In Reply to: Massey 271 or Workmaster 55, Decisions, decisions... posted by Lanse on October 26, 2015 at 09:49:00:

Firstly, see my just posted thoughts on your other thread with the MF 2600 series.

The MF271 might be a bit bigger than you want in physical size, but probably a very good old MF design.

I looked at the NH Workmaster 55 prior to buying my JD and IMHO are decent tractors. I think the shuttle shift is standard too. There is a CaseIH version too, so you might save some $$$'s between the two.

Some things I didn't care for with the Workmaster 55 is the variety of parts origin. In other words, the engine is ISM - which I think is Shibaura? Not necessarily a negative.

It's been a while since I've looked at these, but for some reason I think the rear end/transmission is from another tractor and I just don't remember.

But what I'm saying is IMHO, the Workmaster is not necessarily a clean sheet design with New Holland engine, tranny, etc., but I think a lot of parts brought together to make a tractor. Again, not bad - just something to google. The Deere I bought was lower cost out the door, was a design that basically had been around since 1992ish. Parts and service were/are not a long term concern for the JD - IMHO.

Kubota - I think that is a company with their ducks in a row. I was very interested in a Kubota when I bought my JD, but didn't care for the dealer in my neck of the woods. If the Kubota is in good shape, priced right and meets your needs, I would put it at the top of the list.

Just some thoughts.

Good luck,
Bill

Today's Featured Article - Show Coverage: Godfrey, Illinois Country Days - by Cindy Ladage. Except for last fourth of July's Old Gold show in Springfield, Illinois, I don't remember when it was so hot. Nevertheless, the heat didn't keep vendors and visitors alike from enjoying the third annual Country Day's Event. Jane Elliott said the event was originally a one man show. "Barry Seiler, owner of Country Town Farm Supply store used to invite people up to the Johne Deere store. He would give hats and a free meal for everyone that brings a tractor." Elliott said while this ... [Read Article]
