From the beginning of 2013, Massey Ferguson will now be fitting the Cesar DATATAG security system as standard on all tractor models from the MF 5400 series and above. The Cesar plant and vehicle registration scheme is now standard on all tractors built in the Beauvais factory, including all models in the MF 5400, MF 5600, MF 6400, MF 7600 and MF 8600 ranges.
This fitting of the Cesar DATATAG system is a major benefit to customers, with most insurers providing a discount on the insurance premium with the Cesar DATATAG fitted.
MF is also now offering the option of AgCommand – a GPS- and telemetry-based tracking and monitoring system. This helps protect against theft by automatically sending alerts to owners when a vehicle leaves or enters certain areas, as well as providing a comprehensive fleet management system. The AgCommand system can be accessed in mobile format on the brand new iPad app, making good use of modern technology to make both security and management easier
Cesar-equipped vehicles are said to be four times less likely to be stolen and six times more likely to be recovered if taken. Highly visible, tamper-evident triangular identification plates contain transponders to warn away thieves. Other tiny transponders are also hidden around the machine, which can be located and read by special scanners.
Chandlers Used-Massey-Tractors.com offer a Cesar DATATAG retrofitting service, to provide the same benefits on your existing used Massey Ferguson tractor, or on a used Massey tractor that you purchase from Chandlers.
Hundreds of Datadots, with another unique number, are permanently concealed within the vehicle. These are virtually impossible to find and remove. Lastly, a forensic Datatag ‘DNA solution’, which is invisible to the naked eye, is applied to various parts of the machine and dripped into nooks and crannies.
