"I just bought a Massey Ferguson 245 and a 5' volunteer bush hog and put them to use on a couple of fields that haven't been touched in probably 2 yrs. I really wasn't sure how they would do, but the two of them worked together flawlessly and the fields look great now. I'd heard good things about the Massey and so far everyone's right, it's a great tractor. I'd never heard of the volunteer bush hog and couldn't find much info about them so I was a little concerned about it, but so far it's really doing good. It cuts great and runs quite and I couldn't ask for a better cutter."

REVIEWER'S ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Pros: Runs and cuts great. Cons: Massey breaks could be a little better. Type of User: Homeowner 1-10 Acres Location: USA AL I also considered buying:

"New tractor to us. Came with a Massey 232 loader. Seems to have the usual Massey/Perkins issues (leaks oil like a sieve). Otherwise seems to be solid and strong. Starts on the first or second crank. Relatively well maintained---new paint, clutch, and a few other parts. No complaints so far. Will update over time as we get a few more hours on her. "

REVIEWER'S ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Pros: Solid strong efficient no-frills machine with good support. Cons: It's old, so there are always going to ongoing maintenance issues. Type of User: Homeowner 10-50 Acres Location: USA WA I also considered buying:

"Good little tractor. Does everything I ever ask of it. No major repairs ever needed. For the age it has only had to have a gasket replaced, oil pump and a solonoid replaced through the last 5 years."

REVIEWER'S ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Pros: Reliability. Cons: Parts harder to find due to age. Type of User: Homeowner 10-50 Acres Location: USA SC I also considered buying:

"I bought my Massey Ferguson from a friend of mine who made me a great deal. It's been a very reliable tractor. About the only problem I've had was the fuel pump going out. It drained all the fuel down into the crankcase. Luckily I noticed it before any damage was done. Got that repaired and the only other issue was the water pump going out. I replaced that myself and it's been running well ever since."

REVIEWER'S ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Pros: Well built. Cons: None to speak of. Type of User: Homeowner 10-50 Acres Location: USA TX I also considered buying: Kubota L3250, Montana 3840

"I bought this tractor to support my needs for my 8.5 acre property. Use it for mowing 2 acres. Been very reliable. Recently (04/2012) replaced the diesel injector pump with a new aftermarket, because it was leaking badly. The job was not as bad as I suspected. Tractor runs great. However, now I have my power steering cylinder line leaking. I will have some new ones made locally to replace them. Other than that so far it's been a great tractor."

REVIEWER'S ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Pros: Plenty of power, strong tractor, runs great. Cons: Old. Will need things replaced as time goes on. Type of User: Homeowner 1-10 Acres Location: USA TX I also considered buying:

"I am a farm boy at heart--born and raised on 196 acre farm in south Texas. My dad raised 15 kids on this farm (peanuts and cotton). We all learned to operate and work on our own equipment. I am glad I found this site of like-minded people so I and receive help from others. I bought this MF 20C and my 4 sons have a ball fixing the small problems it has."

Pros: It's a good tractor, just set for a while. Cons: Needs more weight on rear axle. Type of User: Homeowner 1-10 Acres Location: USA TX I also considered buying:
