I would like to start by thanking Birdhunter for the link to the tractordata website. With that said, Im just curious about hp ratings. On a previous post a fella is asking about pricing info on a MF 1260. Looking that tractor spec up I find that they are getting 38 engine hp out of a 91 cu in engine. My MF 1040 has a 121 cu in engine with 32 engine hp and 28 pto hp. Obviously the 1260 is a newer tractor and more effecient but that seemed like a pretty dramatic hp hike. Also was curious to see the 3pt lift capacity is 200 lbs less on my machine compared to the 1260, even though my tractor is heavier. Im in no way knocking the 1260, as I love my little MF 1040, and have been known to wear my Massey hat brush hogging my fields in the summer. Just curious about what some of the other older Massey owners think. Thankl!
