By all means post away. Tractors are far more interesting to me than super cars. Truth.

Also that is not a French brand, it’s a Canadian subsidiary of the American company AGCO.

Massey is French? Never knew that.

That explains their reliability *flamesuit*

MF isn’t a French company, but if I was to buy one here it would come from their factory in Beauvais so from the production point of view it would indeed be French.

See above. Canadian origin, now owned by an American company but if you buy one in Europe it’s made in France.

Got it.

I don’t think there’s a 100% french agricultural tractor company. At least not according to wikipedia.

I thought Valmet was French because of their name, but I just found out they’re Finnish.

The first and only tractor I’ve ever driven was a Massey-Ferguson 231. Used it to bush-hog on my grandfather’s land. I thought it was pretty cool to learn how to drive a tractor at 15 or so.

They’re now part of the Agco juggernaut. And worse for it.

The car making part split and is still Finnish mostly making A classes.
