After going to Massey's website, I still can't figure out what differentiates them. Can someone kindly fill me in?
What's the difference between the 1700M and 1700 Premium?

That video didn't answer my question. Massey has the 1700 Premium series. It also has the 1700M series. I cannot find what differentiates the two from each other. Am I missing something?

In 2018, Massey Introduced the 1700M series. The M is their deluxe line with deluxe cab. Before 2018 it was the premium line

The new M does not have a DPF and does not need to do regens. Just the new improved version of the premium.
They also now use a Shibaura engine. The same engine new Holland used to use in the old Boomer line when the tractors were made by Shibaura.

Air ride seat. Yes. Premium tractor no doubt. Top of the line. I would assume Shibaura went with the DOC for engine Tier IV emissions in lieu of DEF/Regen route. I would expect pricing to be in line with Deere and Kubota premium series. Another great option for consumers.

I just got a quote for the 1735M with loaded tires for $31,500. I got a quote for the 1740M Deluxe cab for $36,500. The Deluxe cab has heated back window, sunscreen, mesh storage compartment, blue tooth radio and air ride seat. The air ride seat was awesome. Edit: It also has front and rear LED cab lights.

Saw your other post MaineGuy1 but didn't want to insult other brand owners. Go Massey over LS!!!! Massey is the only other brand that would buy besides Kubota.
LS is alright, if you like lots of plastic and rust if you are around salted roads at all in the winter. All the LS's around here look awful after a winter of blowing snow at the ends of driveways near the road salt.
So the deluxe does have the heated rear window now too like Kubota? Nice. I wish I could get a cab tractor up here for those prices!!

I tried last years premium 1735 and I can say, Massey has the nicest seats I have ever sat in. It blew my mind how comfortable that 1735 was.

Yes, the LS offers a lot for the money but I am also in it for the longevity of the tractor. I love my Kubota also and would not rule one out except the prices of the cab tractors in the same category are a bit higher. That Massey 1740M with the Deluxe cab was really nice. The air ride seat was amazing.

I have a new Massey 4707 and it has the air seat. Super comfortable. Love the tractor. You get alot for your money. MF is the underdog, and underdogs always try harder. You can see it in their tractor quality. Deere and Kubota will have a following, so they dont need to try as hard. It shows. Here is my gal.

Ya, Massey did have a price advantage over a similar Kubota cab tractor, but with this new M series they have leveled out here.

It's a Shibaura engine now in the M. Same company that made the New Holland Boomers before NH went to LS.

325 hours, pushed a foot of snow with it today. No issues regens fine a bit week in high range hst but I can and do push snow in high. Was considering upgrading to the M series at some point but no complaints. I assume the Mitsubishi model not made anymore but see them still advertised, Shibaura engine in my IH Case 55A I traded I believe is same engine in the 1760M. I like that engine
