archbarch Posted October 19, 2010 Share Posted October 19, 2010 ive only ever seen one, i think Massey didnt sell many because of the competition from JD and Case IH, i may be wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Posted October 19, 2010 Share Posted October 19, 2010 It was pretty dated when it was launched wasn't it? Just a repainted White or something...? very American and not well suited to European ag...? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MJB1 Posted October 19, 2010 Share Posted October 19, 2010 i think i'm right in saying , it was a David Brown / CASE built backend & gearbox ? cant remember the year it came out ? 1994/5 ? i remember seeing one new at the royal & a friend i was with with said his boss was going to demo one , but i never found out what happend . it was at the time when MF were doing a lot of badge engineering as they also released the megele mamot forager as the massey ferguson 5130 which was also a short lived partnership Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
