The Massey Ferguson 88 is a powerful and reliable standard-tread tractor, built for large-scale agricultural tasks. Designed with durability in mind, it was produced from 1959 to 1962 in Detroit, Michigan, USA. This Western-style variant of the MF85 is well-regarded for its fixed-tread axle, live PTO, and robust diesel engine options. Although often overshadowed by newer models, the MF88 still holds value for farmers and exporters looking for classic performance and reliability.
At EVERY FARM TRACTOR, we proudly offer global buyers the opportunity to export this model to over 100 countries. Whether you’re restoring classic tractors or using them in active operations, the MF88 remains a reliable choice.
