The Pretender

The Internet

Why isn't a tractor built in the factory that's been building Masseys since 1960 not a Massey? IIRC the Dyna 6 'box can date it's DNA back to the original Dynashift and I also believe that there is some 3600 DNA in certainly the last of the 6400's and the 3600's had Valmet engines, so the Sisu, which are just rebranded Valmets, also has some history powering Masseys, if that's important to you. If you parked an example from the 3080 onwards in chronolgical order to the preset day, you would see the similarities in design.

The new tractors are a clean sheet design, the styling does hark back to previous models, but it will obviously be all new just like when any other all new product is launched.

For the record, I always liked Deutz tractors, but never got to drive one. There's an old DX6.05 Commander in the village which always sounds very nice
