Massey attachments for 1500 series

aesanders · May 25, 2006

What is everyone's opinion on the OEM attachments for either a 1531 or 1533 size Massey? I plan on purchasing one of these tractors (have not decided on size yet) this summer and am interested in people's opinion of Massey's line of attachments and how they price compare to other aftermarket items like woods. Specifically a box blade, brush cutter, and backhoe are in my mind of optional accessories to purchase.

Thanks In advance
Aaron

The MF loader and backhoe for those models are top notch and a good fit.

The loader and backhoe are built for the tractor and I would suggest that you purchase them. If there is a major problem with them as far as warranty service there can be a major problem if these attachments are off brands. If they are all corporate, then there is no finger pointing. As Jeep said they are top notch. They are well designed and fit the tractor the way they should without mods.

The loader is already a given, but was unsure about the hoe. Heard good things about the woods models, but from the sound of it the Massey models are the way to go.

Anyone have their box blade or knows who makes it?

Another one of the things slowing down my purchase decision it the statement by all massey/nh/kubota dealers that warranty is void if I put on my backhoe. (Taylor Way) (Or at least 3 point service might be a problem.) The Massey dealer stated that the only backhoe that wouldn't void the warranty is the Massey Backhoe. The Kub dealer states that Bushhog or Woods have whole subframes that are made for those particular models. In fact, the Kubota-only dealer had a Grand L on the lot with a Bushhog loader. NH and Massey do not seem to have the same relationship.
