New 1500 series

[JerryG]

The Compact Equipment magazine has a page about them, but doesn't tell very much. They only have two picture and you can't tell much from them.

Just noticed a picture and a short write up at the MF web page
http://www.masseyferguson.agcocorp.com/default.cfm/PID=1.5

Can't say I like the new look very much, tho I'm sure they are good machines. It says the 8x8 shuttle is standard, syncronized shuttle but not gear to gear, Wonder why they do that, sync'd gears are really nice.

Its hard to tell from that picture, but they don't look all that much different from the new 431 and 461. I know every other tractor company is going with the sleek curved look...guess Massey doesn't want to follow that trend. Be interesting to see wha the loader looks like, i.e. curved or not.

Hopefully these tractors will fill a ninch in Massey's line up. And now looking at this tractor, I hope Massey is quick to follow up with a redesign of the 1400 series.

You know, correct me if I'm wrong, but in someways they seem to be going backwards. I have a 2000 MF1240 that has 16x16 syncronized shuttle, mostly syncronized transmission, and a lot of other features I don't see on the newer machines. If anything you'd think they'd keep all these features and just change the outward design to be more in line with NH & JD. I think Kubota will do that soon with their newer models. I don't know, but I think MF is missing the boat. But then... what do I know.

Here is the picture out of Compact Equipment magazine. It's not very good either.

Old school loader. These aren't bad looking tractors they just aren't the completly redesigned units we/I were expecting. Again, they just look like the 400 series to me.
