Massey Ferguson Tractors 1533 Vs. 1433
The Massey Ferguson 1533 and 1433 farm and agricultural tractors share many characteristics. Farmers use both machines for the same jobs. Similarities included the 1533 and 1433 sharing Japanese-manufactured three-cylinder Iseki diesel engine with similar output ranges. But the 1533 version is a slightly larger, more robust version of the 1433 with greater fuel capacity, while the 1433 had more versatile transmission options.

Background
-
Massey Ferguson emerged as one of the largest tractor companies in North America by combining the efforts of tractor builders Massey, Harris and Ferguson. Massey Ferguson also went toe to toe with the Ford Motor Company after World War II and won a lawsuit against Ford, which had appropriated Massey Ferguson’s innovated three-point hitch system. In 1953, Massey Ferguson, then called Massey-Harris-Ferguson, became a leading manufacturer of agricultural machinery while Ford in the 1960s began moving away from the agricultural industry. By the 1970s, Massey Ferguson developed its compact series of tractors, which led to the 1990s' 1433 and the 1533 models beginning in 2002. Georgia-based AGCO acquired Massey Ferguson in 1993.
1533 Power
-
The Massey Ferguson 1533 received an Iseki three-cylinder liquid-cooled diesel engine displacing 91.4 cubic inches. It generated 33 horsepower at 2,600 rpm. Iseki produces its own line of tractors and provides engines for other tractor builders. The engine’s power take-off, or PTO that allows attachments to draw power from the engine, was 26 horsepower. Three transmission choices were available on the 1533: a SynchroShuttle model with eight forward speeds and eight reverse speeds; a Hydrostatic with infinite three-range forward and reverse gears; and the power shuttle model with 12 forward and 12 reverse gears.

1433 Power
-
The 1433 model featured a nearly identical 33-horsepower Iseki liquid-cooled three-cylinder diesel engine. Its PTO was slightly better than the 1533 with a 27-horsepowr rating. But the major differences were the 1433’s transmission systems to transmit the engine’s power to the wheels. In addition to the eight-speed SynchroShuttle and Hydrostatic transmissions were the 16-forward-gear and 16-reverse-gear PowerShuttle transmission and the16/16 SynchroShuttle transmission.
1533 Dimensions and Capacities
-
The 1533 version featured a 70-inch wheelbase, measured 121 inches long, 62 inches wide and 87.4 inches tall. The frame cleared the ground by 14 inches. Its stripped-down weight was 3,025 pounds, while the 1533 equipped with a cab weighed 3,384. Its fuel tank held 10.6 gallons. The three-point hitch had a rear lift capacity of 2,800 pounds.
1433 Dimensions and Capacities
-
The 1433 model sat on a slightly shorter wheelbase than the 1533 at 68.5 inches, yet its body was slightly longer at 121.5 inches. The 1433 was considerably narrower at 55.5 inches, but taller at 92.5. The 1433 also was much lighter than the 1533, weighing just 2,810 pounds. Its three-point hitch’s rear lift capacity was about the same as the 1533. The 1433’s fuel tank held 7.9 gallons.
