I would say about $22,000.00-$25,000.00 at the most.Paying anymore for tractors of that size is too much in my opinion. Although with a Cab it may be as much as $33,000.00 That is the most I would pay. However you may get one even lower. One of the Best places to look is on Tractorhouse, to get an idea of the price of new tractors. This helps quite a bit. They had some 1643,1648,1655,1660's. If you look at all of them, you should be able to narrow it down. I don't trust Massey Ferguson's website on "build your own " for accurate information of the prices though. Some are much lower than the website claims. Like for example, the new 2650hd advertises $30,000.00 base price. I have seen them advertised on tractorhouse for $22,000.00 with attachments. I looked at the 2605 model, it starts about $12,000.00 on the website, but I have seen it priced as low as $11,500.00 for a 2011 model. I believe I like the 2600 series to the 1600 series, I am looking to get one soon. The reason for me though is, I plan on pulling mainly, more than loader work, and because the 2600 series is heavier, it more suits the work I plan to use it for. I like the 1600 series, the model your looking at, though I would probably wouldn't need the loader that much though. I looked at the same model, it has high hp,and high torque ratings, it's just it's weight, that basically that I wasn't as pleased with. I like the 2605 2wd from the start anyways, and since it isn't as costly, I didn't see the point. The 2605 is more of the model, I am interested in anyways, it has 38hp, where the 1652 has 52hp. The torqure ratings are pretty high with 1600 series, it's just their weights that kind of pushed me towards the 2600series. I also considered the 2625,2650hd in case I believe I need something a little bigger, or heavier. I plan on plowing,doing tillage work,crop work, pulling heavy red oaks, firewood, etc.. I believe this model is more suitable for the work I plan on doing with it. What was you plan on doing with the 1652 ?
