I am trying to decide between a Massey Ferguson 2706E and the Massey Ferguson 1759. 2706E is more of a basic tractor at a significantly lower price. The 2706E doesn't have a DPF compared to the 1759.
One major difference is the main clutch... wet multi-disc for the 1759 and single dry for the more basic 2706E. There are many other differences.
We have a little over 22 acres of pure farm land... I plan to use a two bottom plow, rotary tiller, bush hog, etc... constantly need to get softball to bowling ball sized rocks, which I will pick by hand and put in the bucket.
We grow garlic, pumpkins, and all sorts of veggies... as well as berries.. and we are adding a small orchard.... we have about 100 chickens for eggs.
My other options are the Deere 4066M powershuttle to compete with the MF1759 and the Mahindra 5570 to compete with the MF1759.
The local sales rep for Massey is top notch... extremely responsive and helpful... which has me leaning Massey - but still open minded for another couple of weeks.... then we will make a decision.
Any insights along these lines of tractors will be greatly appreciated.
