Does anyone have experience with these? Neighbor is looking at a very nice used one that is cheap. I told him that they looked like a rebadged Krone. Are they actually a Krone. How does it compare to a Claas? I have a Claas and am very well pleased with it and my neighbor wondered how it would...

I was at the Sunbelt Expo this week and was talking to the factory rep about these balers. From what I understood they are the same balers except the 130 has some options not on the 125. I could do without the wider pickup and the electric tie but I would not want one without the bale kicker...

Stopped by the Massey dealer to visit this morning and he had one of these in. I drove it around the yard. It is a very nice tractor. It is very obvious that the quality control is much better than the 400 series. All the controls operate very smoothly, the clutch requires only a fraction of the...

A friend of mine is looking at small round balers. Does anyone have any experience with the Krone fixed chamber balers? We have not had a dealer in our area until the last couple of years so no one nearby has one. The dealer say that everyone that has bought one likes them really well, what else...

I have seen some parts prices that I have thought were out of line but today I saw the worst yet. I was at the local Massey dealer and a guy came in with a power steering hose that was maybe three feet long with metal fittings at both ends. One end had a metal line about a foot long. I would...

I think that Agco needs to streamline some of the lines that they sell. My neighbor,who is a Massey dealer, has told me about some of these plans. I think that the Hesston name will be mostly dropped and the Hesston will be called Massey Ferguson. I think that the New Idea and White brands will...

I am looking at purchasing one of these in the near future. I would appreciate any experiences anyone has had with them or any opinions about them. Is there any appreciable difference in power in the 5202 over the 5103? I could get by with either but was just wondering about your experiences...

A friend of mine was showing me an advertisement in a magazine for a landini dealer and the ad states that the Landini 60 series tractors have 95 % parts interchange with the Massey Ferguson 451 to 481 tractors. I wonder if the Masseys are rebadged Landinis? These days who knows who builds what!

I agree with you, I would not be happy if I found out that I had bought a tractor and paid more and did not get the ten extra horsepower that was advertised. I do know that some tractors are underrated more than others are. From what I have seen you will always get what you were promised but...

I have a question for the Massey dealer,Tractorracer17 I think.Have you sold many 481's? None of the dealers in this area have sold any. They say they sell a lot of 471's and some 491's and 492's but just don't sell the 481's for some reason. They seem to think that most people don't want to pay...

I have been looking to replace an older tractor for my small hay operation. I have never owned a Massey and we haven"t had a Massey dealer close by till now. I stopped by the other day and was very impressed by the dealer and was looking at the 471 and 451. They appear to be very heavy tractors...
