Massey Ferguson 5700: series versions, power and what to look for when buying
Massey Ferguson 5700 — a mid-range tractor series produced since 2011. We look at the main versions, transmissions and what to check when buying a used tractor.
5700 in brief
Massey Ferguson 5700 — versatile tractors designed for work with cultivators, seeders, presses, front loaders and trailers. The series includes models with approximately 90–130 HP, making it popular in medium-sized farms and livestock farming.
The last digits in the model name indicate the power class: for example, the 5710 is more powerful than the 5709, and the 5713 is one of the most powerful in the series. Always check the exact power rating on the tractor's plate or documents.
Which version to choose
The first 5700 series tractors were more basic, while later versions introduced S and SL variants with a more modern cab, better hydraulics and more transmission options. S versions are often offered with Essential, Efficient and Exclusive trim levels.
For straightforward tasks, the base version with a manual transmission will suffice. Those working with loaders and doing a lot of road travel will find the Dyna transmission more suitable, as it reduces the number of shifts.
Engines and transmissions
The tractors are powered by AGCO Power four-cylinder diesel engines, with newer versions featuring SCR technology and AdBlue. The power class is determined by the model name.
Transmissions: manual with reverse (Speedshift), semi-automatic Dyna-4 and Dyna-6 in newer versions. Dyna transmissions allow gear changes without using the clutch pedal, making them convenient for working with a loader.
What to check when buying a used 5700
Check the transmission and clutch: movement should be smooth, without juddering. In Dyna transmissions, listen for any unusual noises when changing gears.
Inspect the hydraulics, lift mechanism, and power take-off shaft. If the tractor has worked with a front loader, pay attention to the condition of the front axle and lift cylinders.
In newer versions, check the SCR system and AdBlue pump. Review the service history and ensure that the oil has been changed on time.
