Never did hear anything from Massey or the dealer. Don't think anyone wants to mess with it. I even contacted Massey again last week and told them no one got back to me. They have lost any future business of mine and I definitely won't recommend them.
No surprise to me at all. Welcome to what i call the "agco club". Your not the only one that is totally fed up with and has had it with agco. The agco kool aid drinkers will probably attack me agaiin, but it is what it is.

If you've documented all of your issues you've had prior to the warranty expiring, perhaps consider pursuing a civil suit for a possible "lemon law" violation.

That is about how many hours my tractor had on it when things went to h___ in a hand basket. Now it is one thing after anothet with my mf. What a heap of junk. I hope it does not happen to your tractor.

I got a 2015 Massey Ferguson 4608 bought used with 480hrs march 17. It now has 780 hrs on it. My only complaint is the shuttle can be a little rough sometimes and the damper on the flywheel makes a rattle sometimes that echoes threw the transmission. I started mine today in the single digits with no block heater. I honestly really like the machine. My brother has a 2009 5065e John Deere. I'm not a big fan of it. When it's cold like it has been in West Virginia here lately,the hydraulic pump sounds really bad until it warms up which of course has to do with the cold spell we are in and in the summer the transmission tunnel gets really hot doing hard hay work It won't start unless It plugged in under 30 degrees. Don't get me wrong it's got 3000 hrs on it and has been reliable but they have there own set of issues also.ive had no issues outta my Massey but only time will tell
With the ignition switch off, pull the bottom rh 5 amp fuse out the box. Set it somewhere safe. Turn the key to accessory. Scroll through the dash using the square button and select clutch with a long press. Scroll with short presses until you find the highest number and select with a long press. Turn the key off. Replace the fuse. Crank it and use it.

I bought a 4610 when they first came out and it currently has a little under 300 hours on it. I bought a brand new tractor so that I wouldn't have the headache of working on older equipment all the time. Well in the time I've owned this tractor I've had nothing but issues. My dealer has been good about working on it but enough is enough. I've had many issues but the one that is driving me crazy is fighting this thing every winter. I keep it plugged in and it will never start and freezes up all the time. It has even froze up a few times while operating it. Enough is enough, I'm tired of fighting this tractor, especially when the whole point of spending a lot of money on a new tractor was so I didn't have these headaches. Has anyone else had problems with theirs and especially with them freezing up or being **** near unusable in the winter. My Kubota and New Holland work just fine but this thing hates the cold. Both of those are new and work as they should no matter the weather etc. If you have had any other issues with yours please let me know also because I've had other issues too. They've replaced countless sensors on mine, the power steering is the weakest I've ever used on a tractor, the air conditioning is about useless when it's really hot outside and I have an issue where the pto light starts blinking or goes completely out and it seems to lose power to whatever I'm using. Has anyone had any luck having anything done about them helping you trade out of a tractor into a new one or anything like that? Like I said, this thing has under 300 hours and has been a constant pain in the ***. I will say this, when everything is working right, I really like it. It's just very rare that it's working "right".
They offer a steering cylinder helper kit if you bring it in for warranty specifically if your power steering is weak as a snake. I'd complain like ****. Write a letter if you have to. A 100hp tractor should steer lock to lock with a bucket full of dirt.

I'm not here to bash a brand or just find every little thing I can to complain about. I'm just fed up after 3 years of numerous annoying things. I can't remember the temp when it "froze up running" but we were using it to put out hay and it would just stop and die. Now I will say, I'm not very mechanically inclined, which is why I bought a new tractor to begin with...to avoid hassles all the time. I mess around on my farm in my spare time and it's not my full time job. But after it died the first time I went ahead and replaced the fuel filter and then ran it again and it did the same thing after about 30 more minutes, if my memory is correct. I put the heater to blowing on it and it seemed to thaw it out after about half and hour and it restarted and ran fine to finish feeding. I do use an additive and I"ll be honest the name escapes me right now but I'll look at the bottle when I get home. I run the same exact fuel through my NH and my Kubota and they have never missed a beat. I've fought fuel issues with this tractor from day one. Summer, spring, fall and winter. It would always throw codes and then throw the fuel rail pressure code and put it in limp mode and I would have to idle it basically back to the barn. They replaced a few sensors and this last time seem to have it running better although it will still throw the one code, I believe it's 31. It's frustrating as ****. I'm at work here typing from memory so forgive me if I give the wrong info. The AC has never worked worth a darn. It just never seems to cool it enough, I've even thought about having the windows tinted. This thing is NOISY. Being new to tractors I didn't realize it at the time but **** this thing is noisy in the cab. My PTO light will flash and go all the way out sometimes and the dealer said that could be a sensor issue too. I also had a sensor of some sort go bad in the transmission that they fixed. There's too many sensors on these things anymore evidently. I love my NH workmaster, it seems simple and it's never given me a bit of problems. Just a good basic tractor. My Kubota is a CTL and I haven't used it enough but I've had no issues so far out of it. The only thing I seem to constantly fight with on my farm is the Massey Ferguson. Like I said I'm not here to bash a brand, just fed up with this thing. I did finally get it started last night though and it worked good enough to get hay out. But that was after trying multiple times and finally putting the kerosene heater on it again to warm it up. This is after having it plugged in too.
Maybe you have a kinked fuel line underneath. Check the zip ties going from the tank to the filters and to the pump. Sometimes the assembly line man gets a little "happy" with all those zip ties. As for the transmission, they are supposed to give you a new doormat and pad your cab with peel n seel or some sticky rubber garbage. Makes a big difference.
