M-Series Notes:

Suffix "1” models are the second generation "Wide” Cab tractors. Cab is 5.7 inches wider than first models.
Suffix "2” models are factory equipped with 540 / 1000 RPM PTO kits. M95S and M105S:
The "S” represents the model/tractor class in general is no specific meaning, however it can be applied to "Swing Shift” as the base transmission on all "S” models.
M50-Series 1983 - 1984 Cab was orange in color, air conditioning was optional.

Here are a few common tractor acronyms off the top of my head. Please add more.


BB- Box Blade
BH- Back Hoe or Bush Hog
3PH or 3pt- Three Point Hitch
PTO- Power Take Off
PHD- Post Hole Digger
FEL- Front End Loader
MMM- Mid Mount Mower
ROPS- Roll Over Protective Structure
HST- HydroStatic Transmission
CUT- Compact Utility Tractor
SCUT- Sub Compact Utility Tractor
TLB- Tractor/Loader/Backhoe
SS- Skid Steer
QA- Quick Attach
TnT or T&T- Top and Tilt
SCV- Secondary Control Valve
ULSD- Ultra Low Sulfur Diesel

Just to be a pedantic pain in the a*** (a PITA), I'll point out that most of these are abbreviations not acronyms. An acronym is a single word made from the letters of a longer title. Such as LASER, RADAR, AIDS, or UNESCO.

I'm often amused by local action groups or Government departments that think up a catchy acronym first, then torturously arrange the words to fit it. Conservation groups are chronic offenders. e.g. the biodiversity catchcry HIPPO for 'habitat destruction, invasive species, pollution, human overpopulation, and over-harvesting. (I kid you not). But then again, my own invention BADASS (the BAD Acronym Society) also fits that bill perfectly.

Pedants of the world unite!!

Being a foundation member of the society, I admit guilt and will proceed to flagellate myself severely.

Let us not forget the military HOTAS, an abbreviation for Hands On Throttle-And-Stick.
I keep trying to bend some tractor words to come up with a similar acronym.

Is there going to be a test??
