Massey Ferguson MF 1747 (MF 1700 series) – a compact utility tractor with indirect-injection diesel: four-cylinder of 2,197 cm³, 47 hp/34.6 kW and a 12/12 gearbox
The MF 1700 series from Massey Ferguson, part of the AGCO group since 1994, covered the brand's compact to mid-range power segment for smaller and medium-sized farms; the MF 1747 represents the sturdy, mechanically simple design of this class. Farms of this size valued such a model for mechanics a local workshop could service without specialist tools.

The MF 1747 is powered by a four-cylinder indirect-injection diesel engine of 2,197 cm³ displacement, delivering 47 hp or 34.6 kW at a rated speed of 2,600 rpm. The gearbox, with 12 forward and 12 reverse gears, allows a design top speed of 32 km/h.
A four-cylinder with indirect, pre-chamber injection was the common design in compact ranges of that era, before direct injection took over; it runs quieter and more smoothly than a direct-injection unit, at somewhat lower efficiency. At a top speed of 32 km/h the MF 1747 falls into the German T licence class, and a PTO at the standard 540 rpm speed is common for a tractor of this power class; the 12 forward and 12 reverse gears cover both slow field gears for tillage and faster gears for yard and road transport.
When buying a used indirect-injection diesel, the cold-start condition of the glow-plug system matters, since such engines are more sensitive to worn glow plugs than direct-injection units. The 12/12 gearbox should be checked for synchroniser condition and clean gear changes, as should the hydraulics for tightness.

What to check before buying
- Check the hour meter against the service records — a replaced instrument is the most common gap.
- Compare the data plate and chassis number with the papers.
- Shift the gearbox cold and warm — jumps only show up at temperature.
- Load the hydraulics and watch for sag.
- Ask about parts availability for this build year — the running costs hang on it.
