Dennis,
Changing formats and even charging for the right to post photos is one thing, but charging for reading more than a couple of lines is not alright.

I may be deaf but I don't think that I am. I can hear pretty well. I don't wear anything on my ears when I'm using my tractor. The reason is that I don't think it is loud. I never have any ringing in my ears or any kind of sound change when I get off the tractor at all. I have a MF 1250.

Talked to my Massey dealer last week. He gave me some pricing on compacts. They just got new prices in the last month and to my surprise they have went done quite a bit. I priced out a 1440-4 with Massey loader and backhoe and they were about $2000 cheaper now than they were in November. Like I said he said that he had just got the new prices. Have your dealer price you one out for order and see if it isn't cheaper. It may not be if he is just trying to get rid of what he has on the lot.

Make sure that your dealer has the most current price listing. I was at my dealer yesterday and repricing the same things that we priced in Novemeber. The same tractor, loader and backhoe had went down a whole lot. I want to stress a whole lot. He said that this was new pricing that he had just received. BTW he is a Massey dealer.

Billy,
My lines don't go as far as you but I was told that the voltage drop(?) would be to much. That is why I had to go from 150 to 166 hp. BTW, I don't know how your battery is mounted but, mine was in a steel frame. I was always told that the battery would discharge into the concrete if you sat the battery on it . Now for what I am getting at. I think that the battery will also leach through the steel in to the concrete. Several folks around here have had the batterys not hold a charge. What we have done and what the installers are now doing is putting a piece of plywood under the battery and also installing a automatic trickle charger on the battery. Make sure that it is automatic though, you don't want to cook your battery to death. I got mine a W/M for about $20 or was it $30. I can't remember, all that I know for sure is that it won't charge the battery if it doesn't need it. The last thing that you need is for the genset not to start if you need it.

Wow, I had missed Murf but had thought that he was really busy again or out of the country. It never occured to me that he might be haveing a med problem. I think that I can say that everyone here misses him. I would like to wish him a speedy recovery and hope that he returns to JPlan quickly.

If there is any way that we could see some pictures of the parts that are broken, we might be able to come up with some creative ideas to help.

There is no tractor lemon law as such. BUT there is the Federal Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act. If you would still like to get rid of this tractor have your lawyer look in to this act. It has been used successfully on several lemon tractors and other equipment.

Wal-Mart like your tractor dealer, has suggested pricing. the individual store may lower the prices to match the local competition. If there is no local competition then the price is the price set by Bentonville.

When at the Massey dealer look at a MF243. It is a better tractor with more capability, but can still be had at a reasonable price. You can get 4wd in it also. You will need 4wd, if you are doing any heavy loader work with this size of tractor.

I would like to know how Agco/Massey/etc. stands behind their warranties. Has anyone had a major problem that the Corporate boys have been involved in? If you have, how did they handle it? Do you think that they handled it the way they should have?

craig56,
I just sent you a e-mail with a schematic of how the loader and backhoe are connected on my tractor. Both with and with out the backhoe, the rear lift will work when connected like these show. Look them over and see if they help.

My dealer said that the loader off of a MF 1250 would fit if the attaching brackets were changed to the brackets for a 1433. I don't know if that will help any or not. The 1400 series are so new, that the after market may not have them in there book yet. I would contact some of the manufactures and ask them. I bet that they have them ready or are in the works.

Brian,
Tell us a little about the six acres. Is it rough, smooth, rocky? How tall is the grass? Is there brush or small bushes that are being mowed? How tall is the grass and what is the density of grass?

One of the reason that the tractor manufactures don't increase the weight of the compacts is because, If they shipped them that much heavier we wouldn't be able to use them for as many different operations. If they were all 1-2000 pounds heavier, it would change if they could be used for lawn maintenance etc. By making them light they are letting the customer set it up of their individual need.

Thanks, thats what I needed to know. Looks like I will go ahead and get the power shuttle. BTW, what is the difference in clutch life between the two? How much longer can I expect between clutch changes? 20% 30%?

In the poultry business, we sometimes use acid is used to neutralize the ammonia on the house floors. I would think that a vinegar solution might do the trick. I don't know, but it would be worth a try and it is cheap.

All AGCO and MF compacts are made by Iseki. If memory serves me right, the ST35 is the same tractor as the MF 1433 that has replaced the MF 1250. <br>
