I'm so glad you finally got a Massey Ferguson video for us Massey Ferguson fans brings back alot of great memories when I was alot younger, great job Jason an looking forward for more videos.
Thank you for watching. I am always looking for Massey Ferguson’s. They are harder to find. I filmed this one 50 miles from my house on the 4th of July and was late to a family cook out to get it filmed on the last field of the year. I hope to get a Massey 1805 filmed this year. My top priority on my filming wish list is to find a 2775 and 2805 to feature.
Great video. Sends me back to early 80`s when I helped a neighbor who bought a brand new 4840. I was the first person to do fall tillage as our neighbor was behind on combining. So dad helped with our combine and I drove his 4840 with a chisel plow. We had a Versatile 935 but I liked driving the Massy... probably because it was new.
That machine is still in very nice shape, and one thing I noticed about it that we don't often see on older tractors for a variety of reasons........The rubber all matches. 🙂👍
They built the high horse power tractors there through 1982. Other big tractors included the 2805, 2775, 2405 etc…. The 4wds moved to Canada and a new range was released from the Massey factory in France for 1983.
There used to be a few of the 4wd Massey's in the area of North MS that my step father and his family farm, from the older 1800s up to the 4900. He's the only one left running Massey Ferguson tractors now, an 1100 that gets run almost every day and an 1130 that has become the backup loader tractor. I take the 1130 to some local tractor shows and plow days in the spring and fall when I can.
Reminds me of the previous generation Massey 1805 I operated in the late 70's. That had the 3208 V-8 Caterpillar. Love the sound of that machine but these 903 and 855 Cummins have a great sound too.
Still running an 1805 MF, 1976 vintage, with 3208 Cat, 210 hp. Use it for digging primarily, 30 foot cultivator. This is on a small farm, Red River Valley. It isn't pretty, just basic... but it gets the job done. Check out JT's Barn & Grill.... he is still running an 1805 also. Nice looking tractor!
I like running the Massy Fergersons but all the dealers went out of business around here had to switch to John Deere. Great video keep them coming . Get as Manny Massey's as you can they might stay around.
When i was a kid back in SW Scotland i remember being in awe when our silage contractor showed up with his first MF articulated chopper tractor, think it was a 1200, seemed huge to me, then i think he traded up into the 2400 range, but by then he was running a Claas Jaguar pull type chopper with the engine on the drawbar. Never saw a 4000 series till i came to Canada
The 1200 is a neat tractor. Especially as a chopper tractor. Unfortunately it was never offered in the US or Canada. I would like to film one some day.
Love it! My intro to the big MF 4wd was the ertl models in the 80s which I thought they got wrong until the internet years later revealed they didn't. Yep, they do have huge cabs. Much handier to give the wife, kids, or a tech a ride along. Probably won't see one in real so Thanks for the info vid!
I’ve never seen a pivot, or articulated Massey Ferguson tractor but have seen a V-8 Massey Ferguson tractor, a 1155. One of my cousins had one. Don’t know what happened with it.
Too bad they don’t build stuff as good as they did in the 70s and 80s. Never been in a Massey 4wd. Versatiles, Steiger, and john Deere were more common in my part of the world.
Never seen one of those in person. Doesn't seem many farmers in Mississippi wanted a Massey over 110 horsepower. All you see down here is John Deere, Case IH, International, a few Steigers, and Kubota.
I grew up in Western New York. Massey 4wds we’re a real contender there. The number one Massey 4wd dealer is Kuhn Equipment in Arthur, IL. They sold a bunch.
There is power loss through the drivetrain. Just like the the advertised horsepower number your personal vehicle has is it’s engine horsepower, the number it would make at the wheels is significantly less. A lot of higher horsepower FWA’s and 4wd’s are electronically limited to a certain horsepower because often what the tractor is capable of making at the pto is not necessarily needed.
A 30 foot no-till great plains drill like the one we have, the one in this video, weighs 22,000 pounds... empty. And we have a lot of hill ground too, I doubt any 100 horsepower tractor can pull it, our 200 horsepower 8950 Valtra can only handle it on fairly good level ground. A large 4wd articulated tractor is just right for this drill.
Tractors oddly did not come with many lights until the 1990’s and more so in the 2000’s. Head lights were fairly new in the lates 70’s. Most tractors previously just had fender lights.
I have never heard about complaints with the 903 in the Massey. I own tow Steigers with 903s a 1974 Turbo Tiger I and a 1975 Turbo Tiger II. Both tractors run great as they approach 50 years old.
The vt-903 as a truck engine wasn't very good. They had them at 500+ hp. In farm tractors around the mid 300 horse range they seem fantastic. I've heard of them going 20,000 hours.
Massey Ferguson made some tough equipment! Very well built and looked good too!
The 4000s are great tractors. Thank you for watching.

Love to see 2805 in action
Agree, would love to see a 2805!
@@bigtractorpower Can't wait
@@bigtractorpower yes a 2775 or 2805 would be awesome. We use to have a MF1085, 2640, 2745 and a 4800 20 years ago!! All gone now!!!
Brings back memories of a man in my area that used Massey tractors like this.
Thank you for watching. Massey built a good 4wd.
Great video. Sends me back to early 80`s when I helped a neighbor who bought a brand new 4840. I was the first person to do fall tillage as our neighbor was behind on combining.

Restored my 4880, new paint, new interior, upgraded front diff, and outback auto steer also all led lighting
I like to see older masseys at work👍😁 thank you for the video👍👍
Amazing video
Thank you for watching.
That machine is still in very nice shape, and one thing I noticed about it that we don't often see on older tractors for a variety of reasons........The rubber all matches. 🙂👍
Great video! Massy is a very good tractor and is under rated by so many.
It sure is! Thank you for watching.
Thanks Jason,
I did not know MF built some of there tractors in Detroit Mi. Learn something new every day. Boe

Nice looking Massey,yup still use some Massey s my favorite tractors
Thank you for watching.

We had a MF 1155. V8 no cab. I can't remember the engine specs, but I loved operating that tractor
The 1155 is a tough tractor. Very nice.

I hope to get an 1805 filmed in 2023. Thank you for watching.
Very nice video ! Thanks for sharing. Massey Ferguson was looking good.
All of our tractors are Massey Ferguson. We do use a 4880 to pull the krone big pack baler. Should be able to find a video or two on RUclips
Very cool. The 4880 is probably the best 4000. I will check it out baling. That sounds very cool.
Another great video Jason !
Love Massey Fergusons
😁👍👍

I'd sure like to drive that Massey. Nice looking tractor and planter. No better way to start your day than with a BTP video 🙂.
Thank you Scott.

We have a massey Ferguson 285 on our farm solid old tractor and it pulls a lot. Would like to have an 1105 Massey one day.

The 8 track player would be a must in 1980.
My father had one in his ‘81 IH 1086
You know it 😁. I have a Steiger Series III 8 track that came with your new tractor to play in the cab to go over its features.
Love it! My intro to the big MF 4wd was the ertl models in the 80s which I thought they got wrong until the internet years later revealed they didn't. Yep, they do have huge cabs. Much handier to give the wife, kids, or a tech a ride along. Probably won't see one in real so Thanks for the info vid!
Great Video,I like my Ferguson's...👍👍
😁👍👍👍👍
I believe the Cooke family is the only ones around here with these old masseys. Glad to see you made it out for more footage of these tractors.
It’s a great farm to visit. Do you farm in that area? I like your avatar with the AC 7000 and NH round baler.
@@bigtractorpower me and my dad farm in Greenville and a community called Weir south of Greenville.
GPS on a Massey 4900!! What will they think of next!!
😁👍

Jason, a.m. stands for amplitude modulation and p.m. is frequency, modulation
Too bad they don’t build stuff as good as they did in the 70s and 80s. Never been in a Massey 4wd. Versatiles, Steiger, and john Deere were more common in my part of the world.
You planning on getting your 40 yr old articulated tractor out this spring and run it some?

👋 hi 👋 from Dexter,Missouri
My friend. Super amazein video. As alAways.
Have a super amazein 🌃night.
Be safe on 🛣️ roads 🛣️
😁👍👍
Id love to own of these , do u know how many were made?
I do not know how many were produced. I would guess 800 to 1,000 units.
Hello! Awesome V8 in a MF iconic tractor!
I like finding V8 engine tractors.
@@bigtractorpower 👌
I do not understand why the PTO horsepower would be different than the engine horsepower.
There is power loss through the drivetrain. Just like the the advertised horsepower number your personal vehicle has is it’s engine horsepower, the number it would make at the wheels is significantly less. A lot of higher horsepower FWA’s and 4wd’s are electronically limited to a certain horsepower because often what the tractor is capable of making at the pto is not necessarily needed.
We still run a 4800 Massey the smallest one of the series
Very cool. I have only seen one 4800 in person. I sure would like to film one to feature.
I like big Massey's.
It’s a well built tractor.
Big bud tractors coming back. Rome mfg building them 625 hp coming you can check my info .
You coming to 400 thousand viewers
The big 400K is closing in. Probably 396,000 by tomorrow. It’s exciting so many people like tractors. Thank you for watching.
Good video
Thank you for watching.
Still running a 4800 and 4840
The 5200 was bigger, but not many were made.
Have one that looks identical. It's fun for about an hour. We only use it when we really need it. 10000hrs and getting tired.
Overkill tractor for a 30ft seeder. 100hp tractor would do the job. Nice video and great tractor!
A 30 foot no-till great plains drill like the one we have, the one in this video, weighs 22,000 pounds... empty. And we have a lot of hill ground too, I doubt any 100 horsepower tractor can pull it, our 200 horsepower 8950 Valtra can only handle it on fairly good level ground. A large 4wd articulated tractor is just right for this drill.
Is it a V engine in the tractor?
Yes. Vt903 Cummins. It does nothing better than turn raw fuel into pure noise. Has to run 2000 and 2400 rpms
Yes it is a Cummins 903 V8 from the factory. Good running tractor.
There just was not many Massey tractors near me. The dealer network had a hole in it!
We had neighbors on either side of us years ago that had Massey tractor
Very nice.
No Plastic!
All steel 😁👍
I noticed the tac is not working...a true MF
👍👍
Thank you James.
That tractor needs more lights.
Tractors oddly did not come with many lights until the 1990’s and more so in the 2000’s. Head lights were fairly new in the lates 70’s. Most tractors previously just had fender lights.
We added two big light bars on the front and rear of the cab up top, works out pretty good.
I always heard that they were McConnell tractors, with Massey Ferguson paint.
The 5200 that came after the 4900 was built by McConnell. I have a video on the 5200 posted at ruclips.net/video/GtFAbANXHQU/видео.html
8 track player yikes lol. Now everyone uses ear wigs cell phone music. I had a 2675 Massey first tract I bought.
I’ve always heard the 903’s were junk?
We never had to many problems. Just got underpowered for us towards the mid 2000s. Miss that tractor!
I have never heard about complaints with the 903 in the Massey. I own tow Steigers with 903s a 1974 Turbo Tiger I and a 1975 Turbo Tiger II. Both tractors run great as they approach 50 years old.
@@bigtractorpower pretty neat…you’re getting quite the collection of V8-powered FWD’s!
Change the coolant filter regularly and they'll go forever.
The vt-903 as a truck engine wasn't very good. They had them at 500+ hp. In farm tractors around the mid 300 horse range they seem fantastic. I've heard of them going 20,000 hours.
