I had a 2007 Massey Ferguson 1540 Powershuttle with the 1525 loader (almost the same tractor as the 1440 you describe, just one model generation newer). It was outstanding and the best tractor I've ever owned or operated. The 3cyl turbo engine started instantly no matter how cold the temps were, had very good fuel economy, and was very quiet. I sold it when the economy crapped the bed in '09, but it really hurt to see it go. I eventually replaced it with a '13 MF 1643 Hydro, but while a few things were improved (headlights, seat, ROPS), overall the 1540 was the better tractor.
