Guys I have a 68 Ford 2000 gas that has been in the family for 20+ years. Always been a good tractor but a little underpowered for what I want to use it for. I have the opportunity to buy a Massey Ferguson 65 with the continental gas engine. I'm going to go look at it next week. My father-in -law has used the tractor before, as it is a friend of his that owns it. He say it starts right up and runs very good. I know nothing about Massey's. It seems to have a good bit more power according to Tractordata.com..
Are there any issues that would make me want to avoid the Massey? Are parts easy to get like the Ford. I love my little Ford but it cannot turn my new bush hog that a guy gave me as a replacement for destroying my old one. It gave me a 6 footer and the Ford just isn't up for that..
If the Massey 65 is in good running condition what price range should I be looking at?? Guy is asking $2,600. The reason he is getting rid of it is because he just bought a new tractor with a front end loader and does not need the Massey.
