Looking at a 3690 MF with MFWD from a farmer a short distance from us. Dont know a thing about this model. Can anybody shed any light on these pro or con? Thanks!

I bought a MF 3650 in 1990 new. Still have it. I compared it to a Magnum at that time. The Mf was $20K less and I liked the shuttle transmission on the MF better when going from forward to reverse. The Massey is very nice to operate, everyone that has drove it tells me that. The 3650 was Masseys first series loaded with electronics, great when they all work. The 3690 is Masseys 2nd generation with all the electronics, I'm not sure of the difference between the first generation if much? The Massey cost me less than the Magnum and resale today is also less.

Forgot to mention The 3690 has a Valment turbo engine which hold up well ive been told.

They are pretty good tractors very reasonably priced for the size of them, only things I would watch out for is they are known to have a bit of light rear ends in them, that being said as long as it wasn't abused or the fuel pump isn't turned up it should be fine.
