The control arm also includes an advanced ISOBUS-based Control Centre Display, which now includes video capability, as well as integrated control of any ISOBUS-compliant equipment.

Switches for occasionally used controls, such as the differential lock, power front axle and cab suspension are located on the right side panel. The MF control arm has 17 functions, including hand throttle, transmission lever, four-function joystick, third and fourth spool valves with an option for a fifth, engine, transmission and hydraulics, control centre display navigation, rear PTO auto, rear PTO, front PTO, dtm transmission mode switch, sv1/sv2 speed setting dial, pedal/lever mode, linkage lift/lower, rear linkage height adjustment and control centre display.
