Massey 471 vs 573 vs 2660HD

I did't get a response my earlier thread so going to try again. What are the differences to these tractors? Should I be scared of any of them? Trying to decide which way to go.

Thank you,

The primary difference between the 471 and 573 is in the hydraulic system and some minor operator improvements. The 2660HD is a fancier version of the 573. Same basic tractor with a better layout, tilt hood and other creature comforts. I wish I could remember what the exact issue issue was on the 471 but I don't - I can tell you on the 471 that you want the "Phase 2" tractors which had a hydraulic system similar to the MF300 Series. Phase 2 cut in at s/n BP02006 on tractors with IPTO and at s/n BP14077 on tractors with Live PTO. Pretty sure there is a service bulletin on it somewhere that helps you identify the difference. I wouldn't be afraid of any of them, but the 2600HD with a mechanical shuttle is the better of the 3 in my opinion.
