I just bought a 2850E, there honestly wasn't a John Deere at any dealer in the south east, and Kuboto had a couple of mangy dogs on the lot...

I agree there use to be Massey Ferguson dealer here in my area the last one closed up because Agco wanted them to upgrade their shop and they wanted $10,000. a year from ther dealer to sale the Massey Ferguson tractors. So Massey Ferguson had faded out from around here, until a Cat rental business started to sale Massey Ferguson tractors and equipment a few years ago. Now they are opening at a better location a Frent and Massey Ferguson dealership. Last year locally there were 13 John Deere customers that bought Massey Ferguson tractors. Up date 10/18/21 Agco selling Massey Ferguson tractors has opened up 3 new stores that I know of in my area . One is only 5 miles away . The other two are 30 miles away in opposite directions one west and one south east of my location. Not sure if they open any stores up north of me.

It had a water leak under the hood the three-point didn't want to cooperate and the transmission wouldn't control very well in pedal mode. Then we're good negotiating points for me and when I got home I did a pedal calibration which took all of seven seconds that has worked beautiful oh, did a three point calibration that took 5 minutes and that now works great and the leak under the hood is where the radiator hose goes into the thermostat housing I suppose the inside of the house is getting a little crusty or the thermostat housing the paint itself is getting a little weird so I just kind of cleaned it a little bit and Peyton the hose clamp and hopefully it will seal. This spring before planting I will do transmission and hydraulic oil front and rear axles. I did engine oil fuel filters and air filter this weekend that is a pretty nice tractor for service Weis very easy.

My dad had serval tractor brands back in the 1950s Allis Chambers and Ford and Farmall. Then in the 1960's he switched to Massey Ferguson's and stayed with Massey's until 2006 when he retired. Till this day Massey is my favorite I have a 1990 3070 Massey Ferguson 92hp cab loader 2wd. And a IMT 539 which is identical to the 35 Massey Ferguson. I like many of the other brands I also own a 5320 John Deere cab loader. I love seeing the older classic tractors working no matter the brand. Today Massey has some of the best looking tractors on the market. I test drove a new 4710 handle like a dream with plenty of power. May consider getting one some day. Massey has always been a leader when it came to fuel efficiency even with the Perkins Diesel engine. I am amazed what fuel efficient my Massey's 4 cly Perkins 4.236ci 3.9L turbo gets the same fuel efficiency as my John Deere's 3 cly turbo and my Massey is a much bigger and heavier tractor. Enjoyed your video with all the technology that your Massey has you got a beautiful tractor.

We can all be honest and say that we love the reliability of Japanese products. Honda is a prime example. Rock Solid and dependable with great service all around the country. Iseki is a Japanese company that has been around for a long long time. Massey engines and drivetrain transmission all manufactured by Iseki. Complete tractor actually I believe. Except for the tires. The attention to detail and the Innovations over the last 10 years have been A Step Above John Deere and other manufacturers in my opinion. The reliability is there and you can get parts all around the country. And nowadays it's very easily to get most things shipped directly to you if you can't go and pick it up yourself. I will be sticking with Massey. Great video and amazing capabilities on that tractor.

@mikewarren9850

Жыл бұрын

It is true that Agco farmed out the manufacture of some small 3 and 4 cylinder tractors to Iseki, the larger tractors are built in France using engines built in Finland. The Finland engine plant was the Valmet plant, then was acquired by Sisu engines which was then acquired by Agco who has invested in newer technologies and quality, and grown the manufacturing capability. The CVT transmission was actually designed by Fendt of Germany, which was acquired by Agco. These transmissions and engines are by far more advanced, more fuel efficient and built to a higher quality then most of what Deere is building now. In the USA now, you will notice some slow spreading growth of Agco Massey Ferguson dealers, mainly because many farmers are realizing what these machines will do in the fields , realizing the increase of efficiencies, and at the same time receive better service, and competitive pricing on parts and equipment.

I’m not in love with green, but they are the only dealers around me.

@@jonstevensmaplegrovefarms3754 yes I have heard that same thing about the Sisu engine it's a Finnish word so it must be good lol that is my Finlander opinion. Alot of logging machines use the Sisu engine and they seem to hold up well. I know that they are way easier on fuel then the John Deere diesel engine in the 30 and 40 50 55 60 series are horrible fuel pigs . The one farm that I work for was chisel plowing with a 4840 John Deere and he was bragging about how cheap it ran so I said let's fuel it up before he went to the field and we figured out it's fuel consumption was just over 12 gallons a hours I told him that it is way to expensive to run with the size of chisel plow he was pulling

I have always said you buy the dealer and take whatever he/she's selling, modern tractors are more or less all capable bar you get unlucky, they will all break down sooner or later so to have an excellent service is far more important than the colour of the machine, of course price is important we all live in the real world but the fact is most of them are in or around the same price give or take 5 percent so you buy the dealer.

Agco has offered more for your dollar for sometime. Problem here 1.5 hr away so that kills 3 hr's of the day. I have tried to buy a few deere items but they are not affordable for me unless you buy good used from other dealers. I been dealing with a IH dealer since the 80's and been good but some of this new stuff with all the buttons and lights just suck and don't matter what color. Breakdowns not hundreds they thousands and still making payments.

Cool to see a newer rig that ain’t Case IH or Deere. Hope that thing doesn’t have too many electronic bugs down the road for ya. You sure make all those controls seem smooth to operate. Does this one have a bunch of emissions stuff like DEF? Also seen your comment above about the JD Firepower brochure, I collect a lot of those brochures. It’s some of my favorite reading material. I’ve considered making some videos going through those things to share with others.

40 minutes. I didnt know either. Lol then i got asked by local Fendt dealer to work there so i did. Then a massey guy at work started showing me all this stuff and how close to a fendt they are. Looking around at the late model cheap deeres at auction and hearing the horror stories from people i know this didnt seem like a scary decision When combine shopping i originally was going to get a 9660/9760 deere. But when looking at all the trouble they had locally that close dealer wasnt that great when you were there all the time. We had 1 Claas in the neighborhood and I asked them what their 5 years were like. After doing more research that seemed to make sense.
