Here's why:
* Serial numbers are not consistent across all manufacturers. Different brands and models use their own numbering systems.
* Serial numbers can be affected by production changes. Over the years, a manufacturer might change their numbering system or even reuse serial numbers.
To find the year of your MF35, you'll need to do some additional research:
1. Check your tractor's data plate: Look for a plate attached to the tractor, often near the engine or the steering column. It might list the year of manufacture.
2. Contact Massey Ferguson: Reach out to Massey Ferguson directly. They may have records or resources to help you determine the year based on the serial number.
3. Consult online forums and resources: Massey Ferguson enthusiast forums and online resources may have information about specific serial number ranges and corresponding years.
Good luck!
