Massey Ferguson MF 1007 (A) or Massey Ferguson MF 1104?

Which should you choose?

On performance, every comparable figure that differs favours the Massey Ferguson MF 1007 (A): hydraulic flow and three-point lift. It is also ahead on forward gears.

  • The Massey Ferguson MF 1007 (A) suits loader and hydraulic implement work better on this data: 32% (10.5 L/min / 2.8 gpm) more hydraulic flow and 29% (960 kg / 2,116 lb) more three-point lift.

Generated by rule set compare@4 from the figures on the side-by-side table, allowed by route “the same stated configuration”. Measured figures are compared only with measured, claimed only with claimed, at the same test condition; differences within each figure’s tolerance are not called.
