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!

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.

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?

We now have this amazing tool called the internet to voice our opinions on. Wish we all could have had a way to communicate like this in the mid 80s. Things might have been different then. Maybe some of the 8000 series ideas would have survived through the green weenies.
