Howdy, Well, in a word they are pretty cheap. I haven"t owned or operated one myself but we sell them here at the store. They seem to be mechanically sound but are just cheaply built. We had one 471, I believe, with a cab and the roof had to be replaced at least once; possibly twice due to being cracked by exposure to sun. We also had one that had fuel lines go bad just from sitting on the lot. So, I don"t really have a high opinion of their newer machines. Of course, just about all your imported "American" tractors have the same high quality construction, be they caseih, deere, or massey. The only high quality tractor that I"ve run into here is the kubota tractors we sell. I"m not a fan of japanese tractors but we sell fewer replacement parts for them than any of our other lines we sell. That speaks volumes to me. God bless. --old fashioned farmer
