LDI-Chanute Hosts Event Featuring the 2021 Tractor of the Year - KS and IA Ag Equipment Dealer

^{Tuesday, July 26, 2022}Earlier this week, the LDI-Chanute location hosted a Hay & Parts Expo featuring the 2021 Tractor of the Year, the Massey Ferguson 8S.225, a Massey Ferguson BR1480V Silage Baler, and several educational demonstrations from AGCO product specialists.

The LDI-Chanute team has several new faces this year, and visitors had the chance to meet the team and get to know their local AGCO equipment dealer.

“Events like this are so important as they provide an opportunity for us to introduce new innovative equipment solutions to our farmers, and for us to listen to hear what challenges they are facing and identify how we can help,” said LDI-Chantue Store Manager, Miranda Weber.

Solutions like the Massey Ferguson BR1480V Silage Baler. The baler is a unique fit for the Chanute area as it can help maximize the value of forage crops in challenging weather conditions and result in a higher quality forage for livestock producers. The BR1480V Silage Baler may be of particular value to producers this year as growers try to find alternative markets for drought-stressed crops that may not reach optimum growth for harvest. Corn for example, may not reach full capacity due to drought but could be harvested early for a more valuable silage crop.

The MF 8S Series tractor is another innovative solution designed with the needs of farmers first, including a need for convenience, comfort, affordability, outstanding reliability, controls that are simple to use and pleasant to operate, efficiency in delivering the most power to the ground, complete connectivity, and the capacity to handle the most demanding implements.

The MF 8S Series Protect-U cab design is the quietest cab on the market, with a noise level of only 68db. The cab sits back 9 inches from the hood, helping to minimize noise and vibration, providing unparalleled visibility, and helping to keep the cab and engine naturally cooler. The Dyna-VT stepless transmission offers total operator comfort and helps optimize fuel efficiency at all times.

The MF 8S tractor was only available to LDI-Chanute for a few days, but if you are interested in learning more, please contact us for more information.
