Massey Ferguson 383 cab tractor

Simmie Douglas · Dec 25, 2013

I am considering buying a Massey Ferguson 383 cab tractor. Does anyone know if this is a good model? Pros, cons?
These tractors show on tractor data to have been produced only 2 years.
I noticed the hydraulic flow only showed to be 4.4 gpm.

4.4 would just be for the 3pt hitch. Should be an auxiliary pump for remotes...

The 383 was a derated version (made for America) of the very popular 390. An excellent tractor that holds its resale value real well. Only real problem area, on some early models with the shuttle gearbox, was crunching of the direction shifter. This required a cheap modification but it took loads of expensive shop time to repair. Most tractors have been modified by now.

we've been running one for about 7 years straight 8 speed, 2 stage clutch, dual remotes, open station ,it has given excellent service,they came with alot of different set up configurations available,plenty of power & handles good, I would not think twice about buying another if needed
