Massey Ferguson 233 to 293 – the 200 series under the register entry Landini Massey Ferguson: three- and four-cylinder diesels, 28 to 59 kW, 2,250 to 2,805 kg unladen weight
The MF 233, MF 263, MF 283 and MF 293 belong to the Massey Ferguson 200 series. The register groups them here under the name Landini Massey Ferguson, a label going back to the sales era in which Massey Ferguson tractors were marketed through the Landini dealer network. The three-digit type code of the 200 series orders it by power class; the four models listed here sit in the mid to upper power step and carry three- and four-cylinder diesel engines.

The register lists 4 versions with 28 to 59 kW from three- and four-cylinders of 2,502 to 4,065 cm³. Unladen weights range from 2,250 to 2,805 kg, lengths from 3,520 to 3,730 mm and heights from 2,180 to 2,370 mm at rated speeds of 2,150 to 2,250 rpm; all four models run diesel engines.
The 200 series was among Europe's best-selling mid-range tractors in the 1990s and early 2000s and was additionally built under licence in several countries, which keeps parts and knowledge of the range widely available today. In farming practice it filled the gap between compact yard tractors and the big field tractors of the 3000 and 6100 series.
On used examples of the 200 series, engine and clutch condition, cab and hydraulic connections, rust on mudguards and steering knuckles and PTO function count; parts run through the AGCO network and the open farm-machinery trade.

What to check before buying
- Check the hour meter against the service records — a replaced instrument is the most common gap.
- Compare the data plate and chassis number with the papers.
- Check the weights in the papers against the figures here — attachments change them.
- Check front and rear tyre sizes: mismatched pairs strain the drivetrain.
- Shift the gearbox cold and warm — jumps only show up at temperature.
- Load the hydraulics and watch for sag.
- Ask about parts availability for this build year — the running costs hang on it.
