MF Industrial MF750 2WD ext*, 1996 Technical Specifications

MF Industrial MF750 2WD ext* 1996 Technical Specifications

The MF Industrial MF750 2WD ext* provides users with an efficient and highly maneuverable workhorse. It features a powerful Perkins 1004.4-litre 4-cylinder engine, transmitting up to 31km/h, and is outfitted with a Gear pump with a flow rate of 130-litres per minute. The MF750 is equipped with cylinder slewing, SideShift positioning, and a Drive system consisting of 2WD, enabling it to complete tasks with precision and speed.

Advantages

Powerful 4-Cylinder Engine

The MF Industrial MF750 2WD ext* is equipped with a powerful Perkins 1004.4-litre 4-cylinder engine, providing users with 60 kilowatts of power at 2200 rpm. This allows the MF750 to get from one point to another quickly, with an impressive top speed of 31 km/h. The engine’s excellent power also enables the user to handle large loads without having to worry about running out of power.

This power advantage is highly valued in road construction, mining, or large industrial projects where transportation time is of critical importance. For example, in a project to widen a major highway, reducing the time for the transport of heavy equipment to the construction site is essential for keeping the duration of the project within reasonable limits. The MF750’s powerful engine can provide users with an important headstart on completing their projects on time.

Cylinder Slewing

The MF750 is also equipped with a cylinder slewing system, providing users with a high degree of precision and control. The cylinder slewing allows for accurate positioning when carrying out tasks such as excavating trenches and hole digs. With high levels of precision, users don’t need to worry about missing the mark or misdirecting the work.

This has advantages in applications such as the construction of gas pipelines, where accuracy is critical due to the nature of the project. Gas pipelines can be complex with varying degrees of tight curves, and missing the mark in terms of positioning could lead to errors which could be costly to rectify or cause safety concerns.

Gear Pump

The MF750 is outfitted with a Gear pump, with a flow rate of 130-litres per minute and relief valve pressure of 225 bars. This is important for tasks such as digging and backfilling soil, as well as tasks requiring high pressure such as breaking up densely packed material or hard rock. The relief valve pressure of 225 bars provides a safety measure to protect the machine from damage due to unexpected overloading.

The flow rate of 130-litres per minute is impressive for a machine of this size, and is useful for quickly completing large-scale tasks. For example, a large-scale landscaping project where there is a need to fill large areas with gravel or soil can benefit from the MF750’s Gear pump in terms of speed and efficiency.

Disadvantages

Turn Circle Radius

The MF750 has a turn circle radius without brakes of 8210mm, which can be limiting in some situations. This radius is greater than the smaller, more compact machines in the MF750’s class, and as such can be cumbersome in tight spaces.

This can be problematic in applications where maneuverability is of critical importance, such as in tree surgery and plumbing jobs where there are often multiple obstacles restricting access to the work site. The greater turn circle radius could also create the risk of inadvertently damaging obstacles or the work area due to difficulty in turning the MF750 in tight spaces.

SideShift

The MF750 is equipped with SideShift positioning, which is touted as a feature but can also be seen a limitation. This is because SideShift positioning requires more room than machines with center mounted positioning.

This can cause problems in confined spaces, where machines with CenterMount positioning may be able to fit through tight gateways or small openings. This limitation can hinder access in situations such as removing tree stumps from a small backyard or replacing a plumbing pipe above the ceiling of a basement.

Ride Control

Another drawback with the MF750 is that it is not equipped with Ride Control, a feature which reduces the jarring vibrations associated with riding a machine over rugged terrain. This can take a toll on the operator over longer period of time where the lack of Ride Control can create serious discomfort and fatigue.

This can be a problem in applications where long working hours on rough landscapes are necessary, such as clearing and excavating extensive areas in agricultural or forestry applications. Without Ride Control, operators could become exhausted and not be able to complete the project to the desired level of quality due to operating exhaustion.

Overall Assessment

The MF Industrial MF750 2WD ext* provides users with a powerful and efficient workhorse. It is packed with features such as a larger-than-average 4-cylinder engine, cylinder slewing, SideShift positioning, and a Gear pump with a high-flow rate.

However, it also has some drawbacks. Its large turn circle radius is limiting in tight areas, where machines with CenterMount positioning can maneuver better. Likewise, its lack of Ride Control can affect user performance in applications requiring long hours of labor in rugged terrains.

Overall, the MF750 is an impressive workhorse and is suitable for the majority of tasks requiring an efficient, powerful machine.
