Wolfy: The first I ever heard of 26 series tractors is being sold across Europe a full two years before they were in the Canadian buyers guide at least. I'm not sure when they appeared in the US buyers guide as the Canadian and US guides were different. No question the chassis was very American, but the whole tractor had a few transplants, mainly engine. Anyone who has ever operated a Farmall equiped with that German built 358 know they don't hold a candle to the American built 360, and a sick joke along side an 806 or 856. I have operated a few examples of each in my day, and while the 358 may have fuel economy and endurance, it doesn't cut it on hp and torque. Clearly these became just what they were, cheap competition for Deere, nothing more. As for the 624, 724 and 824, German designed and built. They called them Agrimatic S, here in Canada we called them Agrivation, at 5 years of age most of them could be seen at the Deere dealers used lot. We saw a lot of European designed equipment, all makes, here in Canada, starting in the late 60s as those egg head political leaders we had decided it was more important to trade in Europe than the US and then went on to change Canada to the metric system. I could go on and on about than one, but it's clearly more than just a tractor issue.

It is also very apparent that these folks are getting a lot of very poor and often very dangerous advice fro
