MF 1100

the problems with the Multi power??? not much on an 1130 that I rembember.

the Hydralic system on all of ours were not as good as any of the Green companies tractors we've had.. but the down pressure 3pt is a good thing... but they stopped that with the next models.. bummer.

I know the Gas 1100's had some crank issues' but it was live able..

I have an 1100 Massey and when I hear the complaints about losing brakes when the engine stalls or other quirks that were mentioned below I just wonder if these people ever read the operators manual. I like to say the Multipower is tougher then any other 2 speed hydraulic shift. The hydraulics are better then Deere's and easier to work on. It has a hydraulic seat, an unloading valve for easy starting, and you can check and add oil, trans fluid and fuel while standing on the ground. Best of all they are cheap reliable HP.

Neighbor had all Massey's and he really liked them. They were run hard and put away wet and did not seem to be broke down much. I understand the 1130 was a turbo 1100, with some internal mods, spray cooled pistons for instance. You have ground and transmission pto. Same neighbor had a 1000 to 540 pto adaptor so he could bale hay at idle.
