Massey Ferguson 2860M Cab

[redneck24]

Hopefully I just got a lemon I just purchased a 2023 Massey Ferguson 2860m cab hydrostat it had 3 hours on it when they delivered it and the air conditioner didn't work it would blow 80° air the AC controls were falling out of the ceiling there were missing nuts and bolts all over the place scratches and dents on the metal the loader joystick handle is loose and flops around when you drive it one of the rear rims are bent and has bead sealant all around it but still goes flat the rear PTO Shield fell off because the bolts were never tightened the fuel gauge in the dash didn't work they tore the dash apart pulled the wiring harness apart put a new fuel sending unit in it and then ultimately found out it was the ECU computer was bad and had to replace that I sent it back to the dealership and told them I want the different tractor or a full refund it's been there 2 weeks and they are blaming Massey Ferguson for not getting back to them with an answer we were so excited for this purchase as we saved up two years for it and we only used it for 1 hour the dealer I bought it from is about three and a half hours away and they're complaining about picking it up and delivering it my local dealer said they will not work on it under warranty because I did not buy it from them I cannot believe a $50,000 purchase and I cannot get it fixed at any other dealer but the one I purchased it from

Sounds like you priced shopped, and purchased from a crappy dealer that didn’t go over the tractor or know what to do with a tractor. Did you even go look at the tractor? My local Massey dealer is top notch, and yes there are dealers that sell for cheaper, but then they don’t go over the tractor the same as the local dealer. No way I would by from some of the other dealers around. A dealer makes all the difference in the world when buying a new machine. They should be going over it completely and making sure everything is working to spec, something the dealer you bought it from did not do.

I don't blame the dealer I blame Massey Ferguson for part of it doing a sloppy build. welds on the loader joystick handle were broken that's why it was loose. A bent rim from being chained down in shipping and the expansion valve in the air conditioner had a metal fragment in it and wouldn't spray Freon correctly so the entire system needs to be replaced as they don't know where the metal came from the dealership finally convinced Massey to trade out the tractor for a new one because of all the problems. Getting a WR long third function remote installed on the front and the new one should be delivered next week fingers crossed

Sorry to hear about your problems. I now have 50 hours on mine, trouble free. Runs like a champ and air work great.

Got my new2024 Massey 2860mh and the ac blows nice and cold. Only have 4 hours on it and noticed while using the loader with the grapple to pick up 2 heavy trees the hydraulic rams got hot I would guess 120 degrees after 45minutes of work is that normal? My old new holland never even got warm. Oil in sight glass is full to the top from dealer
Is that over full

You're good. Nothing to worry about.

Got all the water spots off the windows now to get them tinted to help the ac here in s. FL
Also installed exterior led lights in the roof over the cab doors wired to the interior light to come on when you open the doors.

I also bought a new Massey 2860M, and took delivery in October 2024.I did have the dealer add the 3rd function before delivery, and used it a lot this past winter with my grapple.Got 54 trouble free hours on it so far, and have no regrets.I also owned a Massey 1754 platform.previous and traded it on my new unit.I just did my recommended 50 hour oil and filter change today, and there were no surprises. Virtually the same chassis as my 1754.I already owned a beautiful woods backhoe that was mounted previously on my ford 1920, and on my Massey 1754.Great hoe.Bought a new woods brush bull for it last November,and plan to use it for the first time tomorrow.All is good so far!My dealer is awesome,sealing the deal on my Massey purchases.
