    1758 Value

    -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...

    1758 Snowmover

    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...

    Plowing 3 1/2 miles with 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.

    Digging my Massey 1758

    I am sure happy I went this route. Despite the weight with my loaded tires I like the front axle engaged. I can keep a straighter line moving snow. Can plow in high range and the directional snow blade is like having a plow truck.

    King Kutter Tiller 84" sizing

    Debated what size to go, for my D17 and Massey 1758 I am glad that I went with the widest one they had at LM Fleet. 2 hours on it and it seems to work at I hoped. This was all corn stubble before I started.

    Buying Advice  1758 Review

    Have very little time in tractor but enough to say a few things. I have mostly skid steer time with loaders and the tractors were loader less for field work and slipping through the woods in tight quarters. I have owned M farmalls, a 560 and 454 IH, Bobcat CT445, 2615 Massey, D17 AC, Case 55a...

    Comparison  MF 1758 vs 1759 advice

    Down to these 2 MF tractors. I priced out the only 2 dealers within 100 miles as I am near the Canada border in northern MN. Had green and red to chose from. The JD 4052R cab with wheel weights, 3 rd control on loader for snow blade, radio, self level bucket and susp. package on loader with R1...

    Moving a little snow 55a

    Lots of snow this winter. Will need to upgrade to a snowblower at this rate. Very happy with the traction of this tractor. Changing directions easy with the shuttle. With the R4 tires on a CT445 Bobcat, that tractor just spins out. Movie links click on image

    Case IH 55A

    Have 50 hours on her now since new. Mixed feelings so far. As I feared all the safety switches are becoming an issue. It doesn't start every time so I need to jiggle the gear, shuttle and range levers until I shake the connection. Assume it is in the wiring. Brakes need to be locked, arse on the...

    New 55A

    Just got my Farmall 55A home. Paid under 20K for it. Will give a better indepth review/opinion on it here. There are no dealers near me, I am pretty remote, so drove some distance for this; 200 miles. I purchased it via internet without driving one so was hoping my research paid off. First...

    A day at deer camp

    Putting in food plots yesterday with both new and old technology. 70 years seperates these two machines. Jack likes to help out where he is needed.

    IH454 and a Bobcat 445

    I am new here. I purchased a 445 w/o the loader at the 0% financing. Yet to be delivered. Traded the 454 in for a $6000 credit. Paying $13000 diff with a brush guard and some filters, rear remotes, and R4 tires. What are your opinions on comparing these 2 tractors for performance. I am very...
