The state-of-the-art MAGNA Styling has sophisticated elements that include an aerodynamic single-piece bonnet with a one-touch front opening system. The spacious platform, stylish looks, modern steering wheel and adjustable seat mark the gold standard of operating comfort. An industry first, the MF8055 comes with powerful projector headlamps along with Tri-LED for better visibility and more brightness at night, the company said.

According to TAFE, best suited for heavy-duty operations like sugarcane haulage, construction material and other heavy tonnage loads, the MAGNATRAK series is well-compatible with a wide variety of agricultural applications like reversible mouldboard plough (RMB), rotavator, post-hole digger, threshers and newer applications like the balers well.

MAGNATRAK’s higher ground clearance helps in easy navigation of the tractor, even while crossing bunds and uneven roads. Its longer wheelbase ensures stability and prevents front lifting while pulling heavy loads. The high PTO placement offers superior performance with a wide variety of PTO operated implements. Maxx Oil Immersed Brakes (OIB) and safety guards for radiator and silencer further make the MAGNATRAK an extremely safe and dependable tractor, the company said.

  1. I’m glad to know special goods and heavy haulage necessitate a powerful engine, and regardless of the distance, a sturdy chassis and a long-lasting transmission are required. Heavy haulage transportation needs more security since they carry heavy loads. I’m happy that there is a service here in Queensland for heavy loads like arm equipment.
