[AT] Tractor deals

[charliehill]

If I was in that market I'd also look at the MF line.(Massey sells more 
tractors than anyone in the world I believe).  MF belongs to AGCO now and I 
believe you can buy the same compact tractors (or maybe from another source) 
with the AGCO badge on them.

There is  a turf farmer in my neighborhood that has a New Holland that the 
cab is nearly as big as the tractor.  It looks about the size of a 4000 Ford 
but that thing has 90 some odd HP and they pull a big mower with it.
