Read articles →This is a detailed walkaround of the Massey Ferguson 1700 Premium series, covering the full lineup of six models and both transmission options. Matt narrates a static, feature-by-feature tour: operator controls, joystick and hydrostatic pedals, seat and cab, engine compartment access, PTO modulation, loader quick-attach, three-point hitch, and drawbar adjustments. It doesn't run the tractor or dig, so it suits buyers wanting a thorough feature checklist rather than performance footage.
Posted by Pell's, a dealership channel, so the tone leans toward a sales-oriented feature walkaround rather than independent testing.
The smaller three models use a Mitsubishi Tier 4 Final 1.7L three-cylinder engine, and the larger three models use a four-cylinder 2.2L engine.
A three-range hydrostatic transmission and a 12x2 power shuttle transmission are both available on the Premium series.
For a hard-start load like a post hole digger in clay, the modulation switch eases the PTO on gradually so it does not shock load the powertrain system.
The premium series has extendable lower lengths that pull down and out and are pinned in place, unlike the economy series which uses a turnbuckle.
