Pacersdad, sorry, but this is often how things wind up here, threads will often take an abrupt turn as the subtleties of an unpredicted topic, which are usually related to the intended topic, but by different degrees, get discussed.
You might start a thread about cutting firewood, and end up talking about the new Ford f150s for example. Not always desirable, but so it goes.
Tso, I agree about the size of the MX. Interestingly, tractor data.com lists the MX as a utility tractor. It also classifies the 8n as one. It doesn't describe the large grand L's as utility tractors, nor the dk or ds 40-50s they are uncategorized. The Massey 1648 is listed as a compact. I think they're all about the same size, right? I don't even think the MX (certainly not the 8n) is the heaviest. So I guess my point is that the term is a little murky. I think the tractors we have could be called "large compacts" or "small utility" tractors. Hopefully, the perfect size for me.
Back to the question, though, they are all good. If you are buying a new tractor, and doing your homework, you should end up with a great machine. Actually tso, who has already contributed here just bought that Massey Ferguson recently. He compiled a great spreadsheet with a number of manufacturers represented. The size he and I have is about the biggest tractor you can find with hst, so it's worth looking at. Search for "apples to apples" once you figure out what you have available in your area, drive a few. Tell us what you think of them and how you like the dealership. Buy the one that suits you. Keep us posted.
