HIGHLIGHTS
- There was a total of 64 Super MTA high crop tractors built
- It is believed that less than 20 of those came with a diesel engine as did this tractor
- One of the rarest and most sought after tractors ever produced

The operator pulled a long lever on the left side to bring the TA unit operation. The TA provided a second set of five speeds, The TA reduced speed while increasing the torque. This could be done with the Tractor in Motion, making the MTA the first tractor to have the ability to shift on the move without the use of the clutch.
