Why is Massy Ferguson not a bigger deal?

Only 2 dealers in NH, Not much of a dealer net work around here.

I got the cold reception at the JD dealer, and a price switch from NH. Kubota dealers have been good, and ive bought 3 of them.

The 1500 and 1700 series are still made by Iseki, just that Mitsubishi had a tier 4 motor ready and certified for here, so they used it.

Thanks for clearing that up for me. I just know I was told by the dealer they were built by Isek. I didn't realize they had a Mitsu engine but totally agree - Mitsu has made a great diesel engine for a long time.

Now about those Gleaner combines - we will just have to disagree - big time? I grew up knowing those as Silver Seeders and then spent one summer on the central US wheat harvest in the early eighties learning to absolutely hate them. Hint: I got paid by the acre and it was a long way from what I expected to earn that summer thanks to those beloved machines!

Poor availability of parts,crappy dealers and mysterious origin of mfg. of tractor. Looks like they have plenty to work on.

Those were my thoughts when looking at Mahindra.
As far as I know unless there is a mom and pop store that sells MF I dont think Ive seen a dealer for them around in a long time. If there is a dealer they must have em stuck in the back corner somewhere behind their other brands.

With that said if they did a remake of the 265-285 tractors Id love to have a 285 4x4 with FEL.
