I purchased a new MF1526, FEL, and Caroni flail mower about ten days ago. Had to wait a few days for the mower to come in. Delivery was today from my dealer about 130 miles away. When it got here, it would not come off the trailer! The 3-pt hitch would not lift the mower but two inches. It had been fine at the dealer when loaded, but something apparently went wrong on the drive here. The driver tried everything he could think of, called back to their shop and tried all the shop foreman could think of, but no go. They called AGCO/Massey and were told it was likely a problem with a plugged valve to the hitch. They were told it was some kind of known problem with new tractors. So after about an hour here it was back to the dealer shop for repairs. I should have it back again day after tomorrow. Feel kind of sorry for the driver who has to make the five hour round trip twice now. This dealer sells primarily big agricultural equipment. I was told they sell on average one or two tractors below 50hp each year, so a 1526 is not exactly something they are familiar with, but seem to be very good people.
