This British-built tractor sits very tall in the saddle. A high clearance tractor coming from England is more than a little unusual because the market such tractors there in is just about nil. The most likely theory is that the Country conversion were done for an export buyer. Possibly the contract came from MF for a special order from a dealer.
The Country Commercial Cars has been out of business since 1990, so any records are probably long lost.
Consult the books on Massey Ferguson tractors and you will see no high clearance model of the MF165 listed. So what are you looking at here? Well, it’s the real deal but it’s not the factory real deal. It, and a number of others, was converted by County Commercial Cars in England and here’s as much of the story as we know.
