Think if you look in the spec of the motor its no were near the same engine , its not just deck a plate motor, all so the gearbox is not the same as in the MF & Valtra , The Red Mist boys will tell you this but it is not & the software for it was not made by Toys R Us like the the red ones , Price is about 280k with 8000 hours warranty & tyre inflation on it ,take all these away & your MF & Valtra will be in the same area as it on price , but then you have to look at what the Mf & Valtra tractor is worth second hand !!! look at the second hand value of a 8s ,
No Bother me ive no req for neither of the 3 brands at that HP

He said it was for farm that ran Fendts also, and wanted same warranty 🤷

Didn't question it any further.

Would take you 20 years to reach 8k hours!
I can confirm no further warranty on a massey beyond 5yr old & 6000 hr
Fendt was currently 8 yr & 8000 hr unless thats changed since ?
Mind to typically put a Fendt to that is a £30k charge.

I did say its a new engine in the fendt everyone is aware of that surely.
No Red Mist here ive never done the hours so the more outlay for the fendt has never been justified for me.
Its all good the Fendt poss holding onto more of its higher purchase price even say 10years down the line
but the taxman will just take more of that back off you so there is no real winners here.
They very well might be the best of the best but your paying for that somewhere.
