New 1660 Cab

Mike476 · Jun 1, 2013

Fifteen or so years of plowing snow / moving manure and hauling logs with our old open station 135 and no regrets. I will say it will be nice to have the option to crawl into a warm cab, listen to some music and drink a warm drink without snow and ice forming around the lip of my cup for a change.

It took over a year of looking before commiting, a lot of nice equipment out there that could do the job for us. MF 1660 Dyna Cab, quick attach with HD 6 foot bucket. Looking forward to seeing it when I get home in mid-Aug.

The 135 will be going through a rebuild when I retire in a few years, going to start gathering parts for it now in preparation.

Congrats, very very nice choice! You will have two great tractors! Love the 135; only reason I don't have a classic tractor is that I do not do engine work myself. And judging from how my MF 1648 works out for me, you will be VERY happy with the 1660. I test drove the 1660 dyna cab when tractor shopping.

Thanks, looking forward to moving a little heaven and earth with it when I get home in August.

I now have around 200 hrs on my 1660 now, I have enjoyed each and every one of them....there are a few things I would like to change on it but non the less, a fine machine.
