    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!

    A few neighbors have Masseys and really like them. I worked on a smaller one for a friend. Nice to work on
    He said it was easy on fuel, too.

      8 speed 1085 would be a great choring rig. I love that 1155 you’ve got with pipes. Would love to see hit parked next to my 1468 V8.

    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!!

    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
