Av8tr72, The last of Mossroad's last post where the highlighted Draft control and Position control, sums it up in a nut shell. The part about digging holes was a little a little strange but follow what he posted and you won't go wrong

I know it's been a while since you posted and I hope you've got it straightened out. If not continue. From my experience your radiator is still dirty. You can do all the remedies and it will look clean in the outside and it still won't be. In the center of the fins that's very had to see...

Hello there. I hope you have her tractor/loader working by now, if not continue. Sounds the me like you have quick connector that's not seated right. Connectors can look and feel like they are connected and still not let fluid through. On the lines going to the loader, disconnect them and...

If you really want to level 60 acres or even a large portion of it it will be very expensive. It looks like given you said that one contractor wanted $2000 an hour your serious. I have done a lot of leveling over t he e years but this is to much for your tractor or even any light equipment. You...

Red Bellied Snake From this site below. Wish more information was given. Snakes

The 1260 will handle a 4x4 and lighter 4x5. Anything larger you can't lift. This is with the loader.

That is what I was getting ready to say. They usually do but they give it enough time to be sure everything is taken care of.

There is a level that needs to be engaged first. I can't remember is it is to the left of and behind the seat or if it is back by the PTO shaft and to the left. That was about when they went from the seat location to the rear location. Anyway, that lever has to be engaged first. Then when you...

I don't think people will ever learn. Here are a couple of pictures we took with my cell phone. We were on the interstate going about 65 mph when these were taken.

All the compacts are made for AGCO by Iseki in Japan. The utility size are made by AGCO but are Masseys. There are a few that have Cat engines in them for the Challenger line.

Ok, I sent two or maybe three e-mails to the administration about this problem over the last several weeks and never got any kind of response. Here is what is going on. If I click on to the Gallery tab at the top of the page, then click on My Gallery at the top of the next page. It takes me to...

That would be on the big side.

Is this mower a finish mower or a rotary cutter (Bush Hog type)?

I have a fiberglass camper shell cap on my F150. It was on the truck when I bought it, so I don't know what effect it has on mileage. It is level with the top of the cab and it has the sealed pass though to the cab. What I want to know is how does it effect gas mileage? Will the mileage be...

They have Iseki like the Massey and AGCO compacts.

I don't think that we have a member with that exact model. If we do, I don't remember them right off. I have a MF that is a couple of sizes smaller and did have the one right below that one also. Most that have these tractors will be visiting the Massey forum. I have had good luck with both...

The engines and the tractors are made by Iseki, not Yanmar. They are the same compact tractors as the Massey Ferguson and AGCO compacts. They are very good tractors. The reason that you don't see many is because AGCO doesn't seem to push them very much and the Cat dealer network doesn't have...

I wish there was a way to look up the pictures that you have posted. I know there has been more than once where I have posted a picture or diagram and then sometime later the same subject will come up again. Then, I post it again. There is no need to take up space on the servers. If I could only...

In a word, Yes. Did you get any other parts other than hoods?

Just go ahead and use the Permatran III / 821XL in the front axle.

Permatran III / XL (what ever) AGCO calls it. Just ask for Permatran. It's a good high quality hydraulic fluid. I have seen to many tractors have problems with other brands of fluids.

Bare-Co USA now has T&T kits for these brands. I don't know anything about the prices. I do know that they have to be sold through a retailer/dealer. Apparently, you can fill out their form on-line and they will forward it to dealer or that is the way it seems to work. Maybe if someone get a...

JB Hunt died. Here is the story. ArkansasBusiness.com - UPDATED: Don Tyson, Jim Lindsey Honor J.B. Hunt

The answer is both to some extent. Older dealers that have been Ag only, seem to have a very hard time accepting compact tractors. Given the sales volume that compacts have seen in the last few years it doesn't make much sense. Looks like they would be glad to pickup the extra sales, but some...

I thought that was kind of strange after posting it, since it came out of my MF1433 / 1440 shop manual. I thought that there might have been a later print because of the lack of the 1400 series.

AGCO ST30X = MF 1233 AGCO ST30 = MF 1235 AGCO ST40/ST40X = 1260

I haven't ever heard anyone say anything bad about the 821XL / Permatran. I have seen instances where other fluids were used in a tractor and then had to be switch back to Permatran. The systems slowed down, got hotter and made a lot more noise when it was cold until switched back. I have never...

I am glad to hear that. I know that many times a dealer would like to order a piece of equipment for a customer which was made by a AGCO company only to be told that they couldn't because they didn't carry that specific brand at their location. It now sounds like AGCO is setting it up so that a...

Does anyone here have a Yanmar FX-2 or know does anyone know anything about that model? I am looking at one and can't find any information about it.

My photo gallery on TBN doesn't recognize me. Normally if I am logged in on TBN , I don't have to log in on the photo gallery. I am logged in on TBN, but I am not on the photo gallery and I can not log in. Is anyone else having this problem?

I was looking to see how something was made on a certain brand of backhoe a while ago in the photo section. It pertained to a certain model. That is when I noticed that most of the pictures told what was taking place in the photo, but didn't tell the model of tractor or loader etc. There was no...

Massey Ferguson is one of the largest Ag companies in the world. They are one of the big three in Ag equipment. They have never marketed compact tractors the way that they should have. The Challenger is the same tractors and Cat wouldn't be selling them if they weren't up to there level.

Challenger, AGCO and Massey tractors are all the same whether they are made in France, Brazil or Japan. There are some slight differences in the smaller tractor, but not a lot. In the larger sizes, there are different engines and slightly different transmissions.

Muhammad, It would be nice if a link could be placed on the member’s bio page that would take you to their Photo Gallery. Is that something that could be done? I don’t know anything about how any of this stuff runs except that you and your family does a fantastic job Thanks

Wow. Things had been loading really slow for the last day or two on TBN and this morning it was slower than slow. Then nothing. Is everything fixed now?

The closer a manufacture goes in the direction of tapping more horsepower from a engine, the RPM will be turned up more. It most often is used when a few more hp is needed to market a new model. This is a larger cubic inch engine that can turn a slower RPM and still develop the hp currently...

I was at Harbor Freight today. They had sent me a flyer showing Grade 43, 3/8" x 14’ chain with hooks for $16.99. I ask the manager if he had it in grade 70. He told me that the 5/16” x 20’ Grade 70 was the same price. I bought two of them. The sale goes through March 27, if anyone needs some...

I am having a strange issue with the PM system. When someone sends me a PM, I get the notice in my e-mail that it is there. That is the only way that I know that someone has sent one. The icon that use to show up at the top of the page does not show up. The strange part is that when I get a...

<font color="blue"> they should KNOW the tractor business? </font> That is exactly what I am saying.

<font color="blue"> Tractors are engineered for different functions, </font> That part is true, but if a company has been the business for over a 100 years and can't figure out a small little tractor, they need to get out.

Amazing. Just simply amazing. A tractor isn't a tractor.

<font color="blue"> Is it that they are just not marketed as well as the others? </font> That is the largerst problem. Another problem is old time dealers that don't believe in compact tractors and don't want to learn anything about them.

Does any one here have a JD 790 that was made in India? Or has anyone ever seen one that said made in India on it?

If anyone is using the SeaMonkey browser, what are you using for a spell check? I can't find one that will work with it.

Re: New Agco Sub-Compact and \"B\" Versions are out now No matter how much some want the old lines to come back, they are not. At least there is a company that still sells some of their parts. If it wasn't for AGCO, there would only be reproductions and we all know how many and what kinds of...

Re: New Agco Sub-Compact and \"B\" Versions are out now Those are well respected brands on the other side of the pond. We have to remember that it is a world economy now, not just the USA. MF sells more tractors in the rest of the world than they do in the U.S. I am sure that is some of the...

Re: New Agco Sub-Compact and \"B\" Versions are out now The AGCO of today has almost nothing to do with the Allis or with Gleaner of yesterday. There was a few executives from those old companies that had bought the rights and very little else. With about 100K in sales a year they put up their...

Re: New Agco Sub-Compact and \"B\" Versions are out now <font color="blue"> Jerry, what's wrong with the AGCO tractors? </font> There is nothing wrong with the AGCO tractors. The problem is that they have squandered resources that could have been put to better use. The only reason is because...

Re: New Agco Sub-Compact and \"B\" Versions are out now I have to say that I wish AGCO would get their collective acts together. They have spent so much money on this AGCO garbage that could have been put into R&D or something else it is amazing. They are so bent on having a tractor with their...

Check this chainsaw attachment out. I have thought about it a few times over the years. I thought that I would wind up breaking a blade. That is why I haven't tried to make one. Can't see how you could keep from messing up your chainsaw. I would like to see one actually work.

Check out this loooong TG230 from Europe. It sure would take a lot of room to turn it around. We shoot. That didn't work the way that it should have. Go down the page a little ways and click on the NH TG230.

If the Cat tractor fits the bill for what you like and the dealer seems to be good, go for it.

Is Mahindra still using Iseki rear axles, transmissions and dashes?

That doesn't sound like a bad price, although I haven't checked prices for a while. I don't know of any problems on this tractor. I work mine, really work it on a farm everyday and have had zero problems. MF has been selling Iseki since about 1992 or a little before. The MT265B would be...

I have a MF 1440. I like it a lot better than the MF 1250 that I had before. If you have any specific questions feel free to let me know. In most areas, the Cat version is more expensive than the Massey.

Someone tell me if it's just me or there is a problem. For the last few days, TBN has loaded really slow because of the Google adds not loading. I can't pull up the Google search either. No one else has said anything that I have seen. So, Is it my computer or Google? BTW, I have DSL.

If the AGCO dealer told you that he couldn't get the AGCO loader and BH, buy the MF. He is only telling you that so he can make more money.

Even if the price is less, it may not be the best deal if the dealer is non-responsive. You need a good dealer, even if it means going to another brand.

<font color="blue"> The CAT Challenger MT265B appears to be more similar to the MF 1533 than the 1531. </font> The 265 and the 1533 as well has he same or very similar engine, normally the 31s are smaller chassis but I haven't seen a 1531.

<font color="blue"> Jerry- Perkins does have a small compact engine. Do you think that Caterpiller will have that put in their compact tractors? Chuck M.</font> I don't think that they will at any time in the near future. There reason is, because the Challenger compacts as well as the larger...

None of the compacts have Perkins.

If you are talking about the 265, the 265, 1250, ST35 & the ST35X all are listed as having the same engine and as being the same tractor, but the 1433 has the same engine but isn't the same tractor. The 1533 was the replacement for the 1433.

I have lots of information on the larger 1200s and 1400s, but I don't have the crosses to the 15s yet.

You don't know what difference the B makes in MT265B do you? The straight number Cat MT265 was the same as the MF 1250. I know that when Cat first started selling these compacts, they were a series behind MF. In other words, MF had the newest models. I just wonder is the "B" is the same as the...

Not to long ago, Ratliff said that if NH was sold that AGCO would or might be interested in aquiring part of the company, but they don't own any part of NH at this time.

Billy, I don't know where you got your information about AGCO owning NH and CaseIH, but you need to do some more checking. Fiat owns NH and CaseIH.

I have had two MF compacts, a MF1250 and a MF1440. If you have any specific questions, I would be glad to try to answer them.

With all of the talk of late about some members welding, drilling and or otherwise modifying their ROPS, has anyone traded in a tractor to a dealer that has had such a ROPS? I mean one where it is apparent to the dealer that it has been modified?

Not I haven't heard anything bad about them. The only problem that I have heard about was a MF 1140 with a broken side frame don't know all the history about that tractor, so who is to say what had happened to it that may have caused the break.

The MF 1165 and the AGCO ST45 are both made by Iseki. Some of the very early Iseki's had Isuzu motors, but that was before MF started selling them. The MF 1100 and MF 1200 series have both been replaced by the MF 1400 series. The AGCO are also the same as the 1400 series Massey.

I have a friend that is looking at a L3400 and has some questions that I haven't been able to answer. I want to know if these things are available from the dealer as factory. Can you get telescopic end links? Can you get a folding ROPS? What is the seat like? Is it a suspension seat? On the...

Yes, but from what I have seen they are all 1200's. I have spoken to a couple of dealers about it and they seem to believe that it is one of the ways AGCO is trying to keep the Cat some what different from the AGCOs and the Masseys at least as far as the compacts go. They still have a full line...

<font color="blue"> The MF, AGCO, and Challenger are all the same just painted different colors, built by Iseki </font> They are all made by Iseki, but most if not all of the Challengers are the MF 1200 line not the new 1400's series.

In a word "Iseki".

Fluffyone, You might ask the dealer how long he has had the tractor on the lot? About the middle of the year, MF reduced the price of their tractors about $2K. That is about what it amounted to with a loader anyway.

<font color="blue"> Also why is the Agco such an unknown? </font> It is not a very old company, it was started in the 1990's by men from the old Allis Chalmers and International Harvester companies. They was nothing until they bought Massey Ferguson. And now they haven't figured out where there...

Life expectancy of our tractor engines comes up here pretty often. I would like to say that the life of any engine is decreased as the rpm is increased. I am not saying that you are to run 1800 rpm on a engine designed to run 3600 rpm. What I am saying is that, if the rpm is increase to reach a...

Re: AGCO\'s new site is up....... It's strange how some of the old Ag dealers are handling the recent surge in compact sales. It is as though they don't have a clue that the compact sales is the only real growth area in agriculture at this time. When I was shopping back in 1999, the JD dealer...

They are very good tractors. I would place them as the number 2 tractor in the world right after Fendt. The good thing about AGCO acquiring Valtra is that they now have their own engines in house again. It was a bad day when Massey and Perkins was separated.

AGCO has just announced that they are taking over Valtra tractors of Finland, which will includes Sisu engines.

The 1200's are being replace by the 1400 series in the Americas. The 1400's have Iseki all over them.

Woodbeef, Iseki did have their cabs shown on their site. I was under the impression that it was the same cab that was sold in Europe. I could be wrong. I should look at the parts manual for the cab and see if it looks like the ones on the Iseki site. The MF 1250 ~ Iseki TK 532 and the MF 1260 ~...

As far as I know, the only Iseki's that are used by Cat are the compact tractors. That is because of their AGCO orgin.

Like has been said, the MF, AGCO and Cat are almost the same. I just traded off a MF 1250 for a MF 1440. I need a few more hp. They are very good heavy duty compacts. Their prices was dropped as of February. At least the MF were. The AGCO ST35 is the MF 1433 and the AGCO ST40 is the MF 1440. The...

Does anyone here have factory remotes on their MF, AGCO or Cat compact? My dealer didn't plan ahead very well on the mounting of my remotes. If you do, could you post a picture of the coupler mount on the back of the tractor?

They have finely got started putting my new MF 1440 together. This is the middle of hay season here and I thought that I would have to wait for a while longer to get it started. It may take a week or so to finish because of stopping to work on hay equipment.

All of the newer ones have tilt hoods except the 55 hp. The regular ones now have pin adjustment for the 3 point, the value models have turnbuckles still. Massey, Agco and Cat all has both model, the standard and the value. There are several things that you give up to get the value models but...

Like has been said, I think that cosmetics is the only thing different between the AGCO and MF. They are a very good compact. I am getting ready to buy another one. You might want to check with some more MF dealers because about two months ago, there was a price decrease.

I saw this by the road the other day and had to stop and take a picture. It is a Interational pick-up truck hood. Sorry, it was starting to get dark when I got there.

The entire tractor is built by Iseki in Japan. The same goes for the AGCO and MF compacts.
