Its as if MF have been left out too dry n get on with things themselves to be honest
You can buy a IDEAL combine in either MF or FENDT livery ok
At that point when they leave the same factory neither has anything too do with the other
so lets say there is issues with a MF badged one or the other way around, if higher up finds a fix it most likely will never get passed on too the other lot.
now thats some way to run a business eh.
As a Massey operator id rather the supplying dealer had nowt too do with the other as its doing far more harm than good imho.
fair enough use parts or major components from each other but that should be the end of it.
Massey isnt at LAMMA because its using its Show budget in other ways like plenty other major players do.
LAMMA isnt cheap none of them shows are.

Think they are separating them at dealers because fendt are so much better and people are just buying fendts.

,
these figures are 2018 but Fendt are below 1000 tractors so not exactly stealing the MF business, I imaging both Fendt and MF will have improved a little

I dont blame them, Massey once again standing still for too long & yet again left behind.
The 8S has been too long in arriving for them id say.
If its right thats a whole diff story.
am sure there will be 7S within 2 years but could be too late.
After being told price increases on the last of the current smaller 7700 chassis models still available then no wonder folks aint buying them
Fendt are pretty much matching a fully specced massey HP for HP but & we all know this, yet Massey just have blinkers on at this point
5000hrs down the line the Fendt pays off big style.
Such a shame as i still like the masseys
One of my friends just ordered 5 8s’...less than 3% increase on his hire charge for 2 years over wfat he’s been paying for 7700 series...I couldn’t believe it...

Thats good the hear then, they have just strung the 7700 series poss for just too long while these 8S have been getting sorted behind the scenes.
Same like for like 7719 jumped £10k in 18months tho... figure that one out...

oh hold on how much have ag machinery jumped since 2013..... ave of 30% easily.
rollon 2024 they wont be able to give the stuff away... we will have the last laugh yet
Perhaps that was the tactics, put the old ones up so the new ones seem likely a bargain!

No idea about kubotas.
Our ex JD dealer has just taken on kubota so I expect there will be quite a few of them appearing around here shortly.
They’ve built the engine...they’ve also built a new r & d centre in beuvais strangely...I expect the new Kubota to look like a MF...apparently they gained a few staff from down the road??
Kubota S7509 Large Displacement Industrial Engine From: Kubota Engine America Corp.
Kubota enters the 300 hp market with its S7509 engine which provides 100% power take-off at the flywheel and fan side.
