1735M owners ?

[Corkpuller]

Kickin tires in the 35-40hp range.
From reading and a couple videos I've seen, I'm liking the MF 1735M.
Anyone here own one, and what are your thoughts?

No cab for me.
No snow removal operations for me.

I've got 9 acres of heavy timber, 2 will be clear cut for home site. Once a lawn is established, "lawn" mowing will be done with a lawn tractor.
A lot of loader and grapple work.
Rotary mowing/hacking/chopping underbrush.

One thing that concerns me is the fuel tank location. I'll be operating in the woods. Heard of anyone jabbing that sucker with a stick?
What about normal required maintenance costs, and how complicated are those tasks considered for the owner?

Thanks

I have the previous model 2015 MF1736 and I have no complaints. Make sure you get the dealer to change the speedometer from kmh to mph if you decide to buy one.

I’ve done all the fluid changes myself including all filters. Its all very simple and easy to access.

I really like my 1735M but only have about 30hrs on it, most all of it for snow removal. I will be getting a box blade and pallet forks for it soon. I love the fit and finish of the tractor. I haven't used the soft start PTO yet but it is a nice feature to have, along with cruise control and I call them the speed reaction controls for throttle response. I love the engine so far, started right up in cold weather. One of the main selling points for me was the engine has no regen, and you see a lot of people having regen issues which I didn't want to deal with. (I understand many of those issues are operator error of some sort). My Kubota has the most fluid movements for the loader, but the Massey is close behind after a little time with working the loader and bucket.

It is a new line for 2019, not many reviews on it yet. Go to Tractordata.com and you can research specs of all tractors. Other model 1700's such as 1739 has been using the Shibaura engines also. This engine is not new.

The Shibaura engine is in the following

1700e series with turbo, regen, and cam lobe egr (exhaust gas recirculation) except 1726E with no emissions control; it's a naturally aspirated Shibaura.

The new 1700M series and 2700E series with turbo, common rail injection, cooled egr, and DOC (diesel oxidation catalyst)

:thumbsup:

Would you know if this is a first go for Shibaura for a DOC in this size Diesel?
Or, have they used the same engine in applications other than Agriculture or with other Manufacturers than Massey?

Really my goal is to find out if this is a first year for this exact engine.

Thanks

Not a clue about other brands or models. I do know that our dealership has sold 4 or 5 of these new 1735M tractors and we haven't heard a peep out of anybody yet.

I take it that no news is usually good news.

The 2700E series has been out for a few years and we haven't had any real trouble out of them. I've seen one come back for regular service and it has around 900 trouble free hours so far.

Thank you sir, appreciate it.

looking for some additional / more recent info....

I bought a 1750M and have about 90 hours on it. No complaints

I have a 1723E with 53 hours on it. I love it. I have the 1805 loader (not sure if this is available on the 1725M) with quick attach bucket. I made my own adjustable forks which are real handy. The last couple of days i skidded 6 logs and used the forks to lift the logs after skidding to cut up the log into rounds. The bonus with the 1805 is that MF now has a third function valve function kit for the loader if you want to add a grapple.

One thing to keep in mind is to protect the HST fan if you plan on being in the woods. Little twigs will make the card in the spokes sound when they catch on the fan.

I have a 1740M with only 70 hrs on it. So far no problems. The 50 hrs engine oil change was really easy, actually everything that need to be change or check in any of the maintenance jobs seems to have easy access.

I was looking at the kioti dk42se to when I bought it and what made me choose the Massey was the cab quality and comfort (lots of snowblowing) and the under belly is pretty neat with no filters or lines Hanging everywhere. The Dk had that hydrostat filter right behind that rear wheel that I was affraid of. Hydraulics are real fast to
