I checked my Youtube mail...and here is a new video AGCO uploaded. It is going to be renamed Massey Corp yet. It would not suprise me.

Yep, the brainwashing is nearly complete. At 3:18 he has a Freudian slip and says AGCO became part of Massey! yak!

I hated them "MF" things back in the 80's when one came in the door I'd go hide in the back of the shop and hope it just go away. lol
Then 1150 where hard to work on.
Ron, Do you think he will get a new Massey shirt if he says that crap all day? lol

That's disgusting. I think everybody that has a 3 point hitch on their tractor should take it off. That would show 'em.

Is it just me, or was his nose a little bigger, and redder, at the end, than it was, at the beginning of that spiel?

I forgot to ask if this means that Massey Ferguson has replaced the Mean Green tractor company as public enemy number one.

Is this what I have to look forward to at AGCO's booth at Louisville, someone should give this clown a history lesson about A-C's contribution to agriculture!! What a joke!! Why in the hell did this company(AGCO) have to purchase MF in the first place. Anyone I know that has been around these pieces of junk whether it was working on them or running one always said there was a reason why they had "MF" plasterd all over them, and it didn't stand for Massey Ferguson!!! if you catch my drift!!!....Truly a sad sad day!

I would happily take a 7000 series any day over any massey. I am running a 7050 quite a bit yet, and it is doing a heck of a job for me. It is very cost effective. My 7050 has a lot more to do with the success of todays Agco corporation than Massey did.

Yup. Richenhagen is right up there with them as well. That pretty much rounds out the top three in my book. Edited by redline - 17 Jan 2010 at 7:47pm |

I guess the thing that torques me off about this, is that they talk about MF "progress" from the 90's on as if was Massey designed. Actually any "inovations" introduced were AGCO designs that owe more to all the other companies AGCO had bought than anything MF brought to the party. The big combine they're so proud of is a White as are the planters they sell, their tractors are AGCOs not MF. You could paint them green & white and call them Olivers and the company "history" would be more accurate. I would like to see the name changed to AGCO Massey and drop the stupid Ferguson. Unfortunatly when AGCO bought MF it was a grand plan for a world recognised name and dealer network and it is coming to fruition now. At least the Massey guys are getting better equipment from AGCO than the "real" MF could ever have built.

I'm sure AGCO has a timeline there for A-C, it's probably a quarter as long as the Massey one. It probably has about three times lines, A-C started somewhere around the early 1900's, obtained Gleaner...uh, somewhere along the way, lost everything to Deutz in the mid 80's, and became part of AGCO (since they say they never were the Allis-Gleaner Company) and now has Massey to offer worldwide. AGCO is a prefect example of how life isn't fair, Allis and Gleaner is what made that company, they get no advertising, no credit, and no respect for what they have accomplished in the past and what they have now that is being phased out and what is going to be phased out in the future. It is down right plain unaccecptable.

7000 series a joke??? They had 5-10 years of technology on just about everyone in many areas. AC did the "bellyflop" because they had mis-guided management, not because the tractors they built were sub-standard. I think AGCO is suffering from the same brainlessness that AC did.

AGCO had a good power train when they had the White rearend, but when they went to the MF power train it was junk. Bearing races are slip fit in housing. One model used hyd. pressure behind a bearing race for a pto brake. I told a service rep at a service school after MF got involved that we went back 35 years with hydraulics with MF. They showed us a new inovation in ring and pinion(a pinion with a bearing on the back) I informed them that AC had that in 1933 on a WC.
I will quit befor I get wound up on MF JUNK. MACK

I guess AGCO must stand for the Arrogant German Company. What a shame. As for the 7000 series, I love my 7020. Quiet cab, good fuel efficiency, plenty of power. I dont know what was a joke about it.

Bowsers, MF doesn't stand for "Mighty Fine" either does it? LOL
Does anyone else see a similarity between the "MF takeover" with AGCO like it was back in 86 when Deutz came in and thought they were going to tell the American Farmer what he wants? |
