Massey-Ferguson 1040
Model Year: 2001
If I had it to do over again I would not buy this tractor. It is so hard to work on. One trouble I had was with the battery. It is situated in the very front of the tractor and I just about had to dismantle the whole front end to replace it. There is a metal bracket to hold the battery down and it is about 1/4 inch from the positive post. A number of times I had a problem with corrosion shorting out the battery at that point. Over all I would say it is just poorly designed.
Pros: Reasonably priced.
Cons: Poorly designed.
