MF2625 DL250 FEL Selling Price

[SDT]

I've decided to replace my MF 2635/DL250 with a larger Kubota. I'm not one to trade cars/trucks/tractors, etc. Rather, I've always done better selling my item before/after buying a replacement.

My 2635 is a 2012 with about 95 hours (more put on by the dealer than by me). It has the MF DL250 FEL with third function valve and never used HD bucket (bolt on cutting edge). It also has a full set of 6 front weights with bracket, four rear weights (2 per side), dual rear remotes (2 levers/4 couplings), extendable lift arms and arm rests. Though not installed due to the front weight bracket, the loader package includes a grill guard which I have. Rear tires are 16.9X28, 6 ply (later models being supplied with 14.9X28s). Always inside. Looks new.

Local NH/Kubota dealer offered me $25K trade in. I rejected this as I'm confident I can sell it for considerably more and dealers pricing for desired Kubota model not competitive.

How much more?

Did you ever sale the tractor or trade?

Sorry for the delayed response. I do not visit this site often and forgot about this post. I also noticed a typo in the subject line. My tractor is a 2635 rather than the discontinued 2625.

No, I still have it. I decided to build another pole building this summer and put off replacing my MF 2635 and 533 with Kubotas until next year.

My existing building is full to exploding and the new building will allow me to buy/sell per my schedule while keeping everything inside.

I will replace the 533 first as it is the tractor upon which I spend the most time. Hopefully, I can replace both nest year.

Just curious, why are you replacing with Kubota's?

 

[SDT]

Not yet, but m new post building is nearly finished. This will allow me to buy/sell over the winter without letting anything sit outside during the transition.

I've lost confidence in both MF and my dealer. Neither have treated me well.

I do not have such issues with Kubota or my Kubota dealer.

Today, I bought a Kubota M9960HD12 ROPS to replace my MF 2635. Yes, I am well aware that the 9960 is considerably larger than the 2635 but the comparable M7060 was not nearly such a good deal as was the 9960.

Plan to sell the 2635 over the winter/spring.

Will work on replacing the MF 533 with a Kubota L6060 once the 2635 is sold.

One down and one to go.

It's a shame that Massey dealers seem to be following this path. It's my opinion that MF will be no more in the next 5-10 years. Every dealer but one within a 1-2 hour drive of my house is now closed or changed to another tractor brand. Sad to see.

From what I've seen, the exact opposite is true. AGCO seems to be doubling down on the MF brand and each MF dealership I see seems to be increasing MF sashes and inventory. I see MF getting stronger in the near future, not weaker. The Iseki built compacts I've had experience with are incredible machines.

Yea but they are now pricing with John Deere. Just priced a new open station 4066m for 36,5xx. A new MF 1759 was 39,xxx. R4's, 2 remotes, loader, skid steer bucket, power reverser.

50c Case IH 34,5xx same setup. I know it's smaller but largest in frame size.

XR4155 LS was 24,3xx. Mechanical reverser but otherwise the same.

Massey use to be a bargain tractor ( lack of better term). They were priced below the majors but still were reliable. I was raised with Massey's 255 & 471. So not bashing just wish they were more levels competitively priced.

Well they will have to resurrect a huge amount of dealers in the SE. Hardly any left now and thus have lost a large customer base to other manufactures. I hope your right but here in the SE it will be a major undertaking to rebuild and restore what is now gone.

Are those cab or open station prices?

FYI, the 1759 is a premium line, the 4066R would be the comparable premium tractor, not the 4066M. I believe the Case 50c is an LS (with over inflated pricing) ... And the LS XR pricing can't really be beat by anyone.

When looking for a PowerShuttle in this size, the Massey, with the DynaQPS, offers the best PowerShuttle system available (push button gear selection)... I believe the MF also has the strongest hydraulics in the segment.

The MF is priced nearly as high as the other "premium" brands because it IS a premium brand, in my experience and opinion anyhow.

The MF dealer here changed to Mahindra. One of the oldest dealers around.

Open station prices.

The 1759 was the only thing they had that spec'd out. And Deere dealer wasn't interested in pricing me an R series. So I can't compare. The Massey dealer seamed to be proud of a 5 year warranty and thought I should buy based on that because nobody else offers it. (There are others).

Case is a repainted overpriced LS.

Really believe if I could sit on an LS I'd go that route but finding one to "test drive" is a problem.

I don't remember about hydraulics but am thinking you maybe correct. Power shuttle or mechanical shuttle both still shuttle. . Even on power shuttle I find myself using the clutch to change directions.

See I really don't see the "premium" in the Massey. Like I said I was raised with them and they were always the basic bargain tractors. And where always bought below the big 3. I remember when the 471 was bought. Deere on comparable tractor was 6-7k higher NH about the same. Case was 1k higher(and my choice as dealer was half as far.) Then Kubota wasn't even in there. I always ranked Massey above Kubota. Maybe Massey has changed to a premium brand but I still don't see it. They are good tough tractors I'm not trying to bash them just think they're priced premium when they're more average.

Sounds like if you want a more "budget" lined tractor from Massey, look at the 2706e Massey Ferguson | 2700E Series Utility Tractor

I've got no stake in Massey, so your opinion of them certainly has no consequence to me ... But I've owned, or had direct experience with, modern lines from numerous manufactures. I also put lots of hours on my machines, in both commercial and personal usage. I can tell you that there is certainly nothing "average" about the Massey premium CUT line, they are top notch in design, build quality, materials, and durability.

Now the 2635 mentioned originally in this thread is not a premium line model. From many accounts posted just on this forum, the TAFE built machines have had myriad issues. From memory, neither are the ones you mentioned (premium).

There are premium, and basic, machines from each brand. You can't fairly compare pricing until you compare the proper models.

And... I've owned shuttle, I've driven power shuttle, and I've driven Massey's DynaQPS. There's a noticeable difference.

Here's another poster's research on the differences. http://www.tractorbynet.com/forums/buying-pricing-comparisons/345251-mf2706e-vs-mf1759.html

Yep. They are a little late to the game with the new E series tractors, but that will be their salvation. The 1700 premium tractors are SUPER nice, but the new 1700E and 2700E tractors are extremely reasonable, and put them back in the running with some very well spec'd and priced tractors.

They are setting up lots of dealers across Texas, as we speak.

If you have never sold a tractor on Tractorhouse the first add is free. I sold a JD last year in one week. About MF Dealers , I have 2 within 50 miles of me and they are top notch

From what I know, I agree about the Iseki machines. I once owned an Iseki (Bolens) SCUT and had no issues iwth it. That said, MF/AGCO is not Iseki.

I could have bought a MF 4610 with cab for what I paid for my Kubota M9960HD12 ROPS but AGCO has permanently lost me due to the way I have been treated both by MF and my MF dealer.

Never again.

Now that the MF 2635 has been replaced, I plan to replace my smaller MF 533 (2007 version of the 135) with a Kubota L6060 or, possibly, the comparable JD 4066R.

Will probably go with the Kubota due to past experience with both Kubota and my local Kubota dealer. No experience with the JD dealer and have had multiple bad experiences with local MF dealer.

Never again.
