MF Which one?
The options are almost endless depending on whats available. Some machines a manufactured under licence in Eastern Block or other European countries. Same castings, Perkins motors etc.
1. Depends how much you can spend - The more money the cleaner the unit to go for. Hours on a tractor are not an accurate means of gauging use.
Tyres are expensive - go for good tyres and a clean appearance. Exposure to weather and the elements does alot of damage.
2. What and how often are you going to use it?
A large slasher may require the extra HP of a MF165 as oppposed to a MF135.
3. MF135 early models have a bent front axle while later MF135 have a straight axle. 4. Later models MF175 had a 4 speed 2 range box while the earlier MF135 had 3 speed 2 range box. Multi power is great while it works but costs $$$
to fix and these machines are starting to get old.
5. Do you need cat 1 or cat 2 three point linkage?
All parts are available as generic made in Asia but they still cost money to replace.

I have two MF135 and they are able to do all the things I want to do at an economical cost.
