MASSEY FERGUSON WORLD RECORD
Antarctica2 tractor honoured

Massey Ferguson reports that the Antarctica2 expedition to the South Pole by MF 5610 tractor spearheaded by Manon Ossevoort has been officially recognised by Guinness World Records.

A certificate has been awarded to Lead Driver, Manon (aka 'Tractor Girl'), confirming Antarctica2 as the first expedition to the South Pole in a wheel tractor.  The certificate officially details that she "left Novo Runway in Antarctica on 22 November 2014 driving a Massey Ferguson 5610 farm tractor to complete a 4,638 km round trip to the South Pole that lasted 27 days, 19 hr 25 min."

We are thrilled that the amazing Antarctica2 adventure has been recognised as a world-first," says Campbell Scott, Massey Ferguson Director Marketing Services. "We are all so proud that our MF 5610 tractor was chosen to make the trip and that it excelled in every way to ensure that Manon and her team safely reached their destination. It was an awe-inspiring mission that is now firmly part of Massey Ferguson's story of achievement."

The expedition was a tough ride for the MF 5610 tractor and Antarctica2 team who faced bitter cold, high altitude, solid ice, snowdrifts and the most extreme, remote terrain. Their daily adventures and emotional arrival at the Pole were followed by millions worldwide on social and broadcast media.
