released at the
end of 2015,
following significant developments
and an investment of £250 million,
to position the new range into the
mainstream agricultural market.
Key to its strengths is its versatility;

powerful and high-tech tractor
manufactured to date, fulfilling the

K-Monitor that manages all
functionality intuitively, including
headland management, ISO-BUS
implement control, GPS-controlled
auto-guidance and a camera
function.
Inside the cab, the M7001 is
equally as impressive, with a clear
ergonomic layout and high
operator comfort ensuring
maximum productivity. Available
with a choice of cab suspension –
mechanical or air operated - the

work demands.
The spacious cabin fitted on the

also available to all new buyers of
M Series tractors, providing its
customers with an essential fiveyear after sales service package.
