The Agco ST series compact tractor is the same tractor that is sold by Massey dealers as the 1200 series but painted orange for the Agco-Allis dealers instead of the Massey red. I have owned a Massey 1250 for 2 years and am well satisfied with it. I have a front end loader and a 6 foot mid mount deck and r-4 tires. I see that now you can get these tractors with either hydrstatic trans, 16foreward 16 reverse with power shuttle or 16 foreward 16 reverse with manual shuttle. Mine is a manual shuttle which suits me fine as it is syncro shuttle and I am a firm believer in the KISS principal ( Keep It Simple Stupid)

Anybody out there own an AGCO Allis machine

Our Little League has a 430 diesel with hydo trans that we use with York rake and scarrifier to dig up our 8 infields and rake and roll to keep them smooth. Last year when we tried to use it it would work fine for about 15 minutes then we would lose power steering, the 3pt wont raise and the tractor wont move. Have replaced the charge pump and changed the trans fluid and i believe the filter if it has one. Unable to correct the problem had dealer take tractor they couldnt duplicate as will run fine with no load from scarifier. Dealer has had back 3 times unable to fix. Anyone else had any problems or suggestions? I suspect hydo bad if so how much and are they available anywhere else (new or rebuilt) and price. Hate to give uo as has been vwery good machine-actually much beter with less troble than our 2 yr old 455 JD diesel. Thanks for any info <br>d

Does anyone out there have the phone# or E-mail adress of the TAYLOR-PITTSBURGH company? I have a Massey 1250 with a 1231 72" mid-mount deck that I understand is made for Massey by Taylor Pittsburgh. I have a issue with the lift links that came with this deck. The owners manual shows different links for the 72" deck than the 60" but the Massey dealers parts screens dont diferentiate. There is also an issue with the upstop-lock when this deck is used with the larger size R4 tires available with this tractor. Any help would be appreciated.

have had 1250 since spring and have 100 hrs on it. Here are a few observations(ordered with 1246 loader with tractor mounted joystick the larger r4 tires 4x4 and 1231 midmount 6ft deck) First the tractor-very pleased with comfort, handling, and power r4 tires a good compromise for lawm work and loader work. Tried running a New Idea 7ft cut-conditioner-had plenty of power but tractor too light-shook tractor badly (i realy didnt think it would work but had to try) I have about 50 acres i mow once a year. The only other problem i see is cooling capacity-while mowing heavy wet wiregrass about 3 ft tall ran hot had to stop letrun to cool down then continue. this is probably common to all compacts as they just dont hold much coolant. Also radiator screen plugs easily causing to run warm but easy to clean off then runs fine. I like the shuttle shift-easy to use Very comfortable to operate
Loader-like the tractor joystick as when you remove the loader or disconnent hoses you have acess for 2 rear remotes. Loader seems quite strong only complaint is cycle time with tractor at idle especially dump-ok if rpms raised
now the deck- does a good job of cutting sure can make a big yard in little time with 6ft cut. easy to take off or put on only complaints are this is the first year of the big loader tires raises height of tractor so mowe hits tires before deck high enough to hit upstop/transport lock. fix is to add 2 inches to transport bracket that bolts to tractor. Also the manual shows different lift links for 6 ft vs 5 ft deck-mine came with 5 ft seem light to me. Dealer hasnt checked if wrong links so far and Massey nor Agco has a web sight to email questions. I believe the deck is actually made by taylor pittsburg cannot find anything on them on web either
dealers- priced same tractor from 3 dealers equally far from home (30 miles) price varied by 2000.00 pays to shop
overall very satisfied would purchase same tractor again. Had looked at both Kubota and New holland tc33d equiped the same price comparable but liked standard transmission and flat floor of Massey
