He walks through specific spec-by-spec differences: engine type and horsepower, transmission options, frame size and weight (8,600 vs. 6,600 lbs.), lift capacity, loader quality, cab layout, and turning radius. Honest about where the MF wins. Best for budget-conscious utility tractor shoppers weighing these two machines.
An owner-operator channel sharing first-hand impressions from equipment they actually purchased and use on their own farm.
It was a matter of economics. The LS MT573 was about $26,000 less than the Massey Ferguson 4707, which was priced at $76,000, and he did not have the budget for the MF.
The Massey Ferguson 4707 weighs about 8,600 pounds without the loader, while the LS MT573 weighs around 6,600 pounds without the loader, a roughly 2,000-pound difference.
The owner says the Massey Ferguson's loader quality was much better, with thicker frames throughout, while the LS loader has performed well but has some weird flex in it.
The LS MT573 has a better turning radius than the Massey Ferguson 4707, though the MF is on a larger frame so a wider turn is expected.
