Massey Ferguson is one of the oldest tractor brands in the world which has been manufacturing tractors since the 1940’s. Massey Ferguson tractors carry a serial number that denotes the model number, the chassis size, distinguishing features, and the year in which the tractor was built.
Users can find the exact model number, the year in which the tractor was built, the chassis size, and other features of their tractor by reading the serial number thoroughly. Matching the serial number to the table which shows the manufacturing year will help the user to find out the year in which the tractor was built.
