Massey 1652 HST Cab
Got my new (used with 290 hrs) Massey 1652 in the mail last week. Put on about 25 hrs so far... So I'm putting the 1648 up for sale if anyone's interested.

Why I bought it?
-LOVE my 1648. As I acquire more equipment and machinery for my business, this "large frame CUT" will remain my "main-use" machine for now. The 1652 uses a 3.0L diesel (largest engine in the CUT class, from any mfg) compared to a 2.2L in my 1648. There's about 30% more available torque in the 1652... So i figured since I'm keeping this sized tractor for a long time, might as well step up to the larger engine. Found a great deal finally on a 1652, so I went for it.

Haven't used the PTO yet so not sure how much I'll notice the additional power there... But it does seem to pull my boxblade a bit better. It also has more hydraulic flow: 12.3 GPM vs 11.6 for the loader/implement hydraulics, and 5.2 vs 4.9 for the steering pump.

It also has loaded rear tires, wow what a difference! I'm able to stay in 2wd more than before, even with the wheel weights.

Updates as I get them.

Congrats! All four tires loaded allows one to wreck stuff. Smile.

Congrats on the new machine. Even though it may seem to be an incremental upgrade, I know there have been many times when just a "little" more power and/or traction would have been nice. Your existing Massey has served you well, so this one should be even better.

Can't pass up good deals no way man. So, how many does this make you have bought and sold in the last what 2-3 years? LOL B.

Nice pair of tractors for sure.

So how long before you get a 1660? Have to hurry if you want to find a like new one.

No, won't get the 1660. Need HST, and in the 16xx series, HST stopped with the 1652. Same engine as the 1655/1660 tho, so I may bump up the fuel pump to get the 59 HP that the 1660 has, we'll see. Next tractor will probably either be a CTL, or a larger "industrial" tractor with gear/shuttle shift. This 1652 should serve me for a long time as my "go to" machine.
