"This is the second tractor for me, I have not found anything that is a deal breaker for me. I have the cab, backhoe and front-end loader. I honestly figured it was going to dig more on the toy side, was I wrong. It has plenty of power in hard clay soil, I was really surprised. "

"Two problems (post warranty): First: Dirt in fuel tank. Fix by removing tank and cleaning, Had screen custom made at filler opening. Dealer had nothing to offer. Second Problem: Seems the Woodward Solenoid may need replacing; a common problem, apparently. Access to replace is tough."

REVIEWER'S ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Pros: Easy driving. Cons: Access to maintenance, removing loader awkward. Type of User: Homeowner 10-50 Acres Location: USA OR I also considered buying:

"Tractor has done more than I ever thought it could, and is tougher than I expected. We use this in our Organic Farm and Vineyard. Moved 185 yards of Rock for Landscape. Moved more dirt than I can count. Never had anything it couldn't lift, or handle. 90+ time in 4 Low and plug along at 2000 rpms. Winter moves BIG SNOW like now tomorrow. Pushed, I mean pushed a 300' straight path in one shot that was over 2' deep. Just muscled it down the driveway. No spinning out. The extra bolt on 350 per side wheel weights are a must. I just got to the complete fluid swap from break in. I have friends who paid more for other big name machines and can't keep up with me in similar size. I upgraded to the skid steer front end system. Best thing I ever did. Way more bucket and better built than the one that comes on it. Talked a neighbor into one, and he bought the 40 HP next size up from mine w/backhoe---LOVES it. Only thing I forgot to have put on is the REAR hydraulic hook ups. Massey does make a quick Bolt on version. I just forgot. I "

"This is my first tractor. I have found it to be excellent in every way, but have no experience with other machines with which to compare. It is extremely fuel efficient. It has excellent power. I snowblow, mow a field, do some logging with a winch and some rototilling. The machine doesn't even break a sweat."

Pros: Fuel economy, power, work platform. Cons: Limited tool box. Type of User: Homeowner 100+ Acres Location: USA ME I also considered buying:

"We grow choose and cut Christmas trees on 17 acres and we also produce compost (from horse manure, wood chips, etc). Our 1533 with FEL performs a variety of chores from ground preparation to snow removal and pesticide application to compost woodrow building and dump truck loading. It's a good little tractor but we've outgrown it already. I'm regretting not getting something in the 65-80 HP range as this tractor seems to need a little more butt for my needs. It's probably a great tractor for the hobby farm. It does work hard and isn't afraid of much. Very reliable and I've never had an issue with it---it's better than most people I know. The only thing I dislike intensely are the ergonomics of the controls. It's difficult to keep an eye on the three-point mounted equipment with knocking my knee into the FEL controller (and commanding it to dig into the ground causing an abrupt stop) or dragging a butt cheek into the PTO control and disengaging it. Sometimes I can do both :) This tractor is simply not engineering for large males (I'm 6'1" and 240 lbs) to operate comfortably. I wish it had a hydraulic remote... Other than that, I've generally liked this tractor and can continue to live with it if my accountant says I can't upgrade... Honey?"

REVIEWER'S ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Pros: Reliability, guts, fit and finish. Cons: Control layout/ergonomics. Type of User: Commercial Farmer Location: USA MD I also considered buying:

"My only other tractor was an old Ferguson TO-35. My 1533 w/bucket was like going from a motor scooter to a Cadillac. It has performed very well. I've only had it stuck once and a neighbor with a 1540 MF pulled me out. Nothing else to compare it with, hence, the above ratings. Changed the oil and hydraulics myself and thanks to the forum I learned where and how to bleed the hyd. system."

REVIEWER'S ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Pros: Easy to operate and service. Cons: Hyd. filter only available through MF and very expensive. Type of User: Homeowner 10-50 Acres Location: USA NC I also considered buying:
