It’s easy to see why these tractors work so hard.For more than 160 years, MasseyFerguson has been getting the job done.And every model in our 1600 and 1500Series continues that heritage, by workinghard – and working smart.Take our classic 3-point hitch, patentedby Harry Ferguson in 1926. It allows youto use a wide range of implements andoffers precise position and responsecontrol. Or consider our productive,push-button 540 rpm rear independentPTO and 2,000 rpm mid PTO. Theymake operating tillers, rotary cutters,brooms and snow blowers a simple task.Even our hydraulics offer somethingspecial. Economical and easy to use, theyearn their keep by providing increasedpressure and oil flow that helps you liftmore, work faster and get far more donein far less time.While having more fun.A simple adjustment lets you adjustthe lower link arm to add more tilt torear implements, for more accuratecontrol on tricky terrain.Standard extendable lower links withtelescopic draft link ends let youconnect to any 3-point implementquickly and easily.Levers for the three available rearremote valves are tiered and angledtoward the operator, for convenientoperation of rear implements.Telescopic stabilizers make it simpleto hook up and adjust side-to-sidesway for each type of implement.

Independent PTO System.This system is specifically designed toincrease productivity, reliability andsafety. But another built-in benefit isthat it actually increases the workinglife of your implements by allowingthem to function at their most efficient.The hydraulic PTO clutch featurespush-button control, so you can engageor disengage both rear and (if equipped)mid PTO on the go – no clutching, noreaching for levers.while protecting the entire system andyour tools. So it’s perfect for use withhigh-inertia implements like rotarycutters and aerators, ensuring a higherlevel of driveline protection.And for added operator protectionon every model in our 1500 and1600 Series, the auto shut-off andneutral-start systems come standardwith the PTO system.The rear and mid PTO run independentlyor simultaneously, so you can powera snow blower while operating a sand/salt spreader or mow and fertilize at thesame time. In addition, on our 1600Series models, you can control the rateof engagement by simply pressing abutton next to the PTO button. Thisautomatically modulates the flow of oilto the PTO clutch, eliminating the shockload that can happen with lesser systemsPumped-Up HydraulicsTwo powerful pumps work hard in tandem – one to power the steering and a separatepump to feed auxiliary hydraulics – moving more gallons of oil per minute to loaders,backhoes and snow blowers for fast operation and quicker response.PAGE 23Work Tools – PTO

Get your arms around more work. Loads of it.We’ve custom-designed two hardworkingloaders to fit our 1600 Seriestractors (DL120 and DL130). Threeloaders (L90, L100 and DL120) matchup with our 1500 Series.Attaching and removing your Massey Ferguson loader is as easy as 1-2-3.You might say they all work shoulder toshoulder. They’re clearly more efficient.And they’re more productive. Why? Gladyou asked. To make the perfect match,we began with the tractor, pushing thehydraulics to provide higher flow ratesand system pressures. Then we made surethe tractor and loader together deliveredoptimum performance on key issues, likemaximizing lift capacities and minimizingcycle times.Step 1Lower the parking stands. With the loader lowered,use the bucket tilt to release the pressure on thepins. Remove the pins.Step 2Use the tractor hydraulics to raise the loader frameout of the mounts.Step 3Disconnect the hydraulic hoses and back away fromthe loader.On our 1600 Series (as well as ourMF1533 and MF1540), we also positionedthe loader close to the axle to minimizewear and tear. And we incorporated sleeknew styling and a curved arm design toallow an unobstructed view of your work.Because when you see better, you workmore confidently – and more efficiently.Easy to attach and easy to remove, theseloaders are so perfectly compatible withthe machines, they’re even configured tomake access to service points easier.Pallet Forks Bale Spears Pin-Type Quick Attach Skid-Steer Quick Attach Heavy-Duty Bucket withCutting EdgeLoader Model L90 L100 DL120 DL130Max. lift height @ pivot pin: in.
