Why is this man so happy?
He lust bought a fishing boat with the money he
saved on his new M -F 300 Series Tractor,
Could be. You see, these 45 to 85 PTO horsepower'
tractors aren't loaded down with unnecessary Acces-
sories that drive the price up without adding to pro-
ductivity.
Plus there are Massey -Ferguson financing plans,
Service Shield extended warranty and MF Club dis-
counts that drive costs even lower You can't find a
better value anywhere.
He finally found a tractor his wife will drive.
We're not surprised. After all, hydrostatic power
steering is standard. Most models feature easy -
shifting synchromesh transmissions with 12 speeds.
And the optional tight -turning 4 -wheel drive makes
almost any field seem level and dry.
He was able to do more of the servicing himself.
All M -F 300 Series tractors were designed to require
less maintenance. Plus all filters, pumps and service
points are easy to get to.

MASSEY—FERGUSON
Of course, if he ever does need parts of dealer servic-
ing, there are none better trained and supported than
M -F dealers.
His old straw hat tickles.
That's why he should be wearing an M -F cap.
