Hello from a MF1532 owner

[jverstrate]

Hello,

Been lurking here since I bought my tractor last year figured it was time to introduce myself (A bit slow I know).

Pics of the tractor ( A Massey Ferguson 1532 Syncro Shuttle )



So far its been working great, mainly been using it for moving snow, much much easier then a push snowblower

Just got a bush hog to keep it busy in the summer.

:welcome:
To TBN Jverstrate. With all that snow, did you consider a cab? Nice looking machine.

I did but they were out of my price range. A snowmobile helmet was much cheaper been out in -33deg F for a few hours and have kept warm enough. Thinking of adding apiece of plexiglass to the ROPs to block some of the snow from the snow blower.

G'day Mate and welcome to TBN from Downunder.

Enjoy the site.

Welcome, I don't know how much you blow snow at night but you may want to think about some led lights mounted to the rops to help you see. I have a 24" led light bar facing forward and two 6 led floods facing back on my 1529. It almost turns the night into day. Enjoy the snow blowing.

Thanks, that is something I hope to add before winter. I try to get all the snowblowing before night comes.
I replaced the rear light that came with the tractor with an LED after the original light shorted after 5 min of use.

DuckSlayer, I just got a 12-inch LED light bar for my 1705 and intend to mount it on my ROPS. It came with a free, (or free?) -rectangular lighted switch. I'm searching around to see if anyone has found a good spot to place the switch, so let me know if you have any suggestions, if you would be so kind. Thanks.

I put my switch in the dash right next to the factory light control. My switch had some built in tabs to hold it in place. It just required I drill a 1/2" hole in the dash. The most time consuming part was getting the wire routed and looking good. There should be a wire way that runs down the chassis near the left rear tire that you can use to run the wire from the switch to the light.
