I have had to replace the front ring gear and pinion twice!!
They (Massey) said the last one is a heavy duty new style and should last. The latest repair was a bearing on the shaft for the 4wd went out and took 6 gears in the intermediate trans and the 4wd shifting fork with it. Very costly!! The tractor has a Massey loader and is used lightly on a horse farm.

I don't know if it is a fluke or what but a friend of mine has a 30-something horse power Kioti 4x4 w/loader and has had a fair amount of problems. 3 PTO shifting forks, Steering box shaft twisted in two, center of the front wheel broke out and the front axle fell completely off the tractor. Not all at one time but the tractor is a 94 model and most things happened under warranty. Sounds like a loader problem of overloading but it is a Kioti loader and he only has a small farm in WV.

I really hate to bash a brand but I have had mixed feelings with MF. I have an 1160 that is used to keep the manure from piling up around my horse barn (8 horses) and have had to replace the front ring gear and pinion twice and replace six gears, a shaft, shifting fork, and the culprit of the tranny crisis, a bearing. MF took care of the first front diff. but only parts on the second. They admitted to a fault in the design but only paid for parts. The tranny issue was caused by a bearing failure in the secondary tranny and they said "nahh we can't help"!
