MF gained a few large farmers around here 15 years ago. Then about 3-4 years ago they have lost all of them but one. I asked a couple of them why and it was to do with how MF changed the cab suspension and the transmission. They all loved the MF 8470 and 8670. Then they traded them in on the newer models and hated how they rode. I can not remember the new model numbers. The owner says in the right filed conditions they would make you almost get motion sickness. The transmission issue was default codes like crazy making the tractors go into "Come home" mode. Dealer would come out and "flash" the controller and they would be good for another day or two. The one guy said the dealership loaned him one of their computers and show him how to flash it so he could keep going during planting.
They all liked the local dealership but all the ones that switched stated AGCO was terrible to deal with on recurring warranty issues that where out of the dealership's control. So the majority of them got rid of them before the tractors went out of warranty.
Two of them went and found MF 8470s used that had fewer hours then the ones they traded off. One had JD for his "big" horse and another went to CNH. The one common theme is they all love the SISU motor and the local dealership and universally hate how AGCO treated them at the Corporate level.
