In case of an old massey ferguson 240 tractor from 1987.

How often to expect technical problems?

What are the average costs to encounter (to repair the problems)?

It is not tractor brand that determines reliability, it is the prudence and skill of the operators.

Prudence and skill in performing routine maintenance.

Prudence and skill in operating the tractor.

Multiple owners decrease reliability. Commercial use with changing operators decreases reliability.

At my local Kubota dealer mechanic time is $75 per hour. Florida is cheap compared to NE and West Coast.

Do you have the tools, time and skills to wrench the tractor yourself, or will a dealer wrench it?

Parts should be readily available in USA and Canada but like tractor parts for all brands, EXPENSIVE.

You physical location should be part of your T-B-N PROFILE.

Hi jeff... you again ;-)

It sounds clear.

Can you tell me whats the average age reachable of a tractor like an MF-240 only used by a handy operator who knows what she's doing until big pricey problems can be expected? And then i'll talk about average scale commercial farming and normal required usage.

or (more easy)

Whats the average age reachable of a tractor from a good brand like MF?

Many would expect 10,000 engine hours from CAREFULLY MAINTAINED diesel compact tractor engines before major repairs. Few multi-owner tractors are consistently carefully maintained.
