The Massey Ferguson 1428 is a compact utility tractor manufactured by Iseki in Japan between 2002 and 2005. It belongs to a series of compact machines designed for agricultural and maintenance applications, featuring a 28 horsepower diesel engine.
Engine and Performance
The tractor is powered by a 1.5-liter, 3-cylinder liquid-cooled Iseki diesel engine. It utilizes indirect injection and meets Tier 2 emission standards. With a rated engine speed of 2500 RPM, it provides a gross power output of 28.4 hp (21.2 kW), suitable for various light-to-medium duty tasks.
Transmission and Drivetrain
The 1428 offers two transmission choices: a 9-speed gear transmission (9 forward and 3 reverse) using a dual-stage dry disc clutch, or an infinite-speed hydrostatic transmission with three ranges. The tractor is available in either two-wheel or four-wheel drive configurations, equipped with power steering and wet disc brakes for operator control.
Hydraulics and Hitch
The hydraulic system features an open-center design with a total flow of 10 gpm (37.9 lpm) and a pressure rating of 2134 psi (147.1 bar). The Category I rear hitch is equipped with position and response control, with draft control available as an option. Depending on the production year, the rear lift capacity at 24 inches behind the lift points ranges from 1323 lbs to 2425 lbs.
Power Take-Off (PTO)
The rear PTO operates at a standard 540 RPM. Gear models utilize a live PTO with a dry disc clutch, while hydrostatic models feature an independent PTO with wet disc actuation. An optional mid-mounted PTO, running at 2000 RPM, is available for operating implements such as mid-mount mowers.
Conclusion
The Massey Ferguson 1428 is a versatile compact utility tractor suited for small-scale farming, property maintenance, and landscaping. Its combination of Japanese engineering, multiple transmission options, and hydraulic capacity makes it a functional tool for operators requiring a maneuverable machine with sufficient power for varied implements.
