4-WHEEL DRIVE TRACTOR

MF Industrial, Inc., recently introduced the latest 4-wheel drive version of its MF 40E Tractor and Tractor Loader. It offers a full 50 deg steer angle, a 10% improvement in turning radius over 2-wheel drive machines. The steer cylinder and hydraulic hoses are positioned behind the heavy duty drive/steer axle for protection from damage. The MF 40# system is activated by an electronic solenoid switch "on-the-go", so there is no engagement downtime. The MF 40E also features a 4.3 inch increase in the wheel base which enhances stability for mowing, scraping, and loading as well as providing exceptional roadability.
