Jason walks through specific dislikes (loader handle position, thin seat, protruding lights), compares them to fixes made on newer models, and details the only mechanical failures he encountered: two broken hydraulic lines and a PTO spring issue. Honest and unpolished; best for prospective buyers wanting long-term durability perspective from hard use.
An owner-operator sharing hands-on impressions from daily use on his own property, no apparent dealer or brand affiliation, though he is openly enthusiastic about the machine.
Two hydraulic lines broke, one likely a design issue and one from debris, plus a PTO spring that no longer springs back into position automatically.
The loader handle position requires leaning forward, the seat is thin with little support, and the lights stick out and can get knocked off.
Yes, the owner used it hard every day on 10 acres for 1,000 hours with only two hydraulic line breaks and a PTO spring issue, and would buy another Massey.
It has 22.5 horsepower but performs like it has around 60 horsepower, and the owner finds it very hard to get stuck.
