Massey Ferguson MF 5600/Farming Simulator 17

The Massey Ferguson MF 5600 is a Tractor available in Farming Simulator 17. It is a mid-small tractor capable of operating light equipment. When money is available, the MF 5600 can be upgraded to a much stronger tractor that can comfortably handle most light equipment, and becomes both stronger and cheaper than other tractors of similar power.

Advantages

• Good Engine Upgrade: The MF 5600 can be upgraded with an engine that increases its power substantially with only a small increase in maintenance costs, making it a very economic choice for the early game. This engine upgrade also comes with bonus fuel tank size.

Disadvantages

• Somewhat Underpowered: In its default setup, the MF 5600 will struggle when pulling loaded tippers of any size. An engine upgrade will make it much more capable.
• Light: The MF 5600 is somewhat light for a front-loading tractor of its size. When using a bucket or other lifting implement, it has a tendency to tip over. Drive carefully with such implements.
• No Wide Tires: The MF 5600 cannot be fitted with wider tires for extra stability.
• No Color Customization: The MF 5600 cannot be repainted in any way.
