Greetings,
Over the last couple years I became interested and then an owner of a MF tractor. But I seem to lack an understanding of how MF identifies their past and present tractors and model groupings compared to other brands.
1. In subcompacts its easy in that a subcompact model starts with GC. But the older scuts are 2300, 2400, and 2600 series while the new models are 1700 series. New products yet smaller numbers ????
2. But then it gets more confusing as MF doesn't use letters to indicate all their other model categories . . So you have 1500s and 1700s and 3 digit and 4 digit numbers jumping all over the brand.
My question is . . MF makes some great product but seems to have zero logic in identifying those great product. What am I not undetstanding? Kubota has BX and B and L and M etc. So very quickly a person can categorize sizes and groupings. Meanwhile the MF 1700 series has 3 or 4 (??? ) frame sizes and 9 units in it and that doesn't include the GC1700s.
I don't get it
