A highlighted cell wins its row on the rule named above the table: more power, lift, capacity or flow, or a lower price. A lift row is left unwon whenever the two makers measured in different places, or where either of them did not say — a figure quoted at the pivot pin and one quoted 500 mm ahead of it describe the same loader and differ by roughly a third, so ranking them against each other would invent a result. Prices are typical list and move with dealer packages.
From owner discussion and long-term write-ups
What owners of each one say
Massey Ferguson 4707
What they like
- 4,850 lb three-point lift at 24 inches handles round balers, big rotary cutters, and 3-bale spears that would overwhelm most tractors under 75 HP
- No DEF tank - the 3.3L AGCO Power engine meets Tier 4 with just a DOC, one less fluid and one less failure point than DEF-equipped rivals
- The 12x12 power shuttle makes loader work genuinely pleasant - direction changes with a flick of the left-hand lever, no clutching
- At 7,478+ lbs it's a legitimately heavy utility tractor that stays planted with the 931X loader lifting 3,420 lbs at the pins
- 17.2 GPM hydraulic flow runs hay equipment and hydraulic-hungry implements without starving
- Simple Global Series platform (built for worldwide markets) means fewer electronics to fail than a comparable premium Deere 5R
- Owners consistently report it undercuts a comparably equipped John Deere 5075E/5090E package by a healthy margin
What they complain about
- No hydrostatic option - if you want an HST at this horsepower, you're shopping Deere 4066R or Kubota instead
- The 3-cylinder is coarse compared to the smooth 4-cylinder FPT in a Farmall 75C - it's a tractor engine, not a refined one
- AGCO's dealer network has consolidated hard in some regions, so check parts support near you before buying
- Open-station model has a basic flat platform and seat - comfort features are thin until you pay up for the cab
- Resale is respectable but still trails the equivalent green tractor at auction
- At nearly 7,500 lbs bare it's too much tractor for small properties - this is a real farm machine, not an estate tractor
- The emissions system brings sensors and fault codes that a pre-Tier-4 tractor never had, and clearing them is a dealer job
Massey Ferguson 2M.60
What they like
- 47.0 hp at the PTO on the power shuttle, which will turn a seven-foot cutter or drive a small round baler
- Gets to 60.3 hp from 2.4 litres without a turbocharger, so there is no boost system to service
- 3,307 lb hitch capacity at the conservative 24-inch measuring point, matching the 2M.50 rather than being cut back for the bigger engine
- Only 220 lb heavier than the 2M.50 for 11.5 more horsepower
- Air-conditioned cab optional at 4,641 lb, in Classic or Deluxe trim
- Massey publishes separate lift and PTO ratings for the shuttle and the hydrostatic instead of quoting one figure for both
What they complain about
- There is no hydrostatic platform 2M.60 in AGCO's price book at all: the hydrostatic comes only as a cab tractor at $48,659, so wanting hydro here costs $8,301 more than this power shuttle
- 1,880 lb at the loader is the same as the 48.8 hp 2M.50 and barely more than the 39.4 hp 1M.40, so the front end is the weak point of the range
- No fuel tank capacity published, which matters more at 60 hp than anywhere else in the lineup
- The hydrostatic option drops the PTO to 44.6 hp and the hitch to 3,086 lb
- No loader model number, hydraulic detail or warranty term appears on the M Series page itself
