flaboy will know about 'em.

How can I pass up an invite like that? :lol:

Yeah, I have four Massey's. I love them all. Easy to get parts for almost anywhere although they don't need them very often. When you say medium size, what are you looking for?
 
Here's my Massey cost $2200 what a deal.

My New Holland TL100A is a piece. 382 hours on it and my latest problem is the powersteering is acting up. Eleven months left on the warranty and then I'm getting rid of it. I'm a 3rd generation Ford/New Holland owner and seriously thinking about going green. New Holland still has great hay equipment, but their tractors sure have gone down hill since my grandfather bought his Ford 8N. I'm rebuilding the 8N's engine and giving it a new coat of paint. Looking forward to seeing it in the hay field next year for it's 52nd hay season.

Is that what they call a compact tractor in Florida?

Trust me I could stick it. :shock: I have stuck everything I have. I can't imagine what it would take to pull that sucker out of my blue clay mud.

Friend of mine has an excavating business and while it was too wet to do much, he diceded to disk one of his fields, got stuck past the axles. Used a Big Oliver. Tried his grader, took his 2 cats to get that out. After a week of dry weather it took both cats, the grader and several F350 4wds to get the tractor out.

Ok, here's a picture of my lawn mower.
The Cougar, spreads five high-speed "Disco" mowers across a 45-ft. swath. And it will run those mowers across a field of hay at working speeds up to 13 mph on big, compaction-reducing floater tires. Top transport speed on the road is 25 mph. All five mowing units fold automatically for a transport width of just 10 ft. The comfortable cab rotates 180° for transport so the mowing units are behind the operator.

A 480-hp, 12-l DamlierChrysler engine.
