48.8 hp engine · 38.1 PTO−22% to the shaft

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.

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

  • 3,307 lb of lift 24 inches behind the ball ends, up 30 percent on the 1M.40 and enough for a heavy rear blade or a three-point spreader
  • A four-cylinder 2.4 L Iseki rather than the three-cylinder in the 1M frame, so torque delivery is smoother under a cutter
  • 38.1 hp at the PTO on the 12-speed power shuttle, which is more than the whole engine output of the 1GC range it sits above
  • The power shuttle version lifts 3,307 lb where the hydrostatic manages 3,086, and Massey publishes both rather than quoting the better one
  • Air-conditioned cab optional at 4,398 lb, with Classic and Deluxe cab trims offered
  • At 4,035 lb in ROPS form it is heavy enough to hold a loaded bucket down without ballast that a lighter compact would need

What they complain about

  • The cab build is $8,726 more at $44,497 and the Deluxe Cab $48,212 - well past what the 65 hp 2606H utility tractor costs
  • 1,880 lb at the loader is only 10 lb more than the 1M.40 below it, so the front end does not scale with the engine or the hitch
  • No fuel tank capacity is published anywhere for the 2M range
  • Choosing the hydrostatic costs both lift capacity, down to 3,086 lb, and 1.9 PTO horsepower
  • Massey names no loader model and publishes no warranty term on the M Series page

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.

Top of the 1M frame and a pure engine upgrade over the 1M.35: 3.2 more horsepower and 2.5 more at the PTO, on an identical chassis with the same 2,535 lb hitch, same 1,870 lb loader, same 12.6 gpm pump and same 3,428 lb weight. Carries the name that replaced the 1840M.

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.
