New Arrival - MF 1635

[WilliamBos]

We received our new tractor today, an MF 1635 12x12 Powershuttle and RF 500 rear finish mower.



We traded our 1523/MMM, and our beloved MF 35.

This tractor is soooo quiet, compared to the 1523, and has a nice deep throaty sound to it also. Love the Powershuttle, and all the choices of deep gears to choose from. Did not want hydro this time, and do not think we will regret it.

New tractor smell rules!!

Forgot to mention the service at D&S Downham in Bradford was top notch all the way!!



They are amazing to do business with. May go test drive an MT975B once they get the Challenger line.

Nice!!! So I guess we will never see the homemade cab then for the 1523

No, the completion was halted, but it was traded with the roof that we built. Maybe the new owner will finish it.

VERY nice! A man with taste in trucks and tractors.

Is it Iseki?

 

[WilliamBos]

VERY nice!

Is it Iseki?

Yes Sir, it sure is.



Still Iseki built, and shipped over here. Not sure on or if there are any changes in the cab from yours, because I did not actually get a chance to see the 1500 series cab models.

But it sure is nice, and even tried out the RFM in a long pile of leaves today, love the rear discharge.

Nice tractor........I wonder how Iseki got more hp from the 1635 over the 1533? Must have more cubes? Or did they use a completely different engine?
Congrats

Congrats, William; very nice!

Is that, uh, tire shine on those turfs?

Probably just a pump tweak for more fuel delivery. I have the latest version of the AGCO Challengers made by Iseki (The "B" series). It has a few more HP than its' predecessor when it was distributed by Caterpillar.

Nice, I don't come on here in a few days and you've upgraded already. I guess you won't have to take all that time builing that cab, that's a good way to justify it.

Congratulations on a fine looking machine. After almost buying a Massey myself I'm sure you'll be happy. As for the cab, there is a difference between the 1500 series and the 1600 series. The controls are placed in slightly different locations and I believe the cab iteslf is actually a bit larger. The 1600 gave an impression of more "roominess" for lack of a better term but both models seemed like very nice tractors to me.

The whole process actually started almost a month ago. We only went to DS Downham to price new blades and belt for our 1505 MMM. Shaun Tearne put some numbers together, and with 0-0-72, we really could not resist.

They were just finishing PDI/Set up of 30 1643 Hydro Cab/Horst V blade- Rear sanders for a customer that got a big contract down in the GTA. After we sat in the 1643, we noticed a 1635 sitting on the lot, and checked it out. That was it, they had to get this one shipped from the yard in Tacoma Washington. We also decided to go RFM this time, and we are happy that we did. The RF500 is one heavy well built unit.

I absolutely love the deep throaty rumble this thing has, and it is quieter running that the 1523.

Hey Fred, would you know how to install the detent for the rear hydraulic controller?

Wow, what a great looking machine. I'm sure it will be great to be in a air conditioned cab...well you might use the heater too!

Now all you need is one of those laptop mounts that the cops and truckers use so you can keep reporting while you are working with your new toy.

Congratulations on your purchase.

Thank you. Was out today, and am amazed at how quickly it heats up. I assume they use the thermostat bypass line, like the 1523 did, so the block heats up faster.

Is it Iseki?

Thank you. After having the CC, I will never go back to anything less that that ever again.

It was, but now it has that new fang-dangled mud shine.

Congratulations on your new tractor!

That's a nice Massey and a nice finish mower!

You should be ready for the cold weather!- A pic of the inside would be nice.

Are you planning to add a loader?

I know all about going to the dealer for parts, and coming home with a new tractor.- I went to my dealer this spring to get some oil, filters etc.. to do service on my 4300.- My JD dealer had a great deal on a JD 110 TLB.- I bought it that same day and they delivered it that night.

When I got home I didn't tell my wife anything about buying a new tractor.- At 9:15pm that night the dealer came up the driveway with the new 110.- My wife noticed someone coming up the driveway pulling a trailer, and said they must be lost, or maybe that's one of your friends.

When she seen that new tractor she couldn't understand WHY I needed another tractor, and WHY I needed one with a another backhoe.

But the next morning when she got a better look at it, she could tell the difference in size.

Hope you enjoy your new Massey!

Wow, hate to see how much those blades & belt would've costed. Must have been crazy to justify a new tractor! I really can't say much, I once traded a truck in just because it needed tires.
I'm not sure but if you're looking to have the float/constant feed on the valve you may have to change the valve slice itself. If you're just looking to power a log splitter or something you can just put a bungee cord or something to hold it. It's not the way I would do it, but cheaper than another valve.

Wow ! even though my tractors are all great....seeing a nice new one like that brings back memories of that first day and the new smell...enjoy it and either never use it and just visit it every day or lock in the memorie....LOL - Really looks like a nice machine and I'm sure you'll be real happy.

No plans for a loader for a while, but it is loader ready, which is nice. So all we would have to do is buy the loader/brackets.















Nice unit, and OH SO HAPPY with the Power shuttle.

And the 110 TLB is a nice unit too!! Does the BH come off easy? And does it have a 3PTH?

Fred, See above pics, we have 2 mid remotes, and one rear set. We did use a bungy cord, pulling the controller for the rear set backwards. We have the bracket (detent) and the dealer is coming out to install the block heater.

Yeah, those blades and belt were real expensive. Thats my story and I am sticking too it.

I agree. Whether is is new, or used, it feels great for the arrival. But the new smell rocks.
