Massey 575

[JLTate]

If you already know the machine and the owner, I would not hesitate. As the saying goes "it's worth that all day long"

The chap who owns it now hasn't had it that long. He bought it for a project - finished it so tractors done with. It's been a local tractor though.

If it was a Ford it would already be in the shed

Struggle to lift a ton ,,we had a 575 and a 675 and used the 80 loader ,,could lift a 500kg bag of fert but it made the back end abit light ,it couldnt lift a ton

80 loader will easily lift a ton

It,s a fair chance its a part syncromesh box 3 and 4 being syncro its a french built one the syncro,s in them were a bit vulnerable to abuse with a heavy handed driver

Is that the ones with syncro made by porches? When banner lane was on strike

The one we had couldnt ,even on the 675 when it was new it wouldnt ,tryed two bags of fert but it was a no go

Ours wouldn’t lift a heavy chopped wet round bale, but will lift a 600kg bag no problems, tractor has twin pumps, both in good condition

There are 2 different versions of MF 80 long and short frame, one can lift more, I will look in my book, if I can find it

Thats the ones .

The leaflet dosent realey tell the true story remember the short loader is on the 3 cylinder tractor with less hyd pressure . It wasnt that widely known but their were bigger rams available which stepped the lift capacity up .,A ton pallet on a 168 without power steering took a bit of handling.

 

[Mrs Brown]

These heavy lift rams had fancy pipework on them ,they looked like double acting but weren't.

 

[SMID]

That was them, we used them double acting against the recommendations

Only thing ever beat my 80 was a scrap Mondeo, I just stuck the muck fork through the back window, and I was pointed downhill, it did lift it once I got at it a different angle


Edit, 1455-1703 kgs according to Google for a Mondeo

Spoke with in laws last night. Apparently there seriously contemplating selling up due to health scares / issues and the area getting abit much for them. So there hesitant about getting it as they might be looking at somewhere smaller.

In which case Vicki's horse will more than likely be coming here

Still think I'm going to offer £4,000 and see what he says. Won't be going anymore.
