Questions that are surely a bit previous. UK dealers and salesmen have probably not even seen them in the metal yet, what with the lockdowns and travel fears.

Thought there were some in country

one for the MF die hards

I am guessing there has been some sort of embargo stopping any reviews. Maybe Farmers Weekly etc will get to report something too. Farmers ironically seem to be the last to get their hands on anything. They are 'only' the people that actually buy the damned things after all... I’m sure it’s the...

There may well be one or two at Stoneleigh but who can travel to see them?

Not driven one but had a look at one. Looks nice to be honest and better finished, more in line with Fendt. I can understand why we have read about AGCO dealers splitting up to promote single brands rather than all of AGCO's offering. However with it the prices have been pushed up. Nothing in writing but the sales person was suggesting the gap between MF and Fendt prices would be not a lot.

I was doing some land drainage work last week. next to Massey Ferguson training at Stoneleigh last week and one was floating around they must’ve been test driving up and down the road just too far to take some pictures but it was definitely different.

I’ve got a price on a 8s 265.......bit more than I’d like but is anything going to come down in the next few years?

I was told recently by an employee of a dealership in the south of the UK that they were expecting some to arrive by the end of November

way out of my budget or requirement but i would like a look around one.

Has anyone seen the replacement for the 5700 series yet? Perhaps 5S range?

Early December is when they are launched. Local dealer told me he has already sold one.

Theyd needa be better than the 5700. Theres not many of them locally but what iv been hearin there givin a heap of trouble. Was in jd dealer today and seen 1 of them sittin that belonged to a local. Said tractor had been in dealers over 20 times with big problems and it hadnt a hard life or many hours

Couldn’t fault my 5713. 3 years, 3000 hours and not a problem. 5613 before that, and much the same.
Wanted vario and front linkage but same hp. MF were a mile off Fendt when it came to price. Pity, as I’ve always liked the Fergies.

seems whatever transmission you opt for on the 8s it will be a fendt rear end

The Profi review comes over quite well I thought.

Yep just read it. Cab in particular seems a big leap forward and the layout and switchgear appears more premium

Are the prices in Profi list or approx on farm?
