In the summer of 2003, the first MF equipped with a continuously variable transmission, the 7400 series, was introduced. The transmission was sourced from within the group from Fendt and was named Dyna-VT by MF. The rear structure also included other Fendt features, such as a separate hydraulic oil system independent from the transmission. The model range was divided into two: the three smallest models had a Perkins engine and a transmission corresponding to Fendt’s 700 series. The larger models had a SisuDiesel engine and a Fendt 800 series transmission equipped with two variable displacement pumps.

The software and control devices were MF’s own. Behind the steering wheel was a gear lever similar to that of the 6400 series, which, in addition to changing the driving direction, could increase or decrease speed or put the gear in neutral. Speed could also be adjusted with a joystick located on the armrest or by using the accelerator pedal as a speed pedal. There were two mechanical ranges in the transmission, with the slower one having a top speed of 28 km/h. The speed of 50 km/h was achieved at 1700 rpm.

Initially, the 7400 series had a high level of equipment. In the autumn of 2004, a cheaper version called DVX was also introduced, from which the front axle and cab suspension as well as the automatic air conditioning were omitted. What remained included, among other things, electrically controlled hydraulic valves. A new trip computer, Datatronic 3, equipped with a color display became available for the 2005 model year. At the same time, engines received even more additional power.
