My New tractor Decision!

zjohnson · Feb 6, 2005

MF 491/4wd/1070 fel/cab - Will take delivery Sat 12th. After an extended search, I made my choice. JD was just greatly overpriced feature for feature. A NH TL90 was 4k more. The Massey is a heavy,basic farm tractor that should serve us for many years. I can't wait to engage the front assist and move some hay with the loader! If anyone is in the market for a upper 70's pto hp utility tractor, I would be happy to share what (little ? /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif) I have learned during my search.

Hi,

Congrats and great choice!! Please post lots of pics for us, especially of the new cab for us too see!! The only ones I have seen are on the MF website, and they could be a little better quality wise!!
Happy safe tractoring!!

I will be looking at getting one shortly, probably a 471 with no cab though. Just asking what did it run you and like Williambros said, more pics of the cab if you could.
I have the same thoughts on teh JD models and the NH I just don't like.

When I picked up my 50 they guy went out town and he wanted to work on it. The day I picked it up it was 60 mph winds but I was bound and stupid enough to make it home with my new toy. /forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif
