It would be great if tractor model numbers could be used as key terms in a search, and come up so when one searched for 253, 1086 2040 ect. one would not get other numbers like if you search for Massey 253 in the MF forum you get references to the numbers 2/5/3 and nothing on the 253 Tractor.

The search is only as good as the info people put out there.

A MF253 would be way better to find than a MF 253 that has the space between.

I could search for MTxxx models before for Mitsubishi. BUT, the TYM started naming their machine starting with MT. Go figure.

Often people will leave off the prefix letters and just post a number. Downright confusing in a search.

BUT HEY, the search tool never worked well enough to begin with till this last forum upgrade.
