never thought aboot mf! that era would be 390t and 399? 7810 would most likely be the dearest to buy to start with though!None of them, none say Massey Ferguson on the side of the bonnet
In all seriousness it depends far more on price and how much work it needs
I would probably say 7810, them fords are simple, parts are plentiful and not dear
I don't think a 7810 would be any dearer, or cheaper than the othersnever thought aboot mf! that era would be 390t and 399? 7810 would most likely be the dearest to buy to start with though!
WW3nah got toonie family coming the morn need something to entertain meOh dear Joe, what have you started on Christmas Eve?
Massey 399 would be a good choice for the ploughing, real good hydraulics in themww3nah got toonie family coming the morn need something to entertain me
hmm i dont know anything about them!dads good friend with the MF dealer though! Dads never mentioned them,ill see what he says!As much as i can sway him and even though i'll be driving it most,im only paying 1/3 and him 2/3 so his say is finalMassey 399 would be a good choice for the ploughing, real good hydraulics in them
Yes a proper tractorMassey 399 would be a good choice for the ploughing, real good hydraulics in them
We had a 399, gears between legs. Was a good tractor, hardly needed to fuel it, just ran on air but a 7810 would be a far better workhorsehmm i dont know anything about them!dads good friend with the MF dealer though!

What will a 7810 do that a 399 won't?We had a 399, gears between legs. Was a good tractor, hardly needed to fuel it, just ran on air but a 7810 would be a far better workhorse
gears between the legs are a no go not happening nowayfuel use doesn't matter at all wont be doing a lotWe had a 399, gears between legs. Was a good tractor, hardly needed to fuel it, just ran on air but a 7810 would be a far better workhorse
theres no arguing...yetyou got anything better to be doing?pics would be goodHas it really come to this......arguing about which 80's tractor on Christmas eve....
Currently trying to restore my 7810 in an amateurish way. New seat cushions, new exhaust, and re-spraying cab & bonnet.
Pics over the next few days.....maybe.
yes thats a big plus for the deeres and cases,also we have experience with the cases!All 3 are good tractors ford be cheapest to fix John Deere nicest to drive and both it and 956 could be had with 40k
some had that funny one stick thing didnt they?high med and low on it?something to do with a 50p spring cold stop the tractor!@Joe S not all have gears between legs, ours was black and red cab. @multi power we have just found over the years that the blues have suited us the best and have stuck the work better than the rest. We have had Ford, Fiat, NH, MF, IH, Nuffield, JD and out of them the Fords have been the hardiest, best pulling and gripping (fiats and ihcould grip and pull but not as nice to sit in and not as handy). Granda still keeps masseys as they are handiest for his sort of work and I agree with him, for light farm work and hay making, ploughing etc the Massey is well suited
I think a Tff site visit on boxing day to yours would be much better than picsHas it really come to this......arguing about which 80's tractor on Christmas eve....
