The owner explains why he chose it over a high-horsepower compact, covers the cast-iron construction, eight-speed shuttle transmission, planetary axles, draft control, and notably the absence of DPF/DEF/regen. Comparisons to older Massey models (165, 175, 180) run throughout. Best for buyers already considering this tractor who want a candid long-term impression rather than specs or pricing.
An owner-operator sharing hands-on impressions from his own farm, with evident long familiarity with legacy Massey Ferguson equipment.
No, the owner says this tractor has none of that, calling it a unicorn for this reason, so you never have to think about regen cycles.
It made more sense for his work, cost less than a high horsepower compact, and performs better with ground engaging tilling tools.
An eight-speed transmission with high-low range and a four-speed gearset, plus a shuttle shift for forward-reverse that works while still rolling.
Yes, both front and rear axles run planetary gear sets for reduction, the same time tested feature found on Massey 165, 175, and 180 models.
