So, I'm still looking at the 1700 series (and also the 2700E series as well) - I need to pull the trigger this week. My current tractor has draft control, which I find very helpful. Looking at the current Massey lineup, it appears that draft control seems to come standard with the 1759, but all other models show it as optional. When building tractors on the Massey site, a draft control option does not seem to be available to add. I'm wondering what might be involved with adding it later? It seems that the draft sensing should already be there, but I could be wrong.

Is it just the draft control lever that is missing on the premium models? How much might it cost to get this option installed?

Thanks.

I just upgraded my 1648 without to 2615 with draft control and don't know how I lived without it, that and the extra hydraulics to operate the brush grab.

Congrats on the 2615, nothing like a big heavy Ag Utility tractor!

Even though the 1648 and the 2615 horsepower ratings are with 1 hp of each other the 2615 has a lot more torque from the 4 cylinder Perkins diesel. And it's a lot louder too. I'm loving the extra torque and the sound when it loads up. :dance1:
