MF Year Identification Help Needed

[Dreyenn]

Massey Ferguson
Mod# MF1428VH
SER# N-R1207

Hey all, just bought this MF 1428 compact tractor and I can't nail down the year of manufacture. TractorData.com only says it's between 2002 - 2005, but doesn't break it down by serial number. Other sites just don't list this model, so I'm hitting dead ends. I searched this forum and went cross eyed but did try suggested sites. If anyone can help it would be most appreciated.

Thank you,
Dreyenn

Welcome to TBN! Just curious, why do you need to know the year? With a 3 year production run, there are no real differences.

Thank you. You're correct the year doesn't matter that much, just a new tractor, my first, and I thought it nice to know maybe for parts but if you don't think it important then I won't either.

Thanks,

We love tractor pictures. Can you post a few pictures of the complete tractor, from different angles ?

Massey Ferguson tractors are very hard to pin down for year and in some cases, even model on older tractors. I know it would be nice to know the year, but unlike cars, tractors in general don't change much in production.
