Read articles →This is a dealer-produced walkaround focused specifically on the gear-transmission 1734E, contrasting it with the hydrostat version and explaining the independent PTO, bevel-gear front axle, and a roughly 5% lower cost of ownership versus hydrostat. It covers real specs (3-point lift capacity, hydraulic flow rates, fuel tank size), maintenance access points, quick-detach loader operation, and a brief driving/loader demo. Good for buyers comparing gear vs. hydrostat before visiting a dealer.
Posted by Vahrenberg Implement, a Massey Ferguson dealership channel, so expect an informational but sales-oriented walkaround.
The gear version has a foot pedal difference versus no pedal on hydrostat, costs about 5% less, and now also offers independent PTO direct off the engine clutch.
It can lift 2,250 pounds at the hitch pin or 1,600 pounds measured 24 inches behind, which is a more true working dimension.
Pull the pins, lower the loader stands, roll the loader off, and unhook the hydraulics by pulling the connectors up and off, then cap them.
It has a separate 3.8 gallons per minute steering pump and a 6.2 gallons per minute pump for remotes, totaling 10 gallons per minute.
