- SAME 40hp turbo charged 4cyl diesel w/fel
I have always liked MF so it was hard not to like this one. The open station was a drawback as I do a lot of mudder work and I got the feeling with this tractors set up I would end up getting very muddy. The tractor engine felt like it needed a bigger frame to get the most out of it. The engine was strong and fast reving with the loader being crisp with a slight hesitaton on the dump cycle until I gave it some rpm's. The trans on this one was a little rough but maybe a few hours of hard work using the tractor would smooth it out as this one only ad 1 hr on it so nothing was probably broke it. The main draw back for me was the dealer siad this 451 w/fel was in the $33k range..........$33k.....wow. Wish it was better priced but I need something in the 65hp range anyway. I like them Maseys no matter what.
