New 1648 owner

[TSO]

Congratulations TSO. Do you still have the LS?

I do. Just waiting for an above freezing day to remove my home made canopy and clean her up so I can put her up for sale. She'll be missed, she's a good tractor.

By those photos it looks like the Massey is a bit bigger. Is the bucket skid-steer quick attach?

Thought you said you had a Kubota? Some folks were saying the Massey speakers are Clarions and are actually decent (allegedly). So, I'll see how it sounds first and go from there.

I do own Kubota but when was comparing the two researched a lot and because music is important to me dug pretty deep on this issue

 

[Buppies]

The speakers are respectable, I wouldn't classify them as garbage but to each their own.

I'm making assumption that they would sound like the ones in my Kubota which did sound horrible to my ears

Congrats on the new Massey tso. Mighty handsome lookin tractor. I really like the 16/1700 series masseys. Im anxious for a review! I'd love to see how you like the loader.

Thanks, I've been a fan of them too, they were just too much out of my price range. The stars aligned and the price was just right for this one

Yeah, it is a bit bigger, HxWxL are all a bit more, though the tires on the LS are a bit bigger. Would have liked to keep these size tires and had them on the Massey, but there are so few of the 1648's left out there that I couldn't pick & choose. After the fact, it was like a $1500 option because it needs different rims. And yes on the QA

I found you and have now subscribed. For all you guys out there, TSO let me drive and play with her. Now that's a good friend...

 

[TSO]

Yup everyone, you can thank KenB2920 for twisting my arm into getting a cab... We're hoping to get all 3 tractors lined up in a row for a photo shoot soon

Congrats TSO, nice machine

Nice tractor. You're right about the rarity of new 1600 series tractors. They're hard to find these days. I finally just gave up and went with a 1742, which I like a lot so far.
