| Starting to see more Massey's in the country. I got a massey 4610 loader & chore tractor. Had it a year & like it a lot. Better if it was orange though . Shameless someone want's to get done in a hurry. |

I bought a used MF 1533 compact tractor a few weeks ago in Roosevelt, Utah. Had to attend a meeting in Gunnison, CO on the way back from picking it up. I saw a lot more newer MF tractors in yards and fields then JD's. Both brands have about the same amount of dealers, often next to each other. Must be price?

Go a little ways west from me over in SW MN and you'll see very large BTOs where there will be things like two large Cat tractors pulling two 24 row Kinze planters in the same field!

| The big thing with the massey's is the transport speed over the green beans! Noticed that last year with the farm I work at loves the green beans and we kept having to pull over and let the massey's get around while on the road. |

| The Dowson's had 10 planters sitting outside this spring after being serviced in the shop. All 24 and 36 row units. They all left and went to the field. Wonder how many acres of corn they've planted by now? |
