The 533 looks like the ag version of the 2615? Specs aren't easy to find. The larger displacement of the 533 engine is definitely nice. Hydraulic output is a bit more on the 2615. Kudos on choosing a loader with quicktach bucket. It adds so much versatility.

Has the wife operated both tractors? What's the price difference? I would not quibble over a couple grand difference if one is a better fit. I consider myself quite frugal. Nevertheless, I still would not sacrifice on something like a tractor. You'll keep this tool for a long time. If Massey offers low interest rate financing, your bucks go farther.

Be pragmatic, but don't be a stickler for final price. Keep the wife happy.

I shopped a few dealers until I got a great price on a great tractor. Kubota financed at 0% for 3 or 4 years. It was a no brainer considering used tractor pricing is not far off new.

The refurbished Ford's are nice tractors, but no comparison to the versatility of those Massey tractors.
