Massey Ferguson 1745M

Specifications
Features
Pros
- ✓The turbocharged Iseki diesel is a well-regarded Japanese engine that gives it strong, torquey 45 HP performance
- ✓The 2,866 lb 3-point lift is exceptional for the class, letting it run heavy rear implements with ease
- ✓It's built on a reinforced frame with heavy axles, so it feels stout and utility-grade rather than compact-light
- ✓Backed by AGCO's Massey Ferguson brand with real farm-equipment dealer support and heritage
- ✓12.6 GPM hydraulics deliver strong, quick loader and implement action
- ✓The DL125 loader and Category I/II hitch make it a genuine material-handling and field workhorse
- ✓6-year powertrain warranty is competitive with the best in the segment
- ✓Refined operator station and hydrostatic option make it comfortable for long working sessions
Cons
- ✗Massey's compact-utility dealer network is thinner than Kubota's and Deere's, so support depends on your local dealer
- ✗It's premium-priced, landing near a Deere 4044M or Kubota MX without their resale or dealer density
- ✗The loader capacity is modest relative to the strong 3-point lift, creating a capability mismatch
- ✗Resale value doesn't match Kubota or Deere in the US compact-utility segment
- ✗The owner community is smaller, so online troubleshooting knowledge is limited
- ✗AGCO parts pricing can run higher than expected
- ✗The turbo and modern emissions add complexity versus a simpler naturally aspirated tractor
- ✗It's less common on US lots, so test drives and hands-on comparisons can be harder to arrange
