AGCO or MF tractor?

2xrph · Sep 8, 2006

I have read quite a few posts about MF CUTS and was impressed. MF does not have a dealer near me(over 60 miles) That dealers wed site list AGCO tractors in addition to MF. The AGCO website lists a lot of dealers near me. I have also read on this forum that AGCO owns MF. Are they the same tractors? Does anyone have any experience with AGCO? I am looking for an approx. 35HP tractor with FEL, BH with HST. Thanks for the help

The compacts are the same to the best of my knowledge, there may be some minor differences that I'm not aware of though.

Also look for a Cat Challenger dealer, they are the same tractors as well.

There are some differences, I believe the Cat's have a higher hydraulic gpm flow but I may have been looking more at the utility line (55-70 hp) than there actual compact line.

Yes they are the same. The MF, CAT, and AGCO cuts are all made by Iseki in Japan and are virtually identical with some minor sheet metal changes etc. AGCO (Allis Gleaner Company) is the decendent of Allis Chalmers and now own about twenty ag companies including the popular Heston brand of hay balers. Any Challenger sries tractor is also owned by AGCo and are marketed thru Catepillar which is not part of AGCO.
