Massey Ferguson 1526 photos

windcatcher · Jul 8, 2015

Good morning folks.

I was asked to post some photos of the Massey Ferguson 1526 I stumbled upon just before the Fourth of July. I apologize I do not have a whole lot of photos as I was originally looking at a MF GC1715 tractor to begin with.

It never dawned on me to take more photos of the 1526. My bad.

Hope you enjoy what few I have anyway.

Nice looking tractor.
Did you find the tractor you were looking for?

I'm working on a deal with this same dealer for a GC1715. I wish I could get both a GC1715 and this 1526. But, budget concerns dictate otherwise. sniff, sniff.

Thanks for the pics. My bet is that although this is a new tractor, it's not newly built, meaning old unsold stock. The L90 is the loader they originally came with, it's not a new design from the Alo industries. Never was a huge fan of the valve placement, but its better than the JD 2 series where the connection stick out from under the right side floorboard just waiting to get damaged....

That may be entirely true. I'm a bit in tune with the Massey Ferguson line from way back, but really never paid that much attention until about a year ago. I wouldn't know if a tractor was new old stock or a brand new released line. With that said, take it with a grain of salt. I'm just enjoying learning more about the newer lines. It's good, IMHO, to see an old familiar name brand tractor come up with new ideas for tractors and make them work like the legendary ones did.
