Just over 3 years of owning mine and it's still doing great. I love how I can get home from work and it's too hot to do anything outside except get in the cab, turn on the AC, and catch up on my mowing!!!
in Texas maybe you had to but in NC I never had to get above the second fan speed.
Helped that tractor was parked in barn and thus no prior heat bake on it
other than the jerky three point control, which I feel better knowing I'm not the only one who had issues with it, my only wish on this tractor was that they hinged the iron grate over the moon roof. Hinge it back for cleaning and clip it in vs a spot for stuff to collect and hard to get a cleaning mop underneath.
Initially had concerns over it being a three cylinder. Also owned a 3 cyl 50hp Massey, totally different tractors and I'm now a believer in less than four cylinders. I think the sound is just a little harsher. Vs my 27hp Massey with a Mitsubishi four that ran amazingly quiet and smooth, one of my favorite motors. One 3 cyl came from India, this one came from Massey's new factory in China. Massey has always been very international in its approach, wonder how pricing is affected by the current tariffs.
Their other factor is in Brazil.
They have their big tractor factory in Jackson Minnesota, perhaps it could add more lines.
Now to see how they hold up at 5000 hours.
I remember seeing a surprising number of big Masseys in the shop for new clutch packs, some with Sisu engines, who Massey finally bought.
