Massey Ferguson is one of the most widely farmed tractor brands in the UK - and one of the brands where the gap between captive dealer finance and independent finance is most clearly worth understanding. Massey Ferguson Finance, backed by AGCO Finance, delivers below-market rates on new machines. But the constraints are real, and for a significant proportion of MF buyers, the independent market is the only viable route.
