Introduced at the end of 1979, the 2000 series was a completely new tractor. Among the new features were a 16+12 gearbox equipped with a directional reverser, a 14-inch ceramic clutch, draft sensing on the lift arms, and a powerful hydraulic system. The cab of the 2000 series was high-quality, and mechanical air conditioning was standard equipment except for the 2620 model. Cold starting was based on ether injection. The front axle differential lock was a tooth lock, engaged hydraulically at the same time as the rear axle lock. As usual, the front axle was sourced from Landini. Despite four-wheel drive, the turning radius was large.

At the end of 1982, small changes were made to the appearance. The updated model can be recognized by an even stripe along the side of the hood instead of the raised MF logo. The interior color changed from red-black to brown. At the same time, the power of the 2620 and 2680 models was increased, and a trailer brake valve was added to the equipment. Gearbox ratios were altered, and the quick-shift was moved to a separate button on the dashboard. At the top of the lineup came the 147-horsepower 2720, whose innovation was electronic draft sensing.
