Massey Ferguson 1529

[n0f3ai2]

Hello,
Does anyone know if MF 1529s' are in dealerships yet? I was just aon the Massey site and under "What's New from Massey Ferguson" on the homepage has 1529 and 1532.
From what I understand, the 1529 will come with a 8x8 SyncroShuttle transmission (Haven't heard anything about a gear drive optional, has anyone?) and the 1532 will come with a 9x3 constant mesh gear transmission with a 8x8 SyncroShuttle as an option. Along with the new transmission there will be a new L100 FEL (Front End Loader for the new-comers) with a new heavy-duty front axle for added 4-Wheel Drive power for tough jobs.

More Info can be found at: http://www.masseyferguson.com/agco/...gusonUnveilsNewCompactTractorsModels15291.pdf


There are 2 questions somewhere in all of that...

1) Does anyone know if 1529s' are in dealerships yet?
and
2) Does anyone know if a gear drive option will be avaible for the 1529? *Couldn't find anything in that article*


Thanks.

1. 1529/1532 should be arriving at dealerships within the next month or so.
2. 8x8 SS is only transmission available for the 1529.

These tractors are physically larger than the 1528/1531 they are replacing and for the time being the 1528/1531 will still be available with hydros.
