I moved up from a GC1725m to an 1825e SS (with 3rd function and a 4in1 bucket) I liked my GC for what it was, but for moving weight with the GC found it to be tippy. Plus the limited lift capacity , spelled the end for my GC. The 1825 is a whole new animal. It's nice to be able to handle a half-ton log and more. I have zero issues with it "only being 25hp". This tractor is a beast
Nicely done video… I just received my 1825 E today. I bought the shuttle transmission model. Been driving tractors since 1950s and I like the gear shift. My first Massey Ferguson, we were exclusively Ford on the farm and logging…
Hey that was a good video! & the M-F 1825E is a very nice upgrade from your 1700 series . I bought a M-F 1526 in 2018 for the same reason over the 1700 series for the simple reason to work with my 1 ton dump truck & I have a 1959 M-F 50 to do all the log skidding & with a log splitter & no rops so I can get into the woods easier & both tractors compliment each other on what they can do & can't do & nothing beats seat time enjoy your new Mighty-Fine = M-F 1825E , & thanks for the video.
Exact tractor to the 1734e. Only difference is the loader. Ive had mine since 2016 and not one issue. I don't care how cold it is outside she starts the same every time. I personally love the engine sound on these. Feels like an old school diesel. Ive never used the clutch for shifting. Ive always just shifted the speed range lever unless you feel binding on the lever. You shift at a stopped position so there is no point in using the clutch. There's nothing to disengage. Its bigger purpose for your PTO disengaging of implements.
@@Joe-fi2ir Im sorry to hear that. Ive never heard anybody have issues with this tractor. I have 2 friends that bought this exact model off my recommendation and they love it. Maybe you got a lemon. Only thing done to mine in 7 years is a new battery.
You made a wise decision! I still have my Massey 1533 I bought new in 2010, best damn tractor for its size. I bought a Case 580N, and have a D7 cat, all of which covers just about everything I need, but I'll never part with the 1533. I have 700 plus hours on it and never had an issue, and those are hard hours, everyone of them. Oh, blew a line once. I live in the Sierra and it's all downhill to work on the cliffside to the creek. Skidded many a load of logs, 3 to 4 at a time up a 40% grade. The Massey never complained one bit, the hydro tranny always kept the wheels spinning with probably 2 to 3000 lbs behind it dragging, oh, and a full load in the bucket for ballast.
Very good walk around of the tractor. Looking to get a second Massey Ferguson tractor that's a bit smaller than what I have. This looks like the one for me.
I have a brand new 1723 e like you had and I agree it just doesn't really get the job done I'm also looking at the 18 to upgrade not sure that I like where the fuel tank is I also would like to have seen a rubber mat where your feet go instead of just the bare metal they kind of cheap out on that and a couple other things I've noticed
Congrats. I got the same tractor, just got my 50 hour service. I don't think the transmission issue is a "new transmission" thing. I think that's just the way it is. Just put it into a gear it is willing to go into, let the clutch out and tap the throttle. Then put the clutch back in and make your gear shift. It is on my short list of issues I have. I love the tractor but this is annoying at times.
Dont need to push clutch to change gear. That is for your pto engaging. If its not going into gear. raise your bucket up or rock it a bit and itll go. Also LOAD YOUR REAR TIRES!!! Itll change your life. Takes all tippyness out!
A Very Comprehensive Vidio Sir. You must be grinning ear to ear. EXCELLENT Choice. Got the bigger brother, a 1736m power-shuttle ( the "Cadillac version"). Plan on getting the 1835e shuttle shift with backhoe.Because my other 1988 M-F 1020 is tired (No loader too). Did test drive your Tractor compaired to the 1835e shuttle, and it is WAY MORE QUIET. Don't like that hydro-whine, and indirect diesel Clatter. Will take my chances with the computer,complexity & 2500.oo$ price hike. "My TRACTORS " have to Always have TWO BRAKE PEDALS ( gear drive HAS turning brakes)! Please keep the "Action" coming. Thank you for the great Video Sir and happy safe tractoring .
I went with the 1825 because the tractor weighs about 800 lbs more than the 1526. The 1526 is roughly 1800 lbs total and the 1825 is 2600 lbs total. Makes a big difference for running implements.
@@garyj5943 I really like the manual with the shuttle shift, I would not trade the pulling power for the hydro, and I do a lot of loader work, love the manual!!
Way to go Aaron. Gears are where it's at ,not an overgrown "lawnmower ",just a "REAL" TRACTOR. Plan on getting the 1835e shuttle ( little more power) but way-way more quiet, & more complexity (willing to take this chance again). It will be "added" to the 3 tractor fleet, [ two Massey-Ferguson's & a kubogy]. Way good choice you have.
Have you had a bush hog on it yet. How is it on power for its size. Very interested in getting one just not sure about the 25 hp but don’t like all the computerized stuff above 25 hp. Thank you for the video can’t nothing on the 1825 actually doing work
I am Interested in buying one of these tractors. Do you know how wide it is? And how long it is? Cause I'm trying to put it in a shipping container storage.
@@PINEHILLOUTDOORS33 The M series is built in Japan, but every E series I’ve seen says made in Indonesia. Though to be fair the Iseki engine and transmission could still be made in Japan even though the tractor assembly happens in Indonesia. Either way it’s a nice looking tractor. Hope it serves you well
I really don't like where those fuel tanks are at I think that sometimes when I'm in the woods I'm going to tear them up it the transmission shifter should have been something like a solid round steel rod instead of just that floppy flat metal mine wiggle like that and it does have problems sometimes getting in gear
You won’t find any new tractors this size with a temp gauge. That’s old news. Every one has a temp indicator that comes on if it’s overheating. That’s all that’s needed.
I live in the desert, it was 114 today. I was making a lot of dust and kicking up brush, I agree with you that a temp gauge would be nice. Every time I've checked my radiator screen it was a mess. I would like to know I have an issue before I overheat.

Awesome, I just bought one, can't wait to use it.
GREAT MACHINES MASSEY FERGUSON has been my reliable favorite brand since the 1960s. GREAT choice the finest brand on the market ....
Thanks for watching, I agree!
Nicely done video…

I bought one of these 1825's last spring. It's a great little tractor!
I just got mine and love it , I got a grapple for it too....makes cleaning up fun
Wow! You did well for your self. I just bought the 2860m Massey Ferguson brand new! Thing is pretty sweet! Congrats 👏
Thanks for the review! Sounds like you made a great choice yourself!
Great info... thank you for taking the time to explain everything. Well done!
I appreciate it. Glad it helped.

Yes the Massey lineup is impossible to beat! You made a good choice with the 1526, great tractor. Thanks for watching!

You made a wise decision!

I’m glad you like yours and thanks for watching. Massey tractors are hard to beat I think. I’ll never own anything different!
I would like to see one pulling a bottom plow turning a garden plot then Roto tilling and row busting.
It will do it, just have to wait for spring. Would be a little difficult in the middle of winter.
I still have a 1953..
..shovel.
I don't know - you rich kids and your toys. Back in my day.. :)
Far from rich, but it does save on the grunt work!
Another great massey review, keep up the good videos. You have reassured my subscription. If it's not red leave it in the shed.
Thank you I appreciate it!!!
Thank you for the video! Very helpful!
You’re welcome
Late to the party but I just wanna say that's a nice-looking tractor, I like it a lot actually; even how they did the level indicator vs. other makes.
Thanks for watching!
Very good walk around of the tractor. Looking to get a second Massey Ferguson tractor that's a bit smaller than what I have. This looks like the one for me.
You will enjoy it for sure

Thanks for the review! I’m sure you’re happy with the 1736M. They make a great tractor.
I hear you, the hydro-whine is serious. I don't currently need two brake pedals and hope I don't ever lol.
Thank you
Thanks for watching
Great tractor. What did you end up paying for this all said and done?
VERY nice machine !! Treat her good and it should last you a lifetime .
Most definitely
Did you consider the 1526? If so, was it too small, or something else. Thanks for posting the vid.

I bought the 8x8 shuttle version, you will not be disappointed!!
Have you found yourself wishing you had bought the hydro transmission? Still happy with the manual?

This size tractor will work a 4-5 ft brush hog really well. You won’t be disappointed
I am Interested in buying one of these tractors. Do you know how wide it is? And how long it is? Cause I'm trying to put it in a shipping container storage.
You can go on Massey Ferguson’s website and get all the specs you need. Good luck
if you dont mind me asking what was the price of the tractor?
Mine with loader, bachhoe and a set of forks came to 32K.
Can u tell me why none of the controllers to the backhoe does not work
Could it be fuses
Looks like a nice tractor. Just wish these weren’t built in Indonesia 😕
They aren’t all made there. Unfortunately nothing is 100% made in USA anymore.

Please forgive me I’m new at this why did you pick Massey over say John Deere or Kabota
Massey has more options than the John Deere and Kubota. Build heavier too.
No temp gauge?
No thanks

You will know if you have an issue. There is an overheating light that will come on.
