Transmission
With a wide range of transmission options, we
are sure to have just the tractor model to fit
your needs. From the basic and economical
standard gear to the deluxe hydrostatic
transmission with cruise control, we can equip
you to get the job done.
When it comes to transmissions, we have you
covered. Whether you are in the market for a
simplistic gear model or looking for that state
of the art option, the 1500 Series is sure to
have what you are looking for.
• Small Chassis Transmission Options
6x2 Gear Transmission
Available only in the 1523 this transmission
provides you with 3 forward gears and 1 reverse
gear in each of the 2 ranges. This transmission
offers rugged reliability at an economical price
while maintaining the functionality you have
come to expect from Massey Ferguson.
2 Range Hydrostatic
Optional in the 1523, the 2 range hydrostatic
transmission is easy to operate and maneuver
around trees, flowerbeds and anything else you
might encounter around the lawn. Cruise control
makes even those long hours spent mowing the
lawn less tiresome since you don't have to hold
down on the pedal all the time. And with easy to
reach forward and reverse foot pedal controls
changing direction and speed is quick and easy
• Mid Chassis Transmission Options
9x3 Gear Transmission
Simple, dependable and economical, that's what
you get with the 9x3 gear transmission available
in the 1528 tractor. Now that both the gear and
range shift levers are located in the left
control console this transmission is easier to
operate than ever before. Easily go from forward
to reverse with 3 forward and 1 reverse gear in
each of the 3 ranges with 1st gear and reverse
in line.
3 Range Hydrostatic
Optional on the 1528 and standard on the 1531
this 3 range hydrostatic transmission is a great
choice for lawn and grounds maintenance. With
individual forward and reverse pedals precise
control is within easy reach. This transmission
option is great for jobs such as mowing, loader
work or any job around the home or estate where
you have to change speed and direction a lot.
• Large Chassis Transmission Options
8x8 SynchroShuttle
As the base transmission in all four large
chassis models the 8x8 SynchroShuttle
transmission provides you with 8 forward speeds
and 8 reverse speeds. The shuttle lever is
located on the left side of the steering column
within easy reach of the operator. Directional
changes can be accomplished by depressing the
clutch and moving the shuttle lever to the
desired direction of travel, the tractor does
not have to come to a stop. This is an
economical transmission with exceptional
performance, perfect for almost any job. With
smooth operation like this, you would expect to
pay much more.
12x12 PowerShuttle
A step up from the SynchroShuttle the 12x12
PowerShuttle provides 12 forward speeds and 12
reverse speeds. With four speeds below 1 mph
this transmission is great for jobs such as core
aeration or any other job that requires very
slow constant speeds. The shuttle lever can be
actuated without removing your left hand from
the steering wheel making this transmission a
great choice for loader work. To change the
direction of travel simply slow the engine and
move the shuttle lever to the desired direction
of travel. A wet clutch, which has excellent
durability characteristics, is used to control
the shuttle shifts and provides long life.
3 Range Hydrostatic
Easy to operate and unmatched performance are
what you will get with the new hydrostatic
transmission available in the 1533, 1540 and
1547. Separate forward and reverse pedals are
placed so there is plenty of room to rest your
foot you have precise control of speed and
travel direction. And the new engine
acceleration feature makes this tractor even
easier to operate since the HST pedal also
controls engine speed. As you push on the
forward/reverse pedal the engine will speed up
and then slow down when you begin to let up
making this transmission operate like car with
an automatic transmission. You can also use the
hand throttle to set the speed when you need it
to stay constant for operations using the PTO or
other operations requiring a constant engine
speed. Easy to operate and long lasting this
transmission is a great choice for lawn care,
landscaping work or any job where you need to
change the direction of travel and travel speed
regularly.
12x12 DynaQPS
Available only in the 1547, 1552 & 1560 cab
models this transmission combines the rugged
durability of the PowerShuttle with the
convenience of a 4-speed powershift. This
transmission allows you to change direction and
gears without using the clutch. Two buttons are
right at your fingertips on the range. Shift the
lever to shift up and down through the four
gears. After slowing the engine simply move the
powershuttle lever to the desired direction of
travel and the tractor will slow itself down and
change direction. Now you can easily up shift
and downshift when working conditions change to
keep the tractor at peak performance. This
transmission is great for all types of jobs and
working conditions.
Hydraulics
With the growing use of compact tractors,
hydraulic demands have become more important
than ever. We give you several options to choose
from.
Increased pressure and oil flow on the 1500
Series tractors mean you can lift more faster
with your front loader...getting more work done
in less time!
• Pedestal Mounted Joystick (all 1500 series
platform tractors)
Economical and easy to use while providing
smooth operation of your loader or other
hydraulic controlled implements. Couplers
mounted either on the top (1523, 1528 & 1531) or
on the front (1533, 1540, 1547, 1552 & 1560) of
the valves make it easy to remove and install
implements.
- Factory Joystick (1533, 1540, 1547, 1552 & 1560)
- Easy to use and precise control makes the factory joystick option the perfect choice for loader control.
- A factory installed joystick with mid mounted
couplers makes loader
control and installation a
snap.
- Couplers are located just under the right
front side of the platform,
making them easy to
get to.
- To connect the hydraulic hoses, simply push
the hose ends into the couplers until they lock
and to disconnect simply pull straight out of
the hose.
- Auxiliary Remotes
Need additional hydraulics? Two optional dealer
installed auxiliary valves with rear couplers
are available, each with a single control lever
located in the right control console within easy
reach of the operator (except on the 1523).
3 Point Hitch
Smooth operation and a position control lever
that is conveniently located give you complete
and accurate control of three point mounted
implements helping you to do some of your best
work yet.
A standard Category I three point hitch allows
you to use one of the many implements offered to
you by Massey Ferguson. The 1500 series helps
you take on even more tasks; from box blading to
tilling to clipping the pasture with a rotary
cutter, just to name a few.
- A clear line of sight from the operator
station to the rear of the tractor allows you to
see clearly what your implement is doing.
- Now that you can see the implement you need
precise control of it, which Massey Ferguson has
provided with the smooth operating position
control lever located just to the right of the
operator.
- You can control the speed at which the hitch
lowers by turning the rate of drop control knob
located below the seat. (under the seat on the
1523)
- When you are not using the hitch or if you are
transporting an implement, the rate of drop knob
can be turned all the way to the lock position
to act as a safety device to keep the hitch from
moving unexpectedly. Just another way Massey
Ferguson helps keep you safe.
- Changing implements is made easy with the
turnbuckle stabilizers (1523, 1528) or the
telescopic bar stabilizers (1531, 1533, 1540,
1547 & 1552) that allow the draft links to swing
out wide to put the implement on and then can be
pinned to control the side to side sway while
working. (see implements section for more
information)
- Extendable draft link ends are standard on all
2006 production model 1533, 1540, 1547, 1552 &
1560 models. Fixed draft link ends are used on
the 1523, 1528 & 1531 models.
PTO
Easy to operate and easy to control. That?s what
you get with the independent electro-hydraulic
PTO or the live PTO on the 1500 Series.
The 540 RPM rear PTO makes operating implements
such as a tiller, rotary cutter, finish mower
and a multitude of other implements a simple
task.
- An electro-hydraulic independent PTO is used
on all models except for the 1523 gear and the
1528 gear tractors. The 1523 gear uses a
transmission driven PTO while the 1528 gear uses
a live PTO with a two stage clutch.
- Independent PTO
- Simply push and turn the yellow knob on the
right side of the dash and the PTO will slowly
engage.
- If the engagement is too aggressive the
modulation button to the left of the PTO control
can be pushed (light will come on to indicate
engagement) which will make the PTO engage even
slower (1533, 1540, 1547, 1552 & 1560 models
only).
- To turn the PTO off, simply push the yellow
button/knob.
- A 2000 RPM mid PTO is standard on the 1523
HST, 1528 HST and 1531 models and is a dealer
installed option on the other models (excluding
the 1560) that can be used to power a mid mount
mower or a front mounted rotary broom or snow
blower.
Operator's Area Platform
We had you in mind when we designed the operator
station of the new 1500 series Massey Ferguson
tractors. The comfort and convenience make time
spent in the seat enjoyable, not a chore.
Operator's Area (Cab)
Escape the elements! You now have four cab
models to choose from.
Whether cold or heat you can now escape from the
elements and continue to get all of your work
done from the quiet comfort of a
factory-installed cab.
With heating, air-conditioning, and a spacious
interior you will forget you are in the cab of a
compact tractor.
- Rear view mirrors - With the left & right
mirror as standard equipment (2006 production
models) you can keep your eyes on what is ahead
and see what is going on behind you.
- Lighting package - Providing excellent
visibility in the front and rear of the tractor
are two headlights in the grill and as well as
two front work lights on the roof of the cab
with another pair of lights on the rear of the
cab.
- Front & rear wiper/washer - Rain or shine you
can get your work done with ease with the help
of a front & rear wiper with washer fluid (2006
production models).
- A/C & Heating controls - Easy to reach
controls allow you to adjust the temperature
inside to suite you. Keeping you cool in the
heat of the summer and warm in the dead of
winter.
- Digital instrument panel - An easy to read
message center that lets you know the status of
the main operating systems of your tractor.
Serviceability
Servicing your tractor has never been this easy.
Nobody wants to do it, but we all know we
should. So Massey Ferguson designed a tractor
that makes it easy.
- To check the engine oil, something you should
do every time you start your tractor, all you
have to do is pull the dipstick. No need to
raise the hood, we put a small cutout in the
side panel and made the dipstick handle yellow
so that it is easy to find.
- To check the coolant level simply raise the
hood and look to see if the coolant is at the
full line marked on the tank.
- If the lights are left on and the battery goes
out, the battery is right in front so that a
boost is no big deal.
- Filling the tractor with fuel is easier than
ever. A 10.6 gallon fuel tank is located just in
front of the dash under the hood with a flip up
door to provide easy access and a large plastic
fuel cap.
- You also have the option to take the panels
off of each side, which gives you unobstructed
access to both sides of the engine.
- Checking the hydraulic oil level is as simple
as looking at the site glass located on the left
rear side of the final drive.
- Massey Ferguson had the operator in mind when
we introduced the hydraulic oil fill pipe
extension for easier ability to add oil.
Only Massey Ferguson – the worldwide industry
leader in tractors – could build a sub-compact
with the heart and soul of a full-size tractor.
With its powerful 22.5 hp (16.8 kW)
liquid-cooled diesel engine and 18.7 PTO hp
(13.9 kW), the Massey Ferguson GC2300 & GC2310
TLB tractors are designed to take on big jobs.
Yet, their smaller size and versatile handling
make them ideal for hobby farmers, landscapers,
homeowners and residential sub-contractors.
The GC2300 & GC2310 TLB boasts an impressive
list of features you’d expect to find only on
larger, more expensive tractors. A rugged
hydrostatic transmission offers low and high
ranges, so you can choose the best speed for the
job. The liquid-cooled, three-cylinder diesel
engine delivers the most horsepower in its
class, to get you through the toughest of jobs.
A differential lock delivers sure-footed
traction, even in the trickiest terrain. And the
Class I, three-point hitch lets you take on a
wide variety of attachments, to tackle job after
job
