I'm in the 4707 club, but a newbie with only 15 hours on it so far. No significant complaints other than operating the 3pt hitch arms. Every tractor I've ever owned or used has a lever to raise or lower the arms. Easy. Simple. Fairly accurate. This thing has the plastic thingy that takes the...

I traded in my '13 MF1643 (amounted to a decent down payment) and then took the cash price and financed it through them for 36 months (at their lowest rate, somewhere around 4%).

About five weeks ago I bought a 2021 4707. Paid about $61,000 after taxes and stuff. Options: FL3615 loader, deluxe cab with Visio roof, wheel weights. If you're buying new, I can't think of anything comparable to this tractor. If it has longevity, it will have been a grand slam for MF. The...

Not sure about the steel grate. I'll check it out. Noticed another tag on the tractor. This one is on the back side of the front axle and it says "Made in France." So, I guess the front axle is made there. Loader: Sweden Bucket: china Front axle: France

11 hours on it so far. Seems to be a high quality machine. Handsome tractor too. Cab is spacious. Tilt and telescopic steering column is nice. Still think they could do a little better job on designing nooks and crannies for storage inside the cab, although I do realize this is a little...

Honestly, I don't know. I looked around on the tractor and I haven't found anywhere that says where it's built. The stickers/tags on the back of the cab don't even say. The only things I saw were a tag on the bucket "Made in china," and the loader "Made in Sweden." Nothing else. Part of me...

Well, I did it. Got me a 4707.

I've only had my 407 for a month now, but initial impressions are pretty good. Back in '07, I bought a MF 1540 Powershuttle. It was a GREAT tractor. Best tractor I had ever used, bar none. Then the economy crapped out and I had to sell it in '09. Four years later I bought a 1643 Hydro and it...

I just bought a 4707 with the upgraded loader (FL3615) and deluxe cab: $61,000 OTD cash price.

I bought a deluxe cab 4707 a month ago with the FL3615 loader. Stout loader, made in Sweden (bucket is made in china). Very smooth operation, not jerky. This loader is a big reason why I bought the tractor and so far it hasn't disappointed.

I went and checked the thousand series and boy are they ugly. No thanks.

We're not sure of the year of the 9N and we think the 8N is a '46. Of course the Jubilee is a '53 and the NAA is a '54. The two older tractors aren't used, but are inside a barn under cover. The Jubilee has a loader and backhoe and is used about once every week or two. The NAA is used every...

I have a potential buyer for my 1643 Hydro, but they're wondering if it's possible to retrofit some sort of cab or wind/snow barrier to it. Anyone ever heard of something like that?

I am planning on buying a new 4707 and decided to sell my 2013 1643 Hydro. Not sure if it's against the rules to list things for sale here, so I won't do that. However, here are some pics of my Massey. It's in better than excellent condition, always garaged and taken care of. Except for a few...

We've used our 2001 CAT 262 skid steer to lift and load/unload cages of concrete forms for years now. Wanting to ease up on the hours on that machine, my dad and I made an attachment to use the MF 1643 to load and unload our lighter cages that hold 4' panels. These particular cages weigh about...

After going to Massey's website, I still can't figure out what differentiates them. Can someone kindly fill me in?

Just before the really cold temps hit us a couple weeks ago, I fueled up (from cans that have been sitting for a few weeks under cover) and added Power Service white bottle to the tank. I put in slightly more than the bottle recommended. About a week ago, my dad was using the tractor in 5...

I've been looking at adding a tractor to the farm. We've got an '88 70hp Belarus/loader that's under the weather right now with a head gasket leak, an '80 John Deere 850 2wd (no loader), and a '13 Massey Ferguson Hydro 1643 with loader. Specifically, I'm interested in a tractor around the...

Dealer quoted me $40,275 for a new 4608 cab with loader, 3rd function kit for loader, and loaded rears AFTER the Equine Savings Program. "Sticker" price was right around $52,000 for the same tractor with the same upgrades. Does this sound kosher?

Nope. Remember, the total weight on the front axle with our set of skid-steer forks is still 1,800-1,900lbs. It's just that the weight is carried a little further forward than the specs suggest. The front axle can more than handle that weight.

I thought I might be able to get into another tractor through the Equine Savings Program for less than I'm paying now. No dice. However, while I was at the dealership, I looked at a new 4608 with a cab and 250 loader and a 1758 cab (no loader). A few observations: The 4608 was a really nice...

First off, this is the second Massey I've owned. The first was an '07 1540 Powershuttle. Loved that tractor. Had to sell it when the economy crapped the bed. A few weeks ago, I purchased a new 1643 Hydro and have 11 hours on it so far, mostly loader work. While I'm a "gear" guy and miss the...

Interesting how MF is shipping 1540s with the new loader instead of the 1525 now. The new style loader is good looking and completely different than the 1525 it replaces, but strangely the specs are the same. I'm left wondering what the whole point is if it doesn't offer any improvement in...

Or is it just me? We've got all sorts of equipment here on the farm and I don't think anything we have is as loud as that 4320. Anyone care to chime in?

I've heard rumors here and there that hydro transmissions aren't very good for haying, as the constant "same speed" towing for hours can hurt the hydro transmission. Is this true...or is the JD e-Hydro developed enough (and stout enough) to handle haying for hours? I have a twinkle in my eye...

Everybody loved it. Smooth as silk, quiet, good gear selection (PowerShuttle), comfortable. All we need now is the canopy to keep the sun off us. Didn't do so good on the bale count, though.

Yep. Heard it here a week or two ago and I asked my dealer about it. He confirmed that all new Hydro Masseys are being shipped with twin pedal hydro, not the rocker pedal setup. Very good news. Twin pedal is much better.

I really like my 1540. After looking at a friend's 1440, I realize just how much thought went into the 1500 series. It's a much better tractor than the 1400s. Makes me wonder...what will the next series be like? Will Massey call it the 1600 series? What improvements will be implemented? When...

I've done some research on them, but haven't bumped into anyone who actually has real-world experience with them. What do you guys think of them? What's good? What's bad? On paper they certainly look impressive.

Very pleased with the tractor itself. Great visibility using the loader, digs like a raped ape (ok, so the bucket is small), and the twin-touch HST pedals are fast, fast, fast. My only two complaints are 1) The dealer blows: Not long after buying the tractor, they dropped the TYM line and they...
