My old 65 gas is bound for salvage. Anyway, to replace it on the farm, I"m going to look at a 1992 283 with 1690 hours on it. It has a 236 QT loader with it. Looks to be the same basic MF design as the old 65 except 8-speed instead of 6 and wet brakes. Perkins diesel, same type of hydraulic system (4.8 GPM?) planetaries, etc., all of which I am used to. Are there any nasty surprises with this model to watch out for? I wouldn"t think that the hydraulics have enough flow for that 236 loader.

I was thinking the 283 is more tractor than the 65 and that is what TractorTips.com says. The 283 is 78 engine hp and 67 pto. The 65 is about 50. The site said the 283 also has hydralic capicity of 10+ gals a minute which is much better than 4 gpm. I looked at several 236 loaders to put on my 255 but kept missing them. Finally put a new Bush Hog loader on it. I would think you would like the larger tractor if its in good shape and you need more power. Good luck.

Thanks Phil. I knew the 283 was bigger, which is why I was looking at it. The old 65 did a lot of work, but there were some jobs where it just wasn"t quite big enough and the larger tractors on the farm were too big. Looks to me like the 283 is still small enough to be nimble like the 65 but with enough snort to do few things the 65 couldn"t.

Did your 65 have P.S.? I want parts to convert my manual steering to power. Mine is gas.
