My vote goes to the Massey Fergusons. over here we have dairy farmers that don't know what oil is for and their old masseys just keep on going, WITHOUT the engine rebuilds some have mentioned. Rear ends are full of milky oil and the pump still lifts good. When they finally do need repairs the sump oil has to be dug out as it is so dirty it has gelled.Try to get them to change to something fresher.....no way... they tell me to patch it up and it will do another 10 years! I have one MF 590,similar to the 290 that has clocked up nearly 30,000 hrs, that is 3 times round the clock and still doing front line work.This one got oil changes every 250 hrs and still has its original engine, untouched!! This pic is the 590 lifting another tractor, the hyd pump is also the original Ferguson system pump that came in the tractor,combined with the auxillary pump, it has fed silage to 250 cattle since 1976, never mind doing all the chopping from '76 to '85 when we got a 6 cylinder for that job.

In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
