Read articles →A dealer walkaround comparing all three 1700E models side-by-side, 1726, 1734, and 1739, on the same lot. The distinctive focus is explaining what actually differs between the three: DPF emissions equipment, engine RPM, hydraulic flow rates, PTO type (independent vs. engine-driven), and transmission choices. Spec numbers are cited throughout. Best for shoppers trying to decide which 1700E size fits their needs before visiting a dealer.
Posted by the Vahrenberg Implement channel, a Massey Ferguson dealership in Higginsville, Missouri, so the presentation is sales-oriented and promotional in tone.
They are the same physical size and tires, but differ in engine, with the 1726 having no DPF, 1734 and 1739 requiring one, and the 1739 running higher RPM and hydraulic flow.
No. Since it is 24.7 engine horsepower, it does not require a diesel particulate filter, unlike the 1734 and 1739.
Hydrostatic models use an engine-driven PTO requiring the clutch to engage it, while gear drive models offer an independent PTO that runs without clutching.
All three have the same lifting capacity: 2,205 pounds at the hitch ball or 1,598 pounds two feet back from the hitch ball.
