Thanks in advance for all opinions on a choice between two tractors - I'm new to tractors and need all the help I can get! I'm buying a 150
year old home in the country. It comes with 7 1/2 acres of grass, most of it a hill with gentle
slopes. Several large trees are spaced on it, none very close together. With the house I can buy a Ferguson FE-35, serial # 357147, made
in England in 1964. It has about 2800 hours, a
4 foot bushhog, a Perkins 3 cylinder diesel, and
seems to be in good running order. Its price is
$5000. I've also located in the area a Massey
Ferguson Model 165, serial # 37147970. I've
been told it is a 1975 (can anybody tell for sure from the serial #?) It was used by the state highway department, and has about 2900 hours.
It's a 4 cylinder diesel, has power steering, and
a roll cage (is that factory standard or add-on?)
It comes with a 5 foot bushhog and costs $6400.
It also seems to be in good running order.
My main question: which tractor is the
better choice for those 7 1/2 acres, all things
considered? I'll really appreciate your opinions.

Hello!
I think that you shell buy MF 35 because it is a very good tractor. It is fun to drive and it doesn�t cost much fuel to drive "him". On over farm we have TEF 20, MF35, MF65, MF165, MF175 and MF 6270. MF165 is a very good traktor to, but I think MF35 is better.
Good luck Mikael Larson Sweden

MF 165 is a more robust (heavier built) go-get-em tractor. Will take more abuse, have good reputation for longevity.

Rollover typically wasn't standard but is a real good addition if you have any slopes at all..(or even on flat ground for that matter).

(won't take long till you find out why.. things can get excitin' in a hurry)

The 35 3 cyl diesel is also made by perkins, this engine was also used in the 135 with a couple of changes.
The 165 should have the perkin 4203 ( 4 cylinders 203 cubic inches) this is a good reliable engine that is easy to fix (so is the 35 engine).
