MF 1700 Series Compacts Tractors

[MinnesotaEric]

FYI - I just spoke with Agco & Holmes Murphy regarding the insurance. They base it off a percentage of the purchase price. For example, on a purchase of around $31,500, the quoted me about $10/mo which covers practically anything you break (not maintenance or mechanical problems) ... but the caveat is a $500 deductible! Ouch. Can't imagine many things costing more than $500, even a glass door!

I wonder how much commercial insurance is?

Too bad USAA doesn't offer commercial coverage as I'll need to head off of the reservation to get coverage. Anybody have any tips to share on getting commercial insurance?

Also, does anybody know if the front loader and 3 point offer a float option?

MO MF Dealer. Thanks for the video presentation. I just read thru this thread,lots of great information.Will you be at the Western Farm Show this next weekend? I so will you have a 1700 series there? lt190b

We hauled a 1736 Hydro Platform, 1759 Cab Power Shuttle and 6616 with CVT into the show today. But will not be able to make the show due to prior commitments. But there will be many AGCO Employees manning the lot and can help answer your questions. Western Farm Show is a non-selling show for the major manufacturers. Best to work with your local dealer and we would be happy to help if you decide Massey Ferguson is right for you.

Loader has float. 3 Point hitch does not float.

MO MF Dealer. Thanks for the farm show tip. I spent some time yesterday on the MF site in a chat exchange trying to find out if the subframe mount front blade for the 1600 series tractors will fit on the 1700 series tractors. Would you have an answer? lt190b

Thanks, MO MF Dealer. Anyway to add float to the three point? I plan to purchase the cab on version and was hoping that dialing out draft allowed the three point to float.

The Prices Pages for the 1405, 1545, and 1550 Front Dozer Blades show compatible in the February 2014 Price Book. They do require an extra bracket kit to convert to the new 1700 Premium Series COmpacts.

Need heard of a tractor, in our 62 Years, with 3 Point with Float Position.

Perhaps I've got my terminology wrong: I want the ability to be able to mount a snowblower on the three point that can follow uneven driveways and such.

That's called draft control. It's an option on the Massey units, it does come standard on some of the other brands, like LS, Kioti, TYM...etc

MO MF Dealer Thanks. Is the subframe and extra bracket kit available without buying the blade? lt190b
