Hello all...
Looking to buy a ~40-50 HP medium sized utility tractor largely for loader work and material handling for my business... my ole' International just isnt cutting it anymore, its not very reliable, can only lift ~1000lbs, and needs a lot of work (hydraulic leaks fixed, etc) that I for the life of me can't find anyone nearby to do and just dont have the time to do myself.
At this point, the time I invest in that thing comes with a higher monetary cost than new equipment.
I've got my eye on the 2600 series of tractor from Massey Ferguson, they're supposedly heavily built, old-school, high value utility tractors but the older ones (~2011ish) had a TON of quality control issues, just the little bit of research I've done has shown everything from powertrane failures to electronic issues and machine-wide oil leaks.
That being said, I've heard that the newer models (~2014+) have had all the bugs worked out and are good to go.
Is this true? Have you guys heard anything about these issues and the possibility of them being fixed?
Either way, what would you say are the highest-value midsize utility tractors on the market today?

While I love straightening sheet metal, cleaning, and painting old tractors, I use every excuse to avoid working on the on the electrics. I find the whole process sheer mystery. I have picked up and attempted to read every auto and farm electrics book with no improvement in the situation. They all seem to start with a chapter entitled "Theory of Electricity". After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
