Historical heritage and TAFE partnership in India
The Massey Ferguson brand has been an integral pillar of Indian agricultural mechanization since TAFE established manufacturing in Chennai in 1960.
Harry Ferguson's legendary three-point hitch with mechanical draft sensing revolutionized agricultural tillage globally and remains the benchmark hydraulic system for Indian soil conditions.
- Six decades of heritage: Manufactured by TAFE under long-term global industrial partnership with AGCO Corporation.
- Simpson diesel engines: Powered by durable, fuel-efficient multi-cylinder Simpson engines delivering high torque backup.
- Ferguson hydraulic system: Sensitive top-link draft sensing automatically adjusts implement depth to maintain constant engine load.
