Massey Ferguson 1529 Shuttle or Hydro

[bhollar55]

Hey guys

So after much looking at a new CUT's I've narrowed my search to 2 used Massey Ferguson's that are both local to me.

1- 2010 Massey 1529, 235 hours, FEL, R4 tires, hydro- $13800

2- 2010 Massey 1529, 440 hours, FEL, R4 tires, shuttle, 5' bush hog, 5' rippers, single row plow, 5' blade- $15000

I'll primarily be using it on the driveway, cutting and loading firewood, tilling a garden (50 x 150') and other general utilities around the house.

I'm more familiar with the shuttle, as this is really all I've ever used.

Should I consider the hydro?

Thanks

While the hydro is great for doing a lot of loader work, I would go with the shuttle, especially if you can use those implements.

Thanks for the reply. That's the way I'm leaning.

I really like Hydro, but those implements make up the difference and then some, IMO.
