Not many on here with more then 60 HP in any brand and very few with 100 HP+

Not a big deal, but it would be nice if the AGCO brands farmers all over the country use were more represented here.
Challenger, Fendt and Valtra have no representation on TBN

Kubota I believe is the most talked about brand on here but you never hear about their M8 which is only half the size of the behemoths AGCO makes.

AGCO and Deere are the only two American owned [farm] tractor company's left.

I do like my AGCO tractors; mine have been good to me.

Agree, but I was just thinking this is “Tractor By Net”, not “Kubota Tractor by Net” or “Small Tractor by Net”.
Maybe if more of the bigger brands had more representation, they could get a more broad range of tractor owners?

Fendt, Challenger and Valtra are 3 of AGCO’s 4 tractor brands.
Only one (Massey Ferguson) has a presence here, yet AGCO is one of the only 2 American tractor companies left and is a HUGE player in the tractor world.

But we have a “Ventrac” forum

AGCO does have some nice tractors and it would be nice to see more representation of the bigger tractors on here.
But, there are very few farm or even farm related posters on here.
It is mostly small acreage owners with smaller tractors.

That said sitting here thinking about and remembering when Fiat bought into Allis Chalmers (the good Orange) and then eneded
up getting out of it because they couldn't bid on any government contracts being foreign owned at the time.
And then I'm partial to Red from the Farmall days so now it's CIH even though they are owned by Fiat now.

Is Valtra available in the US? Great tractors as well. Those are almost everywhere here, mostly on logging applications pulling a log trailer with a log crane. Probably due to the reversible platform.

1st off, congrats. I'll never need anything that big for myself,but it reminds me of the big IH stuff dad used to sell.

I think we definitely need to rework the specific brand forums. Cub Cadet and RK have their own sections, but CaseIH and TYM are grouped with the 'other' tractors.

Manufacturers should have their groups. Fiat stuff should be in one big heading as should the Agco. Subheadings for major brands. TYM group should be up there with Branson as a subheading. Hasn't been a new Ford tractor in over 20 years. New Holland will do.

Another grouping for 'store brands' like RK and Montana.

Attachments needs to be a standalone category with sub headings by brand and/or type.

Either have a section for vintage tractors or leave them under the manufacture. JD has its own Vintage section?

Valtra tractors are available in the US, but there's not a huge number of dealers around, AGCO has focused on Massey here in the states.

Does anyone know what models or series of tractors are assembled in the Jackson, MN assembly plant? Pretty sure the tracked challengers are but what wheeled models?

ARound here you see Fendt, Challenger, Massey, Allis, White, Gleaner combines.

And Fendt. Big time. My dealer has more Fendts going out their driveway than Masseys.

I really don’t know of a much better tractor than a Fendt with a MANN diesel engine.
A step down, but still very very good is a Massey with a SISU diesel.
