Last year, the Massey Ferguson 390/390T was the most popular second-hand tractor registered in Ireland. Even taking into account the changes in road tax legislation late last year which saw many off-radar tractors being registered for the first time, a total of 116 MF 390/390T tractors is quite a figure. This tractor is representative of the MF 300 series’ longevity and popularity among farmers. So, this week we take a look at this icon whose heritage can be traced back to the popular MF 188, or even 165.
