ENGINE

The Massey Ferguson 1600 series compact tractors use an Iseki liquid cooled, indirect

injection diesel engine. These Tier IV Interim engines deliver optimum power while maintaining

high efficiency levels and going beyond current emissions standards.

The 1635 utilizes a three cylinder engine, while the 1643, 1648, 1652, 1655 and 1660 use four

cylinder engines. All the 1600 series engines are naturally aspirated.

The engine in the 1635 has a longer stroke then the previous model. The crankshaft has been

induction hardened to increase output power while using the same size pin, reducing friction

and increasing fuel efficiency. The larger water pump allows for more coolant to run through

the cooling system.

The glow plug starting aid is standard equipment for use in cold weather. There is a field

installed engine coolant heater available for extreme cold weather climates.

Three Range Hydrostatic Transmission

The hydrostatic transmission is offered in the 1635, 1643, 1648, and 1652 platform and cab

models.

In order to change the non-synchronized ranges, the tractor must come to a complete stop,

and using the inline range shift lever, located on the left console choose the correct range.

The side by side pedal forward and reverse pedals make it easy to change directions and give

the operator more room on the platform. The brake pedals have been moved to the left hand

side for convenience.

The hydrostatic transmission is excellent for applications that require frequent direction

changes and speed variations. This transmission is easy to use for any operator.

8 x 8 SynchroShuttle Transmission

Available in the 1643, 1648, and 1655, this transmission provides an economical shuttle shift.

The two non-synchronized ranges and four non-synchronized gears present eight forward

and eight reverse speeds. Range and gear changes are made by fully depressing the clutch,

bringing the tractor to a complete stop and selecting the proper range/gear combination. The

gear and range shift levers are located on the left control console.

To change the direction of travel depress the clutch pedal and move the shuttle lever forward

or backward. The shuttle is located on the left side of the steering column.

This transmission is great for applications where frequent changes in direction are required,

such as loader work.

12 x 12 PowerShuttle Transmission

Available in the 1635, 1643, 1648, 1652 , 1655 and 1660.

This transmission utilizes three non-synchronized ranges and four synchronized gears, pro-

viding twelve forward and twelve reverse speeds with the power shuttle. To shift between the

three ranges the clutch must be fully depressed and the tractor completely stopped. Gear

changes can be made on the go, by simply depressing the clutch pedal and choosing the de-

sired gear. The shift levers are located on the left side control console, the range shift levers

are inline and the gear shift lever is the traditional “H” pattern.

The forward/reverse shuttle lever is located on the left side of the steering column and is con-

trolled by a hydraulic clutch pack, therefore, there is no need to use the foot clutch or stop to

change directions. Just reduce the engine speed and move the shuttle lever to the desired

direction of travel while using the brakes to slow the tractor. Shuttle modulation aids in makes

the transition smooth because it allows the tractor to decrease speed before changing direc-

tion.

DynaQPS™ Transmission

Available only in the 1648, 1652 and 1660 cab models.

The DynaQPS™ integrates the durability of the gear transmission, the convenience of the hy-

draulic shift and the left hand powershuttle. The three non-synchronized ranges, four gears

and forward/reverse powershuttle provide twelve forward and twelve reverse speeds. To

change ranges the clutch must be completely depressed and the tractor must be stopped, the

range selection lever is located on the left console. The four gears can be selected in each

range using the + and - buttons on the shift lever without the use of the clutch. The power-

shuttle functions the same as on the 12x12 PowerShuttle transmission, with a hydraulic

clutch pack, so there is no need to use the foot clutch when changing directions. The Dy-

naQPS™ transmission is excellent for loader work and other applications in which it is neces-

sary to change speeds and directions frequently. (Note: under heavy loads the tractor will

hesitate when shifting through gears).

must be fully depressed and the tractor com-

pletely stopped, then the pedal can be de-

pressed and held until tractor is in motion.

When the rear differential lock is engaged the

rear axles will be locked together causing both

rear tires to turn at the same time, improving

performance in slick conditions. To disengage

the differential lock, depress the clutch pedal

and release the pedal.

Brakes

The wet disc brakes, controlled by dual pedals

provide excellent stopping ability. They can be

unlocked to improve turning radius or locked

together for a quicker stop. They should be

locked together when in transport.

THREE POINT HITCH/PTO/DRAWBAR

All 1600 series tractors have an ASAE Category I three point hitch that facilitates the use of

many implements. Telescopic lower link ends and telescopic stabilizers make attaching

implements and adjusting the amount of lateral movement easy. Top link draft sensing is

available as a field installed option for applications that require precise three point hitch

control.

All of the 1600 series tractors come equipped with independent power take off (PTO). A

separate hydraulic wet clutch is used to control the engagement of the PTO, making it possible

to engage the PTO independently of the transmission. The independent PTO allows for quick

and easy on the go engagement. The 540 rpm rear PTO is standard equipment. The 2000 rpm

mid PTO is available as a field installed option on the 1635, 1643, 1648 and 1652.

The adjustable drawbar allows the operator adjust the length or remove the drawbar

completely if necessary for certain applications.

Three Point Hitch Position Control

The position control, located in the right con-

sole will raise and lower the three point hitch.

As the control is moved to the rear of the trac-

tor the hitch will raise, when moved toward the

front of the tractor it will lower.

Three Point Hitch Rate of Drop Control

Used to adjust the speed at which the hitch

lowers, the rate of drop control is located on

the kick panel just below the seat. The knob

can be turned all the way to the lock position

to keep the hitch up when transporting imple-

ments.

Telescopic Lower Link Ends

The telescopic lower link ends are standard

equipment on all 1600 series tractors. The

ends slide out by simply pushing down on the

lever and pulling out the link end, making it

easy to hook up three point mounted imple-

ments. To lock the links ends back in position,

lower the implement to the ground and slowly

back up the tractor until the ends lock in

place.

Telescopic Stabilizers

The stabilizers allow the operator to adjust the

lateral movement of the lower links. This al-

lows for versatility for different applications,

some jobs may require the need to move,

while more precise work may need the imple-

ment to be locked into one position.

Hitch Leveling

The three point hitch can be leveled using the

crank type adjustment at the rear of the trac-

tor.

Top Link Draft Sensing

Top link draft sensing is a field installed option

for all 1600 series tractors. If draft sensing is

installed, the control lever will be located on
