Price Paid : $0.00
Years of Use : 3+ Years
Implements : Front End Loader (FEL)
Purchased From : Chico Farm & Orchard
Strengths Fuel efficient, easy to operate, plenty of pulling/lifting power for every task I throw at it from removing oak roots to moving rocks so big they barely fit in the FEL bucket, comfortable to operate for hours at a time. My local dealer has been very supportive and I have had no problem obtaining the few parts that I've needed at a reasonable price.
Weaknesses Nagging issues with cavitation. This doesn't prevent me from accomplishing the task at hand, it just delays me a couple of seconds here and there. No other weaknesses in this tractor!
Overall Overall, this is an excellent machine. It is well designed, ergonomically excellent, fuel efficient, stable, maneuverable and well built.

Years of Use : 3+ Years
Implements : FEL
Purchased From : Boone Tractor
Strengths This tractor is the worst excuse for a tractor I have ever seen it has only one strength and that is ease of use when it isn't in the shop.
Weaknesses It has nothing but weaknesses.
Overall This tractor had had nothing but problems, hydraulic lines leaking in factory welds, rear-end came out at 250 hrs front end came out at 480hrs. Loader control valve started pouring fluid at 100 hrs. Basically a piece of junk and the tractor was 3 months out of warranty when the front-end came out after at least 4 recorded warranty problems including rear-end. Massey Ferguson said there was nothing they could do about the front end it was out of warranty. DO NOT BUY ANYTHING MASSEY FERGUSON SELLS. Do not be attracted buy the great financing deals they offer it is the only way they can sell there junk.

Strengths NONE
Weaknesses The entire tractor is a weakness
Overall It is easy to operate and confortable but that is all that is good about this tractor. The rear-end went out with 300 hours and then the front end went out at 500 hours. There have been so many other problems there is not room here to list them. So if you see one of these nice tractor sitting somewhere and it catches you eye, turn your head and run.

Strengths This tractor has done everything asked of it. Great power and economy. Has some features and capabilities not found on John Deere and others. Do your research and you'll be buying a Massey Ferguson tractor!
Weaknesses None so far except in cold weather ,seat safety switch does'nt like to work. I just bypassed it.
Overall Love this tractor!! Used to own a J.D. 750. This tractor is far better and a better value than a J.D. replacement.

Review By : John on Dec 4 2007 12:00AM
Price Paid : $23,000.00
Years of Use : New Owner (0-1 Year)
Implements : FEL
Purchased From : Local Dealer
Strengths Power, lifting ability, ease of operation
Weaknesses The FEL controls take a little getting used to and could be placed better (when turned to look behind, my right knee will knock the FEL control and make the bucket do things without my knowledge, making for unfortunate events -- in time I will learn to pay better attention to what my nee is doing). FEL control know comes off the stick too easilly.
Overall This tractor replaced a GC2300 that was just too small for real farm work. So far, this tractor is doing everything I need it to do, is easy to operate (my paraplegic wife operates it more comfortably than the GC2300 with no modifications).

Years of Use : 2+ Years
Implements : brushog, box blade, font end loader.
Purchased From : sids farm supply muskogee ok
Strengths very roomy, very user friendly.handles very well and is great for farm use.
Weaknesses only had two problems with the tractor so far 1 year after purchess the motor blew with approx 200 hrs on it the cam shaft broke in half, but the company put a new motor in it and its ran great since. the other problem is the tackometer quit working.the front end loader seems to be a little short of reach.
Overall even though i had some problems i still think its a great little tractor. and i would buy another one. the parts and filters are very expensive, and sometimes hard to get at least here in oklahoma.
