Massey Ferguson 1759

[dahogman]

Update....I've now got approx. 250 trouble free hours on it. I've been doing a lot of leveling, and filling in washouts. I just ordered my grapple from Everything Attachments, 72" dual lid. I had the dealership install a diverter before the tractor was delivered. I'm very impressed with the power of the tractor and loader. I run out of traction long before I run out of power even with the tires loaded. Cab is nice and heat and ac are great. Lights for night work are pretty good also. It seems to do well on fuel although I don't like the catalyst regen. Seat suspension is awesome. This is a real nice sized tractor for maintenance type of work. Only gripes I have so far are the grease fittings are a PIA to get to on the loader. The hood latch on the front is a piece of junk. I'm pumped to get my grapple and get to some serious tree work.

Happy to hear you've had no problems. I bought a 1742 in November. Very happy with it. I got a grapple when I bought it. I've used it quite a bit to clean up brush. It's a big time saver
