As I've stated before, do your research. Your research is not my responsibility, and I will not do it for you.
As I have previously stated, several, though certainly not all, other issues have been mentioned in prior posts.
Your reference to 10 minutes demonstrates your lack of objectivity yet again. I am a prolific writer, having learned such skill earning my 5 degrees, and I can attest that, rather than 10 minutes, it would take hours to relate my dissapointing 8+ year MF saga. I have written treatises in years past and have neither desire nor intenton of so doing here.
FWIW, the same lift pin broke yet again approximately 140 yours later. Neither MF, nor the MF dealer that replaced it previously (reread the earlier post) would stand behind the obvious manufacturing defect (or repair work). Would you be happy?
This is simply one of many dissapointing issues.
That said, your lack of objectivity is readily apparent and I will spend no additional time responding to such emotional posts.
Hopefully you will have good luck with your MFs. I have moved on and will not return.
I will also not respond to any more of your posts demonstrating a lack of objectivity.

A person of such prolific writing prowess, certainly, should be able to state, in a quick, direct, uncomplicated form, the issues he or she is claiming.
What about a brief, concise list of the problems you've had? Certainly it would take far less time, and far less effort than your apparent avoidance protocol, in which you, yet again, spend time explaining why you won't divulge the alleged issues you have experienced, instead of actually divulging the alleged issues.
The so-called "lack of objectivity" that you accuse me of, would be much more descriptive of the "avoidance to fact" in which you demonstrate so well. I can be neither objective, nor subjective, to your alleged problems... Simply because you haven't said what they were. Your lack of explanation is not my responsibility, though I did read the threads started by you, and did not observe the alleged complaints (whatever they may be) you claim to have experienced.
Regarding the only confirmed issue you've alleged, the lift-pin, I would say that if the unit is out of warranty, I can't understand why one should expect the manufacturer to replace it. I'm not saying I wouldn't be irritated, as I would expect that anyone would be. However, it's not likely that AGCO actually constructs the lift pin, as they probably purchase it from a vendor. Would you disagree?
Perhaps you will continue to bash Massey without substantiation... Surely there is no means for us to keep you honest, besides of course calling you out on your seemingly false criticism of alleged negative experiences. But it would certainly serve the forum, and those folks who come here for education, to a better degree, if you would finally either admit that you are, actually, a "troll" here only to negatively impact the Massey Ferguson brand... Or finally disclose what issues you actually experienced, so that others can learn from them. I will add that my skepticism of your allegations is not dependant upon my brand preference. I like things about each of the brands, and I will likely purchase machines from other brands in the future, depending on specific needs as they arise. With that said, whether you were being critical of Massey, Kubota, John Deere, etc... I'd be just as skeptical, regardless of brand, if you weren't substantiating your claims.
Seems simple, and easy, enough.
