About Cabling Installation & Maintenance

Our mission: Bringing practical business and technical intelligence to today's structured cabling professionals

For more than 30 years, Cabling Installation & Maintenance has provided useful, practical information to professionals responsible for the specification, design, installation and management of structured cabling systems serving enterprise, data center and other environments. These professionals are challenged to stay informed of constantly evolving standards, system-design and installation approaches, product and system capabilities, technologies, as well as applications that rely on high-performance structured cabling systems. Our editors synthesize these complex issues into multiple information products. This portfolio of information products provides concrete detail that improves the efficiency of day-to-day operations, and equips cabling professionals with the perspective that enables strategic planning for networks’ optimum long-term performance.

Throughout our annual magazine, weekly email newsletters and 24/7/365 website, Cabling Installation & Maintenance digs into the essential topics our audience focuses on.

  • Design, Installation and Testing: We explain the bottom-up design of cabling systems, from case histories of actual projects to solutions for specific problems or aspects of the design process. We also look at specific installations using a case-history approach to highlight challenging problems, solutions and unique features. Additionally, we examine evolving test-and-measurement technologies and techniques designed to address the standards-governed and practical-use performance requirements of cabling systems.
  • Technology: We evaluate product innovations and technology trends as they impact a particular product class through interviews with manufacturers, installers and users, as well as contributed articles from subject-matter experts.
  • Data Center: Cabling Installation & Maintenance takes an in-depth look at design and installation workmanship issues as well as the unique technology being deployed specifically for data centers.
  • Physical Security: Focusing on the areas in which security and IT—and the infrastructure for both—interlock and overlap, we pay specific attention to Internet Protocol’s influence over the development of security applications.
  • Standards: Tracking the activities of North American and international standards-making organizations, we provide updates on specifications that are in-progress, looking forward to how they will affect cabling-system design and installation. We also produce articles explaining the practical aspects of designing and installing cabling systems in accordance with the specifications of established standards.

Massey Ferguson® Launches the MF 3 Series Specialty Tractor, a High-Value-Per-Dollar Tractor Solution for Vineyards and Orchards

The Massey Ferguson 3 Series Specialty tractor provides power and comfort with a smaller carbon footprint.

AGCO Corporation (NYSE: AGCO), a global leader in the design, manufacture and distribution of agricultural machinery and precision ag technology, introduced today the Massey Ferguson® 3 Series Specialty tractor to the North American market. Designed to meet the unique challenges of vineyards and orchards, the MF 3 Series brings straightforward dependability to a new market with seven models ranging from 75-115 HP. The newly designed series provides a compact yet powerful solution for challenging applications with a focus on efficiency, comfort and a reduced carbon footprint. The MF 3 Series tractor line will launch at World Ag Expo, February 13-15, 2024, in Tulare, California.

“The farmer is at the heart of every Massey Ferguson design, and we are excited to share this brand-new offering with vineyard and orchard operations here in California, as well as across North America,” said Kevin Lewallen, tactical marketing manager for Massey Ferguson North America. “We understand the importance of productivity and economy in these applications, and we’re proud to offer one of the most powerful, versatile and comfortable machines on the market.”

The MF 3 Series offering includes 75, 95 and 115 HP cab models of the Specialty (SP) version for vineyard and orchard applications; 75, 95 and 105 HP models in the narrow and low-profile Ground Effect (GE) version for tunnel and fruit orchard settings; and a single 95 HP model of the Vineyard (VI) version, the narrowest model that is ideal for traditional vineyards.

Top-notch vineyard tractor

With the Vineyard version, operators experience industry-leading comfort for long hours behind the wheel with a cab a little more than 3 feet wide, built to maneuver through tight vineyard rows. Innovative design allows for high power and torque at low engine RPM for maximum efficiency and reduced noise levels.

Farmers can choose between several proven transmission options to customize the MF 3VI.95 and others in the series to fit their unique needs in terms of ease of use, fuel economy and much more.

A compact front end and Massey Ferguson’s innovative low-profile automatic transmission fluid (ATF) components provide best-in-class visibility, while a Cat.4-compliant roof pairs with high-tech, ergonomic features inside the cab for optimum productivity and comfort.

Innovative specialty tractor option

The slightly wider Specialty version offers a straightforward, dependable tractor for operations looking for the best return on investment. The 75 HP models feature a 3.4-liter, 4-cylinder engine, while the 3.6-liter is used with higher horsepower.

Exceptional operator comfort and convenience come in the form of a 4-foot-wide cab that strikes an excellent balance to fit the very specific dimensional demands of the market. Farmers can get more done between refueling with the 3SP model’s 26-gallon fuel tank and ample power for the task at hand.

Low-profile ground effect

The Ground Effect version includes all open-station platform models in the MF 3 Series. This model offers a combination of narrow and low-profile dimensions that are ideal for the requirements of older wine-grape and raisin vineyards. The MF 3GE models provide optimum efficiency with less noise and less fuel consumption.

As with other models in the 3 Series, the MF 3GE allows farmers to mix and match horsepower and specifications for an ideal equipment solution that provides the power, versatility and comfort they need without paying for unnecessary features. This powerful, fuel-efficient lineup offers long-term dependability, ease of use and a low cost of ownership.

“The Massey Ferguson brand is recognized around the world as a premier manufacturer of durable, user-friendly agricultural equipment,” said Lewallen. “We’re proud to bring our Farmer-First approach to a new market in North America. All models of the MF 3 Series offer power, maneuverability and reliability with a fast ROI and a smaller carbon footprint.”
