    What sort of stories did you hear about the mf's? Lots of 5455's around us and they are rated highly but there's also alot of lads with jd's and wouldnt fault them either.

    jesus theres very few people who would not rate the masseys out now. i bet your 390 hardly gave any trouble??

    two neighbours of mine bought MF 5445 both have given alot of trouble not exactly sure what the problems were but the tractors spent more time in a garage than on the farm. will be very sorry to see the 390 leaving, just not enough power in it, great tractor never gave a days bother. looking at both the 6320se and the premium model irish bob, any advise which to go for

    I would be sticking with Masseys, all tractors can give bother and from what i hear from the lads up this way they are great machines the 5455s are a great very refined well built tractor, jds can give plenty bother too and when they do its major dollars to put it right

    the bro has the premium , it has front and rear axle suspension and is a joy to drive , also has what they call power quad plus gear box , he bought it second hand so hadnt to pay the extra ten grand for extras :D

    ps , i dont know how anyone could speak of massey in the same breath as a john deere , IMO , massey stopped being a great tractor around 15 years ago , the brand continues to live on based on passed reputation if you ask me

    the massey 5400 series are not near as reliable as the 4200 series.
    theres no comparison between the 5400 series and the john deere 6020 series especially at the back end.
    take a look at the massey back axle and look at the john deere .
    the last of the good massey fergusons were built in coventry.
