Massey Ferguson to the South Pole - Again!

How about some current M-F news?

http://agri.eu/massey-ferguson-5610-polar-tractor-lands-in-antarctica-pictures--news6256.html 

 "The Massey Ferguson MF 5610 tractor set to spearhead an expedition to the South Pole has touched down in the Antarctic. The ambitious Antarctica2 mission to reach the Pole by tractor is scheduled to depart on its 5000 km journey across the ice this weekend (22/23 November) depending on weather conditions."

“We are really looking forward to the start of the mission and following the progress of the Antarctica2 expedition team as it makes its way to the Geographical South Pole. This 2014 trek aims to emulate the achievement of explorer Sir Edmund Hillary who led the first mechanised expedition to the South Pole in 1958 using a fleet of Ferguson TE20 tractors. “

RE:Massey Ferguson to the South Pole - Again!

During our recent Massey trip to Holland we enjoyed an afternoon with the Dutch M-F importer, they had a very impressive showroom and distribution centre to  serve all dealers with M-F products throughout Holland. What a diverse selection of products too, small to large HP agricultural tractors, forklift trucks, low HP compact tractors, lawn mowers, garden cultivators, generators, ATV's and much more, all very pleasing to see in these current times.

We were both surprised before we left to be presented with a copy of the official AGCO Massey Ferguson book on the South Pole Massey Ferguson trip.

Another nice piece of memorabilia for the shelf.

Malcolm.
