    Massey Ferguson 1835M Hydrostat is a fuel hog

    I asked a question this morning at our other AGCO dealer. We have 2 here. Is there a chance that the hydrostat cooler, which is located on the radiator, is too small to accommodate the size and workload of the tractor? Regardless if it is too small, the amount of room that is needed to put a...

    Massey Ferguson 1835M Hydrostat is a fuel hog

    Everyone has good ideas, but the dealership has more excuses than a Democrat. The tractor is under warranty, but it's official, they will not do anything since they invested around 6 hours of driving it around wasting my fuel, and it never acted up. Either way, come March I will probably go...

    Massey Ferguson 1835M Hydrostat is a fuel hog

    Lewiston, you know the stinky town to the north. For the record, I miss the smell of the diaries around Jerome. I'm actually from Sun Valley where my family ran a sheep ranch since the 1870s.

    Massey Ferguson 1835M Hydrostat is a fuel hog

    It's still September. I'll be sneaky and will call a landscaping company tomorrow and will ask them what their rates are. As for brush hogging, I'm getting $75 per acre plus extra for doing sloped areas which this tractor hates.

    Massey Ferguson 1835M Hydrostat is a fuel hog

    I had a friend who bought a 4710. First trip to the field with the round baler, 2nd row in, the PTO fell out of the tractor. Me, I'm a smart-ass, I walk up to the ass end of the tractor, wipe the dust off of the serial plate, I see the words MADE IN CHINA.

    Massey Ferguson 1835M Hydrostat is a fuel hog

    By the way, with these compact tractors, what would you guys charge for snow removal for the average driveway? I'm stuck in the 1990s when the average here in idaho was $40 per pop. Would asking $50 be too much? Keep in mind, no snow blade, just the bucket and rear blade.

    Massey Ferguson 1835M Hydrostat is a fuel hog

    Elevation, this part of idaho is just over 700 feet. Farthest inland sea port...a sea port in idaho. I will be getting rid of it in the spring. No manuals in cabbed kubotas. Case IH/New Holland will not do a trade, kioti doesn't have a home here. Leaves me with green. Funny part is, the price...

    Massey Ferguson 1835M Hydrostat is a fuel hog

    Regen...oh my lord. Sometimes it's every 8 hours, 12 hours, 20, 25, etc. Auto regenerate doesn't see to do crap. Parked regenerate takes about 12 mins on average. So I'm going to baby thus thing into next year and trade it off. Whatever I choose to buy, will have a cab and shuttle shift.

    1835 M Hydraulic issues?

    5 bucks says AGCO will force Massey to discontinue the 1800 series and move on to a whole new line...with same hydrostat transmission from the 1800 and 1700 series. Lmao!!

    Massey Ferguson 1835M Hydrostat is a fuel hog

    Hey everyone, Earlier this year I traded in my 1966 John Deere 1020 for a Massey Ferguson 1835M compact with a hydrostat transmission. I have been blindsided, so to speak, on how much more fuel a hydrostat consumes when compared to a gear drive. Best example: Mowing hay with a sickle...
