Massey Ferguson 1040 is a compact utility tractor from the 1000 Compact Series, produced between 1984 and 1986.
Toyosha manufactured this model in Japan, which ensures excellent durability, precise engineering, and long-term reliability.

This is because it offers similar Japanese build quality while maintaining the trusted Massey Ferguson identity.
As a result, the Massey Ferguson 1040 performs well in agriculture, utility work, and loader operations across global markets.
