Been running a Ford 3600 for the last 10 years which actually has a Massey loader on it. This loader is just ran from one of those plates under the drivers seat.
Picked up a pretty decent looking Massey 275 which has a Kelley 800 loader on it. This loader is ran by a pump made by Cross that's mounted to the front of the engine. The speed of this loader is really fast, kind of two fast because if you don't ease off the controls it comes to an abrupt stop and clunks and twists.
The Massey was supposed to replace the Ford and I was going to sell the Ford to recoup some of my money. Well I went to use the Massey today for the first time to pluck a 1000lb piece of equipment off a trailer using bucket clamp forks and it couldn't do it. It was kind of tricky because the pallet is around 8' long but with the massey I couldn't get pallet high enough to clear the trailer, and yes when empty the bucket goes pretty high.
So I put the forks on the Ford and it plucked it right off. So anything I should be looking at on the Massey before I sell it? Not being able to lift that much will be a problem.

It increased the farm productivity and, in general, made life easier because more work could be done with this 'mechanical beast'. My dad dreamed that some day he would have his own tractor with every implement he could get. When he rea
