Hey ya'll,

Does anyone know any information on the Tafe brand tractors? I read all the pages in this forum, but it wasn't much info there.

I drove the Tafe 3840 (with power steering and dual stage clutch) and the Tafe 2800 today. I liked the tractors alot. The 3840 seems almost identical to my uncle's 1997 Massey Ferguson 231.

The dealer said that the 2800 has a Mitsubishi engine and the 3840 has a Perkins engine. Well, the brochure on 3840 says it has a " Simpsons S 325.3 Diesel Engine ". Is the dealer or the brochure lying, or am I just confused?

P.S........I am a VERY PROUD Mahindra owner. This post is for my cousin. He is planning on buying next week. I will say that he DID like the Tafe tractors better than the Mahindras on the models he was looking at.

Thanks alot.

Travis

Hey Travis,

Pop the hood, The Engine will have a manufacturers plate on the engine, stateing the name of manufacturer, date, HP, etc.

Get your tractors running &
Have a nice day,

I read somewhere that the Simpson is a clone of a Perkins.

The 2800 is an LG machine, the same company that makes Montana and Farmtrac Compacts. Mitsubushi is a good engine and I understand that LG driveline is one of the best.

Travis,

Not sure if their web site would give you the info that you are looking for, but if you do a search for Tafe tractors, it should bring up their site. I was on it last week. I believe their USA headquarters is in Mississippi.
Forgot to ask: how was the pricing or did you ask?
