Different EU -USA 400 series MF tractors

mechjim · Jan 11, 2004

Hello to everybody here. I am a new here and i would like to ask you a couple of questinos!
The 400 series in the USA are diferrent from them in the EU. In the US there are 451, 471 .... and in the EU the 415, 435 ..
Do you know if i can order an <american> one?
Does anybody now where their hydraulic pump is made in?
The most suitable tractor for me is one from the 3300 series. But i cant find where this is manufactured. (The MF website had forgotten it) If somebody knows please...
PS: I had read many of the posts in the MF forum and i can see that you are very well informed!! Keep up the good work!! Greetings from Greece!!
PS2: excuse my english

Mechjim, I don't have any answers for your questions, but welcome to the forum, and as for "excusing your english", I don't see anything to excuse. /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif

The Massey 400 series sold over here is made by MF do Brazil. I'll have to see if I can find a pic of the ones you get in Greece. Probably come from Uzel in Turkey or Ursus in Poland,or maybe TAFE in India. The MF 3300 is sourced from SAME with a Perkins engine installed.

Woodbeef could you write down a couple of links with this infos?

Hey mechjim,

For info on the MF 3300 series go to www.masseyferguson.com then English International then tractors/specialist the 3300 is listed there. I'm still trying to track down who is making the 400 series sold in non-EU-NA countries.....I'm still thinking Uzel though....

woodbeef, there is not anywhere in their site the plant who makes the 3300 series. Now for the 400 they say that are made in Brazil so they must be both american and european ones there. I would be very dissapointed if i found that Same makes 3300 for Massey Ferguson.

Well then for the bad news.......yes SD-F does make the 3300 series. If you look at one check the data plate,that's what I did. The 2200 series was from Landini.

I'm still waiting for comfirmation on the 400s you get in Greece,but I could not find anything on the Uzel or TAFE site....so that rules them out. But Brazil would be the logical choice with the plants closer to you ruled out.

Ok still no reply yet from MF Marketing. But after further investigation,the Brazilian built 200 Advanced series comes pretty close to 400 series sold in parts of Europe.

Is Greece on green engines(Stage II emmissions) or not?

mechjim · Jan 15, 2004

Well as a member of E.U. Greece has to complie in the E.U. directives for the green engines. But E.U. always gives time (too much time) for compiliance. I am very curious for the purpose of having two series 3300 and 3400 with the same body same hydraylics same engines...all the same. Do you think that 3300 is only for the EU and 3400 for other countries? In the US or Canada are they sold both of them?
That date plate where excatly did you see it on the tractor?
