MF 1004 to 1134: the second generation of big tractors, 88 to 110 hp, four- and six-cylinder diesels, with the MF 1004 Turbo variant
As a development of the 1000 series, Massey Ferguson introduced the 1004 series, which ran from the 1970s into the 1990s and combined both four- and six-cylinder engines within the same model family.

The register lists 6 live models, from the MF 1004 to the MF 1134 (A), built between 1973 and 1990. Output ranges from 64.8 to 99.4 kW, or 88 to 110 hp, weight from 3,430 to 5,050 kg, displacement from 3,867 to 5,800 cm3, across four- and six-cylinder engines.
The MF 1004 Turbo also shows that Massey Ferguson was already using turbocharging in the 1970s to raise output within the existing displacement, rather than relying solely on larger engines.
For large operations, this series formed, over nearly two decades, the link between the classic 1000 series and the later, electronically equipped big tractors.
On the turbocharged MF 1004 Turbo, buying used also means checking the turbocharger and its charge-air ducting, since this early turbo technology is more sensitive to oil-change intervals than the naturally aspirated four- and six-cylinder engines of the rest of the series; on all models, clutch, powershift stages, hydraulic tightness and rust on cab and mudguards should be checked too. Engine parts run through the regular Massey Ferguson dealer network, as the series is technically closely related to later ranges.

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.
- Check the weights in the papers against the figures here — attachments change them.
- Check front and rear tyre sizes: mismatched pairs strain the drivetrain.
- 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.
