I purchased a 1987 MF1030 in the fall of 1999. It had 940 hours on it and now has about 1010. It has worked great. I like the low speed of the 12 gears for maneuvering in close. I filled the rear tires with CaCl which is supposed to reduce load on the front wheel drive. I did notice some water in one of the front gear cases but it was clear when I changed fluid again a year later. It is probably the seal and could be a problem if left outside or worked in deep water. The tractor starts instantly even in the cold weather (-20F) and has plenty of power for my 5' woods mower and MF1016 loader. Everything seems well designed and solidly built. My only possible complaint is that the bucket could tilt a little faster when the engine is idling.
Have a good time with your new tractor,

I have a 1987 Massey Ferguson 1030 and a Massey Ferguson 1016 loader. It works great. I have filled the rear (turf) tires with CaCl to improve traction and reduce load on front wheel drive. The loader seems to have plent of power and speed. The only thing I notice is that the bucket tilting is slow when the engine is idling.

Thanks, Dave.
Sounds like the same tractor I have. Is your brother using front drive most of the time and on hard ground or pavement? The front drive runs at 5% lead (faster than rear wheels) which improves traction and control but adds to wear on tires and gears when traction is good. I believe this is normal on four wheel drive tractors.
Also, what needed to be replaced and where did he get the parts? New? Were there any symptoms of pending failure. One of my front axles did have some water in the gear box when I changed fluid right after I bought the tractor.
Thanks for your help,
Bob

I am reading the discussions on different tractors and would like to know where I could get a list of specifications and pictures for the various models. This information would help put the various discussions in perspective. I have a MF1030 and could add specifications (from manual)to a list if needed.

Thanks for the e-mail. I just purchased my MF1030 about 3 weeks ago. I bought it as is but the only thing that was just a grond problem. I have been mowing with a 5' rear mower and moving wood, dirt and rocks with the front loader. It seems like a very well thought out design. It has 945 hours on the meter and doesn't show any wear.
