Whatever you gota tell yourself to keep believing Massey Ferguson makes the world go 'round. I'd definitely agree with you on the second half of your comment. I find it funny that all the Massey fans think "Massey" has designed everything for AGCO in the last 25 years and is still designing everything. Massey Ferguson became nothing more than a brand under AGCO when they were bought up back in the mid 90's, not a company that is still designing and engineering. AGCO designed the machine.
What’s curious is AGCO never owned the plant that produced European Massey Ferguson combines until 2011. Even more curious, the Germans awarded Massey Ferguson a prize for developing the IDEAL.

John Deere are releasing information on their version of the Big Massey. Even the model number looks derivative https://www.realagriculture.com/2019/11/john-deere-unveils-the-x9-twin-rotor-combine/
Probably totally different then the ideas l under its skin, it should be interesting? .

It's not all that different from what I can see from the bits of info coming out. It's just another bigger twin rotor combine. Like Massey Ideal it uses 2 full size rotors. Shaker pan, sieves, rethresher, chopper. 600 hp class 10, so technically bigger than the Ideal. But it's a bit better looking than the Ideal. Still angular lines but not quite as ugly. And I'm guessing around $1m. Insane.

Both the Ideal 10 and Claas 8900 use a 790 hp Man engine.
The IDEAL 10 is planned be steered by a left hand joystick, at least in Europe. Apparently orders will be accepted after July 2020 for the 2021 model combines.

Looks like they are taking some notes off the Tribine
What I like about Deere's approach is that they have not reinvented their entire offering. I kinda wished Agco would have done the same, I like the Massey 9500 series. Even more insulting is that in our area, the Ideal will not even be available. I might be wrong but I think they will only have a handful of dealers selling the Ideal in western Canada.

The closest Agriterra location for me is Weyburn which might make them my closest Ideal dealer. I think the stores they took over were established MF dealers, so I wonder what their customer base is thinking about all these changes from Agco? New owner, with changing brands, I can only imagine that it is challenging for them. Its seems like a big experiment in Marketing to me. Are they trying to sell the Ideal or have they been selling Massey?
Agriterra doesn't know what they want to sell. Agco really f-d up when they gave the former Rocky Mountain Eq. partner and now Finning basically a free hand to do what they wanted in AB and SK. In reality between Agriterra and Pentagon in my part of the world Agco is in real trouble.
