Massey Ferguson 7S MARK 2 wins Tractor of the Year 2027 (MidPower)
The new Massey Ferguson 7S MARK 2 has not even reached its first customers, but it has already won a major award. On 10 November 2026, the MF 7S.245 MARK 2 was named Tractor of the Year 2027 in the MidPower category at EIMA International in Bologna. An international jury of 26 agricultural journalists from 25 European countries assessed 23 tractors from 18 brands this year.
What is Tractor of the Year?
Tractor of the Year (TotY) was established in 1998 and is one of the best-known international awards in agricultural mechanisation. The ceremony alternates each year between Agritechnica in Hanover and EIMA in Bologna. Before voting, the jury members spend months taking a close look at the candidates, through technical presentations, meetings with the manufacturers and field trials. They assess the tractors on performance, innovation, efficiency, safety and sustainability.
The award has six categories: HighPower (over 300 hp), MidPower (150 to 280 hp), Utility, Specialized, Sustainable and TotYBot for autonomous machines. The MF 7S MARK 2 competed in the MidPower class.
Why the jury chose the MF 7S.245 MARK 2
In the MidPower class, for tractors from 150 to 280 hp, the jury chose the Massey Ferguson for its complete package: an efficient driveline, versatility for a wide range of work, and plenty of comfort and ease of use for the operator.
Here is some of what the winning flagship model offers:
- Engine: the new AGCO Power CORE 75, a 7.5-litre six-cylinder with a rated output of 245 hp, a maximum output of 256 hp and 1,184 Nm of torque.
- Transmission: the Dyna-VT continuously variable transmission as standard, with ParkLock and a top speed of up to 57 km/h (depending on legislation).
- Hydraulics and linkage: load-sensing up to 190 l/min and a rear lift capacity of 9,600 kg.
- Cab: the four-post cab from the MF 8S Xtra and 9S, with 3.4 m³ of interior space and a 15 cm gap between engine and cab to keep out heat, noise and vibration.
- Technology: the 12-inch Datatronic 6 touchscreen and, as the first Massey Ferguson, PTx FarmENGAGE fitted at the factory.
Six models, one platform
The award went to the flagship MF 7S.245, but the MF 7S MARK 2 is a series of six models: the 7S.170, 7S.185, 7S.200, 7S.215, 7S.230 and 7S.245, from 170 to 245 hp. They share the same 7.5-litre engine, the same Dyna-VT transmission and the same spacious cab. You can also choose between the Efficient and Exclusive specifications.
Good to know: the MARK 2 does not replace the familiar MF 7S. It sits alongside it, between the MF 7S and the heavier MF 8S Xtra. Curious about all the new features and how it differs from the MF 7S? You will find everything on our MF 7S MARK 2 page.
Full production and the first deliveries are expected in spring 2027. Prices have not yet been announced.
