MF Breaking With Iseki?

[SDT]

I've recently learned that a forthcoming line of MF CUTs will be made by Mitsubishi rather than Iseki.

Has anyone additional information regarding this development. In particular, is MF breaking with Iseki?

Iseki built tractors with Mitsubishi engines in the 1700's larger than the gc's. thanks tier 4. Iseki's role with me has increased with the 4600's. I can't foresee any break in the future. Mixed feelings on the engine change though.

Will Iseki build the 17** series tractors using Mitsubishi engines or will Mitsubishi build tractors and engines?

I will have to see something more than this before I believe it.

I saw it at my dealer.

Introductiory (dealer only) information regarding forthcoming models on MF site.

Iseki built machines with Mitsubishi engines. Dpf filters and all. Some new features on the tractors. New cabs, kinda like what's on the 4600. Also some base models without all the features of the premium machines for a better price point.
Saw the prototypes back in December at a customer ride & drive.

Mitsubishi engines are good engines. They are powering a lot of vehicle today both on the highway and farm. Some say the new six cylinder engine used in the 2013 Cadillac XTS is a Mitsubishi engine. I don't have any proof, just reiterating what I have heard.

 

[JerryG]

Iseki has used there own engines since the 1980s or very early 1990s in their compact models. Massey used Iseki tractors and engines starting with the MF 1200 series.

Thanks for the confirmation MFRED!!

Looks to me like the 2405, the 2410 and the 2415 are all SAME built units

Italian tractors with the Mits. engines.

Can't say about any other CUT series. I was looking for a hydraulic filter for my Hurlimann, and the M-F 2415 was referenced as using the same item. So I looked a bit more.

The three models sure have the SAME build features.

Not sure about any of the "GC" stuff. But it appears that the SUB CUTS share numbers, but prefix GC ......you figure that one ;-)

 

[MFRED]

The 2405,2410 and 2415 you're thinking are different than the gc series referenced here.

The gc and 1700 series. Are Japanese built by iseki. The ones you're finding look like European built units not imported to North America.

MY 1648 is all Iseki. I sat on the 1700's and the tractors are identical except the seat, the cab roof, and a couple small features. I didn't know they switched to Mitsu engines for tier 4, but I can say that the rest of the tractor is the same as my Iseki/1648

My understanding is that the 1734E and the 1739E lower hp economy series are going to be built by iseki with shibuara engines.

 

[lobsterman1]

Anyone know when is the E series is due out, and what kind of loader will it have ?

 

[Paystar]

The 1700E's are on the web site now. And yes they have Shibaura engines. They are a good engine also.

 

[Kernopelli]

Just a little Iseki history......Iseki has used Mitsubishi engines before. The Bolens G/Iseki TX models back in the '80's used their KE70 and KE75 engines.

Will Iseki build the 17** series tractors using Mitsubishi engines or will Mitsubishi build tractors and engines?

Only the 1700 Premium Series are manufactured with Mitsubishi Engines. 1700 Economy are Shibaura Engines, 4600 Series are AGCO Power Engines. The rest of tractor is manufactured by Iseki. The engine changes are to meet the TierIV Final Clean Air Emission Regulations.

I have been playing with the new 1700 Premiums and they are extremely quiet...I can almost hear myself think. Iseki was a great engine bust I've been very impressed with power and torque of the new Mitsubishi Engines.

We did a little video clip on the new 1700 Premium Series and it has the engine running:

Hope it helps.

The Massey Ferguson L100 Loader is the fit for 1726E, 1734E and 1739E.

We have several Economy Compacts coming and look like they are scheduled to ship this month.

Finally a video of a compact tractor (that also just happens to be my favorite brand) with R1 tires! No way I'm trying to offend anyone, and I try not to 'hate' but I can honestly say that I personally HATE R4 tractor tires.
