Ah Just got my new Massey 1529 last week. Should be great for opening trails in the spring and hauling sap.. Best part it has a cup holder for my highball!!
Moved 15 yards of gravel for the drivway in no time, did some brushhogging and after using it all week-end the fuel gauge had not moved.

Sweet ride, I have a kubota and it sure does make gathering buckets a whole lot nicer. It also has a cup holder.

My Fords also have cup holders, but they are after market accessories. You will like the Massey, compact diesels sip fuel very slowly unless you attach something that makes it work hard. Even at that it uses far less than a gas rig., but make sure you re-fuel before it empties the tank. It is not like gas, where you can just add more gas and start it, unless you have an electric fuel pump. The rest require you to bleed the system to remove all air. I have 2 diesels, a '79 and an '81. Both have run dry, but not very often. It always make my upset when it happens because my Fords take at least 15 minutes to get bleed after fueling, sometimes as long as 30 minutes.
