Massey Ferguson 25 MF25 telehandler

[dj1991]

Hello, does anyone happen to have a manual for this machine or any information on it. Supposedly a matbro telestar in mf colours but different axles and dash layout according to great explorations. Simply looking to find out where 4wd button or lever is etc, any info thanks

Drove one once , and to be honest i cant actually remember where it was but a pull lever down by the seat rings a bell .

I think its on left side of seat .good strong loader and based on the maasy 50hx digger wit a turbo on the engine

I believe we had one years ago, or might have been an MF24
Cant remember it having selesctable 4wd, I do remember prop shaft falling off on the road and smashing against everything!

We used to have one. The 4wd lever was to the left of the seat and operated 4wd via a cable. The MF 25 was a blend of Matbro Telestar chassis/boom and Massey industrial axels, transmission and a Perkins engine (50HX).
Not a bad machine in its day.

We had one, a lot more refined machine than the Ford based Matbro. Sadly the pikies liberated ours.

the lever to the left of my seat is for the boom extension,
any idea what the buttons are for, esp the one beside the key on the left hand side near my knee?

 

[Dim Reaper]

Our machine had 2 levers to left of the seat, one for boom in/out and and the other for 4wd.
The switch near your knee I think is the brake decluch switch which when selected disconnects drive when you use the brake to allow you to rev the engine to speed the hydraulics up. It’s over 20 years since I drove one so it’s a bit hazey.
The next three switches are heater/demister, work lights and hazard flashers.

sorry I dont have a lever beside where my boom lever is ?
and diff lock appears to be connected to nothing/needs freed.
I doubt the 4wd would be permanent in these> shaft turns when driving but im led to believe turns anyway?
would it make the cut wider on her?>

David, from what i remember theirs a hole beside the lever for the boom however i always thought that were the lever for the third service went (the lever is under the seat of her)

Hi I know this is probably a bit of a long shot be we have a Massey 25 telehandler that we use down at the silage clamps and the exhaust silencer rusted away. I can’t seem to find anything similar to replace it and was wondering if anyone knew what they were off or were they made specially for them.

@norse He is your man for one of these

 

[norse]

20 years since we had one,definitely 2 levers to the left of the seat,one is boom extend/retract and the other is 4x4 lever,not sure if the silencer was unique to mf 25 or same as anything else

That would be brilliant if you could, I only need the parts section really if you have that bit.
