With the new Massey Ferguson® 1700 Series, customers can create a tractor for their specific needs and budget. Here are just a few of the options from which to choose.

The 1700 Series includes six models from 36 to 59 hp.

Each model runs on a new diesel engine from Mitsubishi® that features a turbocharger with intercooler for greater combustion potential. Such design allows for more power that’s produced extremely efficiently and meets all EPA requirements to be Tier 4 final emissions compliant.

Transmission choices include either a mechanical 12 x 12 power shuttle or a three-range electronic-servo hydrostatic (HST) option.

For use with mid-mount mowers and front-mount attachments, a mid PTO is available as an option on all MF1700 tractor models.

Customers also have a choice of an open-station platform with a flat floor or a newly designed, climate-controlled factory cab.

Models equipped with the servo HST include:

Max Speed Control: allows the operator to set the maximum desired speed using a simple rotary dial, providing tighter control over a precise speed range.

Response Control: lets the operator adjust how aggressively the transmission reacts when a travel pedal is pressed.

Electronic Cruise Control: lets the operator set a travel speed.

Stall Guard: automatically monitors the engine’s performance and reduces travel speed when necessary to maintain engine power and torque to prevent engine stalling.

The standard 540-rpm independent rear PTO is also gentle on the engine and powertrain. A button on the dash allows the operator to modulate the PTO startup for a slow, “feathered” engagement of heavier implements to reduce shock load and prevent driveline damage.
