[QUOTE="OklaBrangusBreeder, post: 424508, member: 2672"] (I also have a Farmtrac 80 and my family have been Long product owners for more then 20 years). Farmtrac used to be Long until Escort of India bought controlling interest in Long a few years back. At that point, they rebranded everything as Farmtrac going forward. Farmtrac has several lines of tractors. Briefly: - The "Compact" series of smaller compact tractors (27-39HP)are made in Korea. They are identical to the "Montana" brand tractors and are also I believe identical to the cab tractors offered by Mahindra. - The "5 series" and "6 series" Farmtrac models (35-72HP) are the ones made by Escort in India. The are the ones who have the old "Ford" look. Escort produced the old Ford 3000 and later models in India. These Farmtracs are very much the "old Fords" from about the time Ford became New Holland. - The "7 Series" tractors (75-114HP) are Eurpoean SAME tractors produced under a North American license agreement for Farmtrac. - The new "8 Series" appears to me to be the "6 Series" with a new hood and Cab. But I'm not sure about that. - Some of the old original Long tractors were made in an Eastern European country, Romania I believe. Those tractors are no longer sold under the Farmtrac brand. I did notice that Montana appears to offer those older "Universal" models painted green now. I've never said that a Farmtrac is a good choice compared to a John Deere or similar brands. But compared to some of the "off" brands that was mentioned in the original post of this thread, I do think Farmtrac is a comparable product that provides great value for the price. [/QUOTE]
