It's a knockoff of a MF made overseas. Don't remember what country. One's I've have seen sell don't bring very much. No one seems to want them.

TAFE = Tractors & Farm Equipment Limited, India.
They claim to build M-F tractors under license in India? That tractor in the Craigslist advert looks very "Massey Ferguson".
It looks a reasonable tractor for the price?
An optimistic statement for a 25 HP tractor? Maybe on a manicured lawn but not through uncut under growth, least wise not the under growth we experience in Australia!

My Brother-in-Law bought a used TAFE about ten years ago from an old man to keep it from being repossessed. It is about the size as the one in the ad. He has never had any major problems with it as far as I know.The main problem is there was not an adequate dealer network and he had to order parts from half way across the country. This may have improved by now, I don't know I haven't talked to him in a couple of years.

India produces some reasonable good vehicles and farm machines.
TATA of India now own Jaguar and LandRover/RangeRover.
And Mahinda, one of the largest vehicle manufacturers by production in India and the largest seller of tractors across the world, license produces the Jeep CJ340, fitted (I think) with a French diesel engine (Renault?), making it a very useful and robust vehicle.
Enfield of India has built Royal Enfield motor cycles in India since 1956, originally under license from the Royal Enfield Cycle Company in the UK. From 1955 to 1959, Royal Enfields were painted red, and marketed in the USA as Indian Motorcycles by the Brockhouse Corporation.
