Have not owned one in canada but had them in britian and were mechanically good,Very good engines (same as larger MF 3000 series)and trannies were good My experience was with 110-180 hp 1997-2005 tractors and we had 2 8000 series and 3 "T" series ,The 8000's were pretty good but T series were a different story ,Hyd pumps,Front axles and the big thing was non stop electrical problems and dealers were surprizingly poorly equiped and fitters were under trained ,They were poular in some areas of GB but they were very expensive new and very poor trade in's and hard to sell used but motors were unbeatable ,First tractor to run an all bio fuel engine ?
