Massey Ferguson 1825E
The Massey Ferguson 1825E is a 24 HP economy compact built on a proven Iseki 1.5L three-cylinder diesel. It's the budget path into a true compact frame - heavier and more capable than a sub-compact, but priced against loaded sub-compacts like the Kubota BX and Deere 1-series.
Specifications
Features
Pros
- ✓You get a genuine compact-frame tractor (2,668 lbs, bigger tires, more clearance) for roughly what a loaded Kubota BX sub-compact costs
- ✓The Iseki-built 1.5L diesel is a proven, quiet powerplant - Iseki has supplied engines to multiple compact tractor brands for decades
- ✓1,598 lb three-point lift at 24 inches doubles what a BX or Deere 1025R can pick up, so box blades and tillers that stall sub-compacts are no problem
- ✓10-gallon fuel tank is nearly double a sub-compact's, so you work all day without refueling
- ✓Higher ground clearance and larger rear tires handle rough pasture and rutted trails that beach a BX-class machine
- ✓Simple economy spec means less to break - owners like that there's no fragile trim or extra electronics
- ✓The FLx2407 loader lifts 1,437 lbs, real loader capability for firewood, gravel, and pallet work
Cons
- ✗It's an economy model and feels like it - flat sheet-metal fenders, basic seat, and none of the refinement of a Kubota B or Deere 2-series
- ✗The E-series parts-bin ergonomics draw complaints - control placement is functional but awkward compared to Kubota's layout
- ✗AGCO/Massey compact dealers are sparser than Kubota and Deere in much of the US, so check local support first
- ✗Resale value is soft - Masseys in this class sell used at bigger discounts than the equivalent orange or green tractor
- ✗No mid-PTO on the base configuration means belly mower options are limited versus a 1025R or BX
- ✗24 engine HP is modest for a 2,700 lb tractor - it works, but it's leisurely with heavy loads compared to a 25+ HP Kubota L
