Same here I think it was the first thing I did as well, never regretted it

I see people driving with the bucket up all the time and all I can say is they don't understand. The examples above for pushing down grass are intentional and provide a function but you see people just tooling along with the bucket 5'-6' in the air for no reason. If you can't see over it or...

I have a 1635 with a DL 120 loader. On mine, those supports are round, Not sure why they changed. I hope you have some type of warranty, there is no reason you should ever be able to over stress these supports.

This will continue to happen when they insist on putting compact tractor parts on sub-compact tractors. Most of these things are classified as class 1 but should really be a 0. They simply aren't built to handle the loads stated by the data. How can your front axle be at max weight capacity with...

The tractor is paid for, so fuel and normal maintenance is the only cost. Oil, filters, hyd fluid, grease and general upkeep. I do all the maintenance myself, so cost is less. Long answer short, it varies, but a few hundred dollars usually covers it. Much less than the $10 per hour cited in the OP

I change the angle depending on how aggressive the situation calls for. Everything from just past horizontal to near vertical and at times even lifting the wheels off the ground, never an issue. If I had to do it extensively or daily, a skid steer would be the preferred machine.

Not a fan of steep hills Ever consider a robotic mower?

I have a small Massey (1635) When we bought it used, we compared it to everything else we could find. The usual suspects were far too overpriced to even consider. Others in the price range had less features, fit and finish and/or capacities. One thing that helped steer my decision may sound odd...

The main reason a "firm whack" is difficult to quantify, is that is a combination of art and science. While technically it should not make sense to hit something with a hammer, it works often enough to consider it a viable alternative to a proper R&R of the stubborn part/s to be struck. This...

To understand a "firm whack" you must first complete a full apprenticeship program, followed by several years of independent hands on work. You must be able to strike the faulty part, encouraging it to miraculously repair itself without damaging it. Only then will you fully understand the art of...

I got my tractor because of the specs it has. If I had to get another I would look to them first but if the specs aren't there I'll move on to another brand that has what I want.

I've been working with tools/machines all my life and I never lend anything out to anyone ever for any reason, period. This is why I still have tools. The OP sounds like a nice guy but needs to learn to say NO in a nice way. JMHO

A few years ago I bought a 52" craftsman bottom box with ball bearing drawers. (mid-range) It's okay for storage but it's horrible to move. You can easily overload the casters and bottom mounting plate before you overload the drawers. The casters would rather try to tip over rather than rotate...

Teflon tape is for sealing tapered threads. Hydraulic fitting's don't seal via the threads. If you're using teflon tape on hydraulic fittings, you're either trying to patch something in the field to hold on till you can get it to the shop and properly fixed OR you don't know what you're doing.

I've been using Shell Rotella T6 Full Synthetic for the last 9 years in my MF1635, I think by now I would know if it was bad for it. BS

You can regulate against stupidity. Tractors are for work, they are equipment. they demand focus and full attention. All the horror stories about people getting injured do not sway me in the slightest. Pay attention to what you're doing and you should be fine. Also if you're a one man operation...

What causes tractor rollovers? Tractor Drivers Someday someone will tell me why people drive around with the bucket raised

Personally I don't think it's tie rod, it looks more like a camber issue. Wheel appears to be more tilted not toed in. When he turns the wheel the tire is basically being pushed under and therefore won't roll properly and might leave marks on the driveway OMG

I don't want to pile on this guy but it seems like a common problem. People buy small tractors and don't know enough . I was going to go on about his video but whats the point. Let him switch to Orange, this video didn't help anyone except maybe the guy who buys a used Deere soon. MF 1635, happy

You don't make money with happy existing loyal customers, you make money with new sales. JD or whoever, doesn't make any money if you buy an off brand part from a supplier, so they figured out how to force you to buy only dealer parts and service. It's money pure and simple, there may be better...

I use the Archoil products https://www.archoil.com/?gclid=EAIaIQobChMIm8jjr72z8QIVMT2tBh3nEwcgEAAYASAAEgIoC_D_BwE

Some may also have a slightly different head configuration, valves, injectors/timing and so on. Larger models also change the compression ratin and add a turbo to increase HP. Changing how much and when the air/fuel is burned changes the power band where the HP is measured. You can't just raise...

I have a MF 1635 and the Iseki hasn't had any issues. A side note, my generation tractor, 2012, has a high gpm hydraulic pump, this means I rarely have to raise the engine rpm's much at all above idle to get most things done, like loader work. The only time the engine hits high rpm is when I...

I would never be so arrogant as to tell anyone what truck they should or shouldn't have. If it's a good fit for you, then great. I can say that today's trucks are more dependable, safer and so on but the emphasis on the cargo bed has disappeared and been replaced with more interior room and...

To me, today's trucks are glorified cars with no cargo room. Them made the truck bigger, added all the creature comforts, shrunk the bed from 8" to about 5.5" and raised the price. All so they could add a backseat and doors to make it the family car that gets poor MPG.

I put a Westendorf on my MF 1635 about 8 years ago and haven't had an isuue https://www.loaders.com/Canopies/Cool-Cap-Tractor-Canopy/Large-Dura-Poly-Cool-Cap%E2%84%A2

Powermatic has a new gear drive drill press, pricey though.

That's what I did. Different buckets have a different point of level, not to mention pallet forks. Having a reference point for level on each attachment can be indispensable. JMHO

I hope you guys & gals can help me. I have a 1635 and I'm in need of a new cover. I had been using one of those stretchable types Cov-R-All but it seems they are not available anymore or simply out of business. What do you all use to cover your up? Any suggestions would be appreciated, thanks

I apologize in advance if this has been covered or just seems crazy. Other than contacting AGCO, my dealer is a bit of a drive. Does anywhere online, have a kit or a pack made up for standard service intervals. (A kit with all the filters) I have a 2012 1635 and I'm getting close to my 300hr...

Does anyone have any experience with the Titan BX42 PTO 4"x10" Wood Chipper Titan Wood Chipper 3 point attachment Tractor PTO 4"x10" Automatic Tree Brush I don't need anything huge but I also don't want to get one of the smaller gas powered models (some cost almost as much) that don't seem...

Hopefully simple question I have a 1635, I'm looking for a simple output shaft cover. The plastice cover it came with was bolted on. I'm looking for something to slide on and off easily without tooks. So, my question is what do you use or where do you buy them. Thanks

Hey gang, I'm looking for a trusted online source for filters, at a decent price of course. I looked at NAPA and almost fell off my chair. I've also found some of the tractor parts sites are difficult to navigate to put it mildly. Any help would be appreciated, thanks

Hi everyone, I hope this an easy question but i do know there are always many variables. I have a 1635 and was wondering what you guys/girls run you tire pressure at. 14.9-24 rear R4 10-16.5 front R4 open platform, DL-120 FEL The manual doesn't have that exact combination although it looks like...

Forgive my ignorance but I need some help from you guys/girls. I have a small property and garden and I'm looking for a spreader for fertilizer AND compost. Everything I've seen seems to do one or the other. Is there a spreader that can handle higher moisture content like compost and then...

I'm looking for some touch-up paint (rattle can) for my 1635. I've read that the brand sold at TSC can fade. I've seen other brands like Valspar and Krylon, are any of these any good. Thanks

Hi guys, I'm looking to mount a tool box on my 2012 1635. I was thinking about putting it in the usual place, behind the seat, between the ROPS. Is there a universal kit available or do you just fab it yourself. I'm not a welder, but I can certainly get some square U-bolts and mount a bracket...

Hi guys, I've had my 2012 1635 for about 5 months now and was thinking about installing a hydraulic top link. I would need the entire setup since I don't have any extra valves installed. I want a clean install using the existing console area. My questions are, have any of you done this, or had...

Hi everyone, I'm new here so I apologize if this has been covered already. Does anyone have an opinion or preference of tractor covers. I have seen the ones a Cover My Tractor and the stretchy ones at CovrALL. I will be getting my 1635 in a couple of weeks and it;s permanent home is not built...

Hi everyone, I have been looking at some finish mowers and noticed that the KING KUTTER (as well as the countryline and looks like gearmore) has the flex-hitch design. I like the concept and they look like they should do a better job. I was wondering if anyone who has used one could let me know...

Hi everyone, As you can probably tell from my avatar I'm a woodworker. I'm out here in central CA on my 3 acres of heaven. :) I'm a little green when it comes to tractors, although I've been working with and around tools and machines for many years. Just thought I would say hello. It really...
