Massey is used around the world, but suffers a bit from a very checkered corporate past - we never know who 'really' mmade it, where the deal is, or who supplies parts.... Landini would be worth about scrap iron 'here' in the midwest, where no one has heard of such a thing, and you would have a real hard time reselling it. That may not be the case where you are located. I'm partial to Blue and would check those out, but without a dealer you might not have any around. It sounds like you need a heavy tractor sometimes, and a lighter one other times. Comprimises must be made, sounds like you are on the right track in your research. If you are looking at new, you might be able to get 2 good used for near the same price. Just a thought - breakdowns happen a bit more often with used, but you have 2 to choose from to get the day's work done, and can have a larger & smaller for the different jobs. --->Paul Follow Ups: Post A Followup Name: E-Mail: Subject: Re: Re: Re: Re: What tractor should I purchase?
