On the price: The maker's own published starting figure for the base build. A dealer adds a loader, a deck and freight on top.

Lift figures are the maker's and are quoted at whichever point the maker chose; the about page explains why two loaders with the same number do not lift the same pallet.

From owner discussion and long-term write-ups

What owners say

What they like

  • 30.0 hp at the PTO on the 12-speed power shuttle, enough for a six-foot rotary cutter that the 1M.35 has to be worked harder to turn
  • Same 3,428 lb weight as the 1M.35 for 3.2 more engine horsepower, so the extra output is not paid for in ground pressure
  • 12.6 gpm pump plus 7 gpm dedicated to steering, so loader cycle times hold up under a full bucket
  • 1,870 lb loader capacity rated 19.5 inches forward of the pivot pin, which is the conservative point rather than the flattering one
  • Folding ROPS standard with an air-conditioned cab optional at 3,858 lb
  • The 1.8 L Iseki three-cylinder runs without a turbo, so there is one fewer wear item than on rivals that turbocharge to reach 40 hp

What they complain about

  • A cab takes this to $38,399 and the Deluxe Cab to $42,135, so the operator station alone can cost more than a whole 1GC sub-compact
  • Every capacity figure is identical to the cheaper 1M.35, so the whole case for the 1M.40 is 3.2 engine horsepower
  • No fuel tank capacity is published by Massey or by the specification databases
  • 30.0 hp at the PTO from 39.4 at the engine, dropping to 27.9 on the hydrostatic - about a quarter lost either way
  • Massey names no loader model and publishes no hydraulic or warranty detail on the M Series page itself

Big jump from the 1M.25 rather than a small one: the hitch more than doubles to 2,535 lb, the loader to 1,870 lb, and pump flow goes from 5.5 gpm to 12.6. Carries the model name that replaced the 1800M, and shares its whole chassis and every capacity figure with the 1M.40 above it.

Step onto Massey's larger compact frame: a 2.4-litre Iseki four-cylinder in place of the 1M's three, and 3,307 lb at the hitch against 2,535. Replaces the 1750M in the 2025 renaming, and the choice of transmission changes the lift rating here - the shuttle carries 221 lb more than the hydrostatic.

Same 2.4-litre four-cylinder as the 2M.50 turned up to 60.3 hp, and the most PTO power available in the range without moving to the cab-only 2M.65. Replaces the 2860M. Hitch, loader and pump all carry over unchanged, so the 220 lb of extra weight is the only structural difference.
