Massey Ferguson 2805 24 speed

Bill from Scotland · Jul 16, 2016

Just wondering what your opinions are on the rarity of these big Massey V8 tractors. I know lots of you will have an opinion on how good or otherwise they were or are. What Im wondering is how many would still be around and in particular the 24 speed as I know many have gone to the scrap yard due to the reliabilty problems. My understanding there were around 10,000 or 11,000 made. Do you guys still use them or see them around and are the values stabalised or still cheap? Just interested, I think there may be 3 or 4 in the UK.
Thanks
Bill

brother in law bought 1 that was a year old. didn't work out well. I owned a farm fuel business at the time a couple of my other customers bought them. They wound up trading them for 4 wheel drive Masseys

Don't have a 2805 but a 2745 with the 24 speed, went 6500 hours before it had power shift issues, then the parts for it were only 400 dollars from AGCO. A 2805 would be more for the collectors now days. I kind of want one, even here they are far and few any more.
