Massy Ferguson question on newer ones

I have a 2635 bought new about 2 years ago.

It's a basic, no frills, low tech tractor that I bought for mowing duty.

It's not a Kubota and I have had trouble with it. So far all problems have been repaired under warranty but the warranty is now expired and it is on the list to be replaced by a Kubota.

Multiple.

Electric fuel pump failed and repaired first attempt.

Fuel tank leaked at sending unit when completely filled. Finally seems to be OK after multiple efforts to repair.

After first year of service, lift would not hold load per spec (dropped quickly after turning off engine). Tractor was in shop over two months but SEEMS to be OK now. It seemed to be OK when new as well.

Dealer pre delivery inspection was NOT done though someone checked off everything on check list. I checked most of these things after delivery and found multiple issues that had been checked off but obviously had not been checked.

Other minor issues that do not immediately come to mind.

Tractor now has about 100 hours, most of which have been put on while in dealer's shop.

I have completely lost confidence in MF (and dealer) and will replace it with a Kubota.

Just looking at these tractors they seen to be designed to compete with the low cost segment of the market. It is fine if this is what you want but you found out it is not for you. I was turned off by a visual review of Massey tractors at tractor shows.
 
Forgot a couple.

Engine oil leak at front of engine upon delivery. Very obvious and should have been corrected before delivery. Corrected under warranty.

Multiple coolant leaks at various hose connections. Usually stop upon tightening hose clamps only to return later. Some addressed by dealer, others by myself. Ongoing.

FWA indicator lamp inoperative upon delivery. Repaired myself after discovery while performing pre delivery inspection myself after delivery.
