New Arrival - MF 1635

WilliamBos · Nov 27, 2009

We received our new tractor today, an MF 1635 12x12 Powershuttle and RF 500 rear finish mower.

We traded our 1523/MMM, and our beloved MF 35.

This tractor is soooo quiet, compared to the 1523, and has a nice deep throaty sound to it also. Love the Powershuttle, and all the choices of deep gears to choose from. Did not want hydro this time, and do not think we will regret it.

New tractor smell rules!!

Forgot to mention the service at D&S Downham in Bradford was top notch all the way!!

They are amazing to do business with. May go test drive an MT975B once they get the Challenger line.

Nice!!! So I guess we will never see the homemade cab then for the 1523

No, the completion was halted, but it was traded with the roof that we built. Maybe the new owner will finish it.

VERY nice! A man with taste in trucks and tractors.

Is it Iseki?

Yes Sir, it sure is.

Still Iseki built, and shipped over here. Not sure on or if there are any changes in the cab from yours, because I did not actually get a chance to see the 1500 series cab models.

But it sure is nice, and even tried out the RFM in a long pile of leaves today, love the rear discharge.

Nice tractor........I wonder how Iseki got more hp from the 1635 over the 1533? Must have more cubes? Or did they use a completely different engine?
Congrats

Probably just a pump tweak for more fuel delivery. I have the latest version of the AGCO Challengers made by Iseki (The "B" series). It has a few more HP than its' predecessor when it was distributed by Caterpillar.

Nice, I don't come on here in a few days and you've upgraded already. I guess you won't have to take all that time builing that cab, that's a good way to justify it.

Congratulations on a fine looking machine. After almost buying a Massey myself I'm sure you'll be happy. As for the cab, there is a difference between the 1500 series and the 1600 series. The controls are placed in slightly different locations and I believe the cab iteslf is actually a bit larger. The 1600 gave an impression of more "roominess" for lack of a better term but both models seemed like very nice tractors to me.
