Info
The first articulated MF tractors after World War II were the 1500 and 1800, which went on sale in 1971. These U.S.-built tractors were quite popular in Europe as well. They were powered by a Caterpillar V8. The 1500 had a displacement of 9.4 liters, and the 1800 had 10.4 liters. The smaller engine’s rated speed was a record 3,000 rpm for a tractor. The transmission was a mechanical 12+4, and the clutch was a 14-inch unit with ceramic facings.
With a steering angle of 42 degrees, the turning-circle diameter was about 10.5 meters. When carrying an implement, the weight distribution was roughly 50:50. The lift cylinders were mounted externally.

The data has been collected primarily from brochures. In some cases, sources contain conflicting information. In such cases, we have attempted to select the most reliable information.
There is particularly significant variation in speed data, which varies depending on factors such as tire size. For tires, only the size most commonly used in Finland is listed.
Other changes during the model history have been addressed in the text section. For the front axle lock, the Finnish term "hammaslukko" (gear lock) is used for all 100% locks.
