MF 1547 PTO problem

You found one case demonstrates operator issue. Agco dealer has already admitted this series of traxtor has weak front ends. With all the issues these tractors are having,it is becoming ever more evident that agco has design flaws and that the tractors are not that well built.

I don't believe any of that.
My 1540 that I bought brand new now has 904 hours on it.
I bought it mainly to move pallets of Bees and honey.
When I load and unload pallets of honey supers from the truck it is often at or over the capability of the 1525 loader.
No problems whatsoever. For how many years?
But lets say my tractor does break down; I WOULD FIX IT and get on with life.
I wouldn't trade my MF tractor for anything. I love it!
And there are zillions of Challenger and MF 1533 / 1540's in our area in daily use.
GREAT TRACTORS!!

We just have to agree to disagree. It is becoming apparent others are having trouble. As far as popularity, it is really hard to find agco products around here in the farm belt. Most everyone has john deere and caseih. There is a neighbor who recently bought a large kubota. I dont know how he is getting along with it.
