Overview
A two-year owner retrospective from someone who uses the 2605H on a working farm, not a dealership walkaround. The owner explains why he chose it over a high-horsepower compact, covers the cast-iron construction, eight-speed shuttle transmission, planetary axles, draft control, and notably the absence of DPF/DEF/regen. Comparisons to older Massey models (165, 175, 180) run throughout. Best for buyers already considering this tractor who want a candid long-term impression rather than specs or pricing.
An owner-operator sharing hands-on impressions from his own farm, with evident long familiarity with legacy Massey Ferguson equipment.
