"Should I buy new, or is used the smarter move?" It's one of the most common questions we get, and there's no single right answer to it. You'd think one option would just be obviously better. It isn't. For anyone looking at small MF tractors, both new and used can genuinely do the job, just with different trade-offs attached. It comes down to what you're using the tractor for, how much certainty you want going in, and what you're comfortable spending upfront. New Tractors Come With Certainty Buy new, and you know exactly what you're getting. Zero hours, current specs,...

"How much does a compact tractor cost?" It's usually the first thing people ask, before we've even talked about what they'll be using it for. Massey Ferguson compact tractors cover a fairly wide range once you factor in horsepower, cab, hydraulics, and attachments. As a general guide, entry-level models with a loader package start from around the high $20,000s, and as horsepower and features go up, that number climbs into the $40,000s and beyond.  Where you land depends on a few things.

Buying a tractor is one of those decisions that stays with you for a long time. Get it right, and it becomes one of the most relied-on machines on the property. Get it wrong, and you'll feel it every single day.

Start With the Work, Not the Machine Most people start by...

A tractor doesn't do much on its own. What it's carrying, front or back, is usually what decides how much work actually gets done on a given day. You could be running one of the best Massey Ferguson tractors on the property and still feel like you're not getting enough out of it. Not because the tractor's lacking. Because the attachment isn't pulling its weight. Most farmers don't upgrade the tractor first. They sort out the attachments. That's usually where the bigger difference shows up. The tractor gets you there. The attachment gets the job done. Loaders Do More Than...

Small farms don't have the luxury of space that bigger operations do. Tighter sheds, narrower laneways, smaller yards, and paddocks that don't leave much room to manoeuvre a large machine. On a property like that, size becomes one of the most important things a tractor needs to get right. That's exactly where small MF tractors have carved out their place. They're not just smaller versions of bigger machines. They're built specifically to handle daily work in spaces where a full-size tractor simply doesn't belong. They Fit Where Big Tractors Can't People often assume compact tractors exist purely because the jobs...
