Engine displacement is the same on 54, 58, 59 they just tweaked something for a bit more power between models. I would say the 1754 and 1758 probably handle close to the same work. I cut about 4 chords of wood this weekend roading a good 10 miles round trip to a place that has a huge pile of...

18" snow last 2 days. Opened runway with tractor. Hit 250 hours on unit. Was plowing in high range.

Yes it's been my best unit. Owned a new Case/IH 55A, International 454 Utility, 2615 Massey, Kioti/Bobcat CT445, and older models from M Farmalls up to the 560. Also owned two ASV's a RC50 and PT60 and a JD Gator and RTV1100 Kubota. Equipment isn't new to me and it needs to go bang like a Glock...

-20F today with 3" fresh snow; up from -37F lows last week. 1758 running well. I am plowing in high range for most of my snow removal. Sorry to hear owners woes with regard to regen cycles and no power with the HST. Mine has been the best value I could ask for at 240 hours now. I live in extreme...

Though my dealer has been real decent I would still love my 1758 if I had woes. Technology and websites are frustrating as ****. I hate them frankly. Would rather go see in person but that takes time and effort. Having owned new other brands from India and Korea I gotta say the Japan build is...

Today's job with Massey at a cool 5F temp. 5 miles away on federal firewood permit. Black ash and birch. Love my Massey.

I see a tripacer in your pics, had a Super Cub before the Scout. Always liked the Pipers and their wing.

Have about 190 hours on unit. Will touch on some review. For cold weather starts, this tractor fires off in colder temps than any other machine I have owned. Though I plug it in, I have started without block heater in -5F... I just moved 2000 feet by about 75-100 feet wide of 2 foot compacted...

I use my 1758 almost daily. As with much of my equipment whether it's a handgun, chainsaw, or tractor; it needs to go bang every time I use it. Anything can break, but where I live being REMOTE, it's crucial things are reliable. I checked tractor house and looked at some of the pricing on the...

Loving my 1758,, 18" yesterday

My 1758 nicest tractor I have owned. Soot regen cycle not an issue for me, particulate filter and emissions stuff was a worry but I am past that and don't notice it sometimes when it does cycle. I like my cab on the 1700 series has been a summer from **** with humidity and bugs and storms here...

I was thinking about this too the other day. Most Massey owners I know are driven individuals that would rather get the work done than chat about it online LOL. Here are some pics from the past few days. Said it before, Love my Massey.

Wood cutting season. The 135 ldr/1758 combination is a great lifter. Green Birch heavy heavy. Roads in breakup here frost coming out super soft. Tractor roads in high empty and M range with bucket full. Without loaded tires no way would I have the stability and capacity.... Love my Massey

Made 10 passes on my 1800 foot runway to prepare for some aircraft operations. The 1758 is a Joy. Would buy another Japan Massey again in a heartbeat. Sold my ski-plane so getting ready for wheeled aircraft arriving.
