| Boy, not much good being said in Google Land about these. I sure could use something like this that I could afford. |

Too new for me to know anything about. Don't see that model come up for discussion on the Red board often. |

For me there are only two choices when it comes to new, under 100 H.P. tractors......Kubota or John Deere. Case IH/New Holland make be okay for big ag tractors, but search ANY model CNH under 100 h.p. and all you will see is problem after problem. They don't seem to care about small tractors. I would have recommended Massey, but their 4700 series, which is a sweet tractor, is made in China and I have seen quite a few build quality issues posted about those.

| What iv heard is that some of these size tractors are hard to buy the correct replacement parts. |

Problem with CNH is the red and blue twins up to 50 horse are made by Korean LS and the 75 to 100 horse are made in Turkey and are Fiat built as far as I know, but I still see LOTS of build quality issues with these. That's why I stick to Kubota for new stuff. They are all Kubota built, and they seem to be about the most reliable. Dealers everywhere, just like JD. But they are getting ridiculous with their price increases this year. Pretty soon they will have to paint them green to match that other over-priced brand.

| Tractor data said they were made in Italy, May or may not be accurate. Fix it again Tony. One guy stated he had 30 issues in the short time he owned one. |

When Agco dropped the orange corporate branded tractors in 11 and we told Agco where to shove it, as we’d never own another tractor branded Massey ever again. We bought a Case IH farmall 95. Made in Turkey in a fiat plant. Turns out this factory made MM tractors for decades ending in the early 80’s for Europe. Just some interesting history The tractor is now gone. It was a bit crude, and had these unnerving growling noises that came from the final drives right from the start.. the lift pump went, master brake cylinder seals went, and thats about it at 3000 hrs. ------------- ALLIS CHALMERS "The color is orange" |

| Thanks. Yeah, 31xx on this one, probably when stuff will really start falling apart. |

Sad part is, even though many of these old factories still produce tractors, like the one in Basildon England where my Ford was born, they now make junk. LOL
