Only once in my lifetime did I throw anyone off of my property, telling them that they were no longer welcome. This was folks from my local MF dealer, about three or four years ago.
I bought a new MF tractor in 2007 and another new one in 2013.
I had multiple issues with both. Some of these issues were resolved under warranty but the most serious turned out to be recurring issues that required repair of the same thing more than once. The dealer would repair such issues until the 2 year/2000 hour warranties expired on lapsed time (240 hours on the first about 95 yours on the second), but thereafter washed his hands of me even though several issues had already been "fixed" once or more in the past before the warranties expired. This is a very long and frustrating story and I will not air this laundry again here.
By comparison, I bought a new small Kubota in 1994. In the 24 years that I have owned this tractor it has needed nothing. NOTHING, not so much as a fuse, light bulb or fan belt. NOTHING. Yes, it is not abused, gets good maintenance, and is kept inside. The same wss true of the MFs.
After the last straw, I dumped both very low houred MFs and replaced them with Kubotas within months.
I now own four Kubotas and plan to buy a fifth this week.
There is no going back and I will have nothing to do with MF/AGCO again. Nor will anyone that I can influence.

Today's Featured Article - Tractor Hydraulics - The Basics - by Curtis Von Fange. Hydraulics was one of the greatest inventions for helping man compound the work he can do. It’s amazing how a little floor jack can lift tons and tons of weight with just the flick of a handle. What’s even more amazing is that all the principals of hydraulic theory can be wrapped up in such a small package. This same package applies to any hydraulic system from the largest bulldozer to the oldest and smallest tractor. This short series will take a look at the basic layout of a simple hydraul
