Massey Ferguson Seed Drill MF 30 and MF 500

[mahammad]

Hello,
Is there any body has idea about the differences between Massey Ferguson MF30 and MF500 drills?
I want to buy one of them and I don't know which one is better.
Thanks.

There are quite a lot of differences, I am sure someone will be able to list them better than me. I think the 500 is slightly harder to get parts for, we have a 30 and there is a lot of old donor drills about for parts and most of the UK wearing part companies stock all the wearing parts

Main difference is 500 has double acting ram so coulters are pressurised up and down.
30 has springs to lift coulters.

The double acting coulters on mf 500 are a pain

Would be 23 to30 discs
Mf 30 is simpler and easier for parts
