"Nothing stops this unit! Moved 24" trees on wet hills. Dug a geothermal and sewage field. Dug a hole to bury my bunker/shelter. Like a Timex, it just keeps ticking!"

"NA."

"The mower deck is disconcerting to say the least. I wish that I would have given it more thought when purchasing. The deck needs to be a drive on design. I hurt my back wrestling with it to attach it and I consider myself to be in good physical shape. The discharge fell off and I have welded it twice. It is now useless since it cannot be welded again. An optional rubber discharge would be a nice option."

"This tractor has done everything asked of it and then some. I had a few problems with quality issues, most notably some of the hydraulic lines. When they failed and were replaced, it was very easy to see the quality difference---the replacement hoses (local hydraulic shop) were obviously much heavier duty. I also had an annoying issue with the ground strap/cable being a bit too short on this model and year. It eventually failed due to normal use & vibration. I understand that this cable was made longer in subsequent years. Later versions of this tractor had a much better dashboard set-up. The gauges on the 2300 series are exposed to snow, which makes them impossible to see during blowing, and there is no provision for a light on the tachometer. I also had to add a temp gauge, as this model came without one. Overall, however, I've been extremely happy with its performance, whether it be snow blowing (front-mount blower), digging with the backhoe, mowing with the mid-mount mower deck, or lifting & hauling with the front-end loader."

"All in all a good small acre tractor."

"For what it is, it's a beast."

"Bought the tractor used with 350 hrs on it. I mainly use it around the cottage for yard work and landscaping. It's been very reliable to date. The hydaulics could be stronger, but generally I'm very happy with the machine."

"Excellent machine. I did a tremendous amount of research here on Tractorbynet as well as looking at several makes and models in the new and used market via dealers and individuals. The information I found here is literally priceless. I was both prepared and educated in my decision. I mainly considered 3 brands in the class I was looking at. John Deere, Kubota and Massey Ferguson. After educating myself as well as spending seat time in all 3, I chose the Massey based upon an very good product at an affordable price as well as the quicker response time on the hydraulics and integrated backhoe. I chose used vs new only because I found the tractor I purchased at an ridiculously low price due to the passing of the owner. Otherwise, I likely would've purchased new."

"I originally bought this tractor to maintain a 300 ft. driveway on a 3-acre property. Two years later, I am managing a woodlot on a 144-acre property. I would've bought a bigger tractor for the current property, but she had done most of what I have asked her to do. She accepted a 5-ft brush cutter and a timber winch. Loading the tires made a huge difference in her performance. My biggest problem was that driving her through a 12-acre field while mowing allowed grass to wind up so tightly around her drive shaft that it got inside the transmission (ruining the seal) and plugging the filter, resulting in a 2-month search for a seal and a $2000 repair bill. Service in my area my been horrible. It took my dealer 2-months to find a $12 replacement seal for the tractor. Design-wise, the location of the oil filter on the bottom of the tractor makes it easy to access, but exposes it to potential damage, especially given the relatively low ground clearance. I drive it in the woods reluctantly, for fear of hitting a stump and trading the oil filter off."

"For value and price, Massey is my choice."
