Well, there might be a Ford patch on that tractor, but it´s basically a Massey Ferguson hiding underneath the hull...and I really learned to hate MFs when I was an apprentice since the riding club I was working in only had those "M other F uck, call the mechanic!" tractors.

Ask any German farmer what MF stands for and he will tell you it stands for "mechanics friendly" , saving the mechanics´ jobs for decades...

That would be truly funny if the Massey Ferguson and the Fendt weren't made in the same factory. Both are AGCO products and as such differ only in paint color and other decorations.
You will find at least some MF in almost every tractor made because the technical name for the universal three point lift system used by everyone is "the Ferguson System".
