Read articles →A dealer walkaround of the MF 1740E hydrostatic that covers maintenance access points, controls layout, transmission ranges, loader specs (FL 2407, 1,450 lb lift, skid-steer quick-attach option), hydraulic flow numbers, tire design, and a brief drive demonstration. It stays at a surface-level tour rather than a working test, but it does recite concrete specs. Best for shoppers who want a quick feature rundown before visiting a dealer.
A dealership channel (Barnburg Implement, a Massey Ferguson dealer in West Central Missouri), so expect a sales-oriented presentation with no critical analysis.
It comes in at 38 and a half engine horsepower and 30.9 PTO horsepower on the hydrostatic model; the synchro/shuttle version is 32.7 PTO horsepower.
The FL 2407 loader will lift 1,450 pounds at the pivot pin to its maximum lift height, with a 26 degree no roll back and 54 degree dump angle.
It has a three-range hydrostatic transmission: snail, turtle, and rabbit mode, plus three or four wheel drive engagement with mechanical front-wheel drive.
No tools required: pull up the loader span, pull the two pins, unhook the four hydraulic cables, and the loader comes off the tractor.
