To me that reads that someone bought an mf for £115k, sometime later @Speedstar priced an mf and fendt and the fendt was cheaper, I've actually heard the same from 2 other sources about mf being more money.
Massey are pricing themselves as an equal premium product by the looks of things.
side by side after 5year & 5000hr the fendt will be far more sell-able & worth a load more it pains me to say that but its completely true.

I knew the new mf 8 would be a lot of money but a bit shocked when 2 different people said they were more than equivalent fendt.

Well time will tell with this new range could be on par with fendt in the long run, I doubt it mind
yeah Fendt have done a fab job on the scale of things too come from where there were 30years ago.
And it looks like for all there owned by the same Mothership dealing with them seems to be now better than the Red Giants.
Like ive said before if & when Fendt & Massey move totally away from each other it would be far more beneficial for both.
as things currently stand even die hard massey lads have moved to the German brand & realized its just a better product.
more so in the long term.

Obvious I would have thought. Completely unverifiable claims made for one. MF 8’s are going out in the region of £115k, claims of 265hp of Fendt are less. Where are the quotes?

It doesn't say anywhere that there was a 265hp fendt cheaper than £115k, it says at some point a 265hp mf was £115k, its been eleborated on later that it was an early price so would have been very keen to get some shifted, currently spec for spec fendt are cheaper, I'm not getting people to put quotes on here but I'm 100% happy that what they've told me is true.

There are 8’s going out on farm now and there is no way a Fendt 826 is less. Absolutely none.
