Verdict ... it's not a John Deere
Scrubs up well for an auld 2640

Looks to be daily routine cleaning front grill.. only real problem I can see is paying for it

Even the JD (which is now at 270hp) was only managing 6.5kph as it was a hell of a crop of Abergain PRG so your Case would have fainted and been chucked in the sea to mend its ways.

So your disappointed with a 220hp tractor that’s not even ran in yet so probably feels like 200 compared to a 270remapped horsepowers in a well ran in tractor your used to
And 270hp at the shaft is 317hp at the flywheel.So your disappointed with a 220hp tractor that’s not even ran in yet so probably feels like 200 compared to a 270remapped horsepowers in a well ran in tractor your used to

I had to 'drive' an mf like that yesterday to tow the weedwiper we were using for our PA2f. The owner sat on the auxilliary seat to tell me how to do it. The last tractor I drove was an M reg Zetor I think.
The owner is doing his assessment just before me next week so I've asked him to do the same again.

Disappointed? Moi?
1) I never drive tractors these days unless it's my own Deutz and then very rarely
2) We only buy JDs but it would have been rude not to have accepted the kind offer of the Massey
3) The guys who did use it for a variety of work where it doesn't matter if it hadn't been fully run in (tedding, trailer work & tanker) didn't rate it highly. As noted above, it's more an arable tractor IMO with all those buttons etc.
4) Looks a bit odd with the bonnet seemingly detached from the cab but I guess it's unique
That's the point of any demo ........ try before you buy.
Were hoping for a looksee at a Strip Till machine for maize but we'd finished before it was available. Always next year
