I’d never seen a Massey 1085 open station in person. Of course I bought it! Socials: @tmonteIH Website: territorialtrading.com Email: montgomeryfarms93@gmail.com
Nice find ! My Pa bought one new in the late 70s. I loved that tractor. He did 4 row farming with it here in south Ga for many years. It was a good looking unit and performed well. They have both been long gone now. The video brought back good memories. Thanks!
I had a1085 back when I farmed I loved that tractor would love to have found one again. We had every tractor you talked about. 180 1080 1100 1105 1085 and 275 2705 and a3650 my last tractor we had. But this one and the180 were my favorite
I just bought one a few a few weeks ago. Open station as well. Just Curious if you don't mind me asking what did you pay for yours? I'm in NC and I paid 7,500. Mine is in about the same condition as yours. I'm glad you are making videos of it I do not see much on these tractors. I've not seen another one in my area as I have been looking for a parts tractor as well for possible future needs. Thanks
@@tmonteIH we had a 285 non turbo our neighbor bought a 1085 it had a factory turbo the two tractors were bought at the same dealership new i wanted the 1085 glad we got the 285 never any head problems the neighbor must have put 5 heads on that 1085
Great tractor!!! I was in 8th grade when my neighbor, who farmed my grandmothers farm, bought a new 1100 and 1080, so I was able to spend many a day and hours helping him farm for many years with these two big tractors, at least back then they were. The only thing I did not like was the Multi-power, when it was in low, it free-wheeled down grades like a race car, you really had to be careful!!! There was no cab tractors around then, not until he bought a nice, used Steiger Cougar, in the around 1983 or 85, and was a dream come true to operate, so much better than a large two wheeled tractor in getting in tight areas too! But the 1100 was my all -time favorite to operate. It was a bugger to start in the winter though, we often had to blast the engine with our shop heater for 30 minutes to warm up the block!!
@@tmonteIH I remember the 1100 could walk away with a 5 bottom plow in our nice loamy soil back then, but when you were used to a JD 70D with a 3 bottom, we thought we hit the lottery!!! I have been searching for a nice toy replica as well for a long time!!
@@tmonteIH Now I have to disagree, I grew up on a hand clutch!!!!! Nothing runs like a Deere, or smells like a John!!! You need a nice 730 with pony motor, you will never geta another Red tractor!!! Better yet, find me one!!! I will convert you!!! But I do love the older MF's!!!
@@tmonteIH There are alot of these years in Upstate NY, probably in PA as well, I keep looking for a nice MF 12 or 14 garden tractor with this styling, they just look so nice
