Oh yeah, got off topic in the last post. Haven't tried the Kioti, but they don't look like a bad machine. I have a MF 1547 cab and loader, and love it. My next door neighbour has a Kubota L4710, and there are a lot of similarities. The Kubota has a little more fit and finish, such as window defrosters in the rear and corner windows, cloth seat and interior, and that stuff accounts for some additional costs over the Massey, but i'd pay more for the defrost, but i'll keep my vinyl, it's easier to clean. The cab on the John Deere is comfortable, but very small, the Massey is like a house, but requires more, larger storage, and I wouldn't give you a dime for a NH/Case IH. They look like a Frankenstien project gone wrong, and withmost New Holland stuff the loader arms are to long putting the load to far out front, and losing on lift capacity. I'm not sure if the 1533 has it, but the 1547 has lift assist on the three point hitch, and my tractor will lift over 3000lbs, more than any other tractor in it's HP range. And like it's been said before, dealer support. I bought my Masseys because my dealer came to my house and sat down to talk about my purchase, instead of just calling and telling me the price. We did have some issues over the hydraulics on the tractor, and he wasn't really supporting me the way I would have liked, but he seems a lot better since I bought my JD 2305. I don't think he appreciated the loss of sale. Hope this helps, it's just my opinion. I'd buy a Massey again, it's in my blood.
