In 1978 Massey Ferguson launched a new 4wd line from the ground up to compete against the big horse power models from Steiger, Versatile, John Deere and Case. The new models offered the largest cabs in the industry and a new power shift transmission. Massey Ferguson released several VHS video tapes to dealers comparing the MF’s against the over big name 4wds. Massey Ferguson even had a country western song to market the big 4wds.
