I'm looking at a MF150 and 165, both are in very good condi. Gas newly overhauled. But the tires on the 165 are very bad, and on the 150 are fair. I use a woods m80 schrader for mowing pasture. How much difference is there in drawbar HP. would it be noticable enough to go for the 165? Either tractor is 5000.00. Is that a fair price? Thank You. DG

Both are nice to drive. The throttles get worn and don't like to stay where you put 'em. There are two types of live 540 PTO options--two stage clutch and a hydraulically engaged fully independent style. (Not sure but some 150s may have had a transmission driven PTO. I know some 135s did.) There were two gas engines used in the 135, 150, and 165. The early tractors had Continentals, Perkins in the later ones. About 46 PTO horsepower on the Continental 165, 52 on the Perkins. All the diesels were Perkins and easy on fuel. Never ran a gas 165. One summer we used a new gas 65 with the Continental and it was on the thirsty side.

If you are going to pull a Wood 80, you need the 165. It has about 52 horsepower. The 150 has the same powertrain as a 135(about 40 horsepower). If the 165 is gas, be prepaired to spend a lot of money on gas.. for your sake, I hope it's a diesel.

Do like everyone here says and go for the 165. A 150 is the same tractor as a 135, same motor, same hydraulics, but large framed like the 165, 175, etc. 150 and 165 are roughly the same size and weight, but the 165 will do a lot more work. Tom S.

There's no comparison between the power of the two. The 165 would be my choice. A couple of things to check out though: The 165 has internal disc brakes that are costly to rebuild, and if it has Multi-power, it too can be a problem unless it's in good working order. Other than that, they're both good tractors and if they're in good condition the price is about right

Go for the 165. we had one 25 years ago and used it to pull a 6 row do-all just as good as our 1466 IH's. That little tractor will suprise you in the amount of power it has. That is a good price to pay as we sold ours at sale 11 years ago and it went for 6500 dollars in rough shape. Go for the 165. Thats my final answer, now i am a millionaire.
