harvesting' which includes the articulated 1800 and a 1085 with 500 series styling.

The Model 20 Cane Planter is ably assisted by a 165 tractor, before the exotic MF 205 Cane Harvester completes the process. 'Training for the Men of the Land' demonstrates a unique international project and our final film takes us behind boardroom doors to discuss Massey Ferguson’s plans for the 70s, complete with previously unseen footage of prototype machines and testing.

Whatever your specific interest, you will be certain to find something fascinating in this unique series as we move from vintage machines, through the classic era and then to the sophisticated machines of today.
