MF274 4X4

Leon R · Feb 26, 2021

I have been following used tractors for sale with the idea of upgrading from my MF65. there is a 1987 MF274 4x4 with an MF236 loader and 4700 hrs. from the looks of the two pictures it is very original and straight with good rubber all around. The asking price is $25000.00 cdn obo. Are these good tractors and how are they for fuel consumption? I have been using my MF65 for 30 years and it has been an excellent unit for what I do except I am not getting any younger (77 yrs) and the power steering and 4x4 would be nice for winter plowing without the need for chains. The 274 would let me access my 6 acre woodlot which I can't do with the 65 as it is too steep. also I don't know about the price. Thanks

You can buy a lot of tractor for 25k.
That seems really steep for a 34 year old
tractor.I would keep looking. JMHO

Landini built MF, decent enough. Price seems high even in CDN money.

Perkins power so they should be good on fuel, but no hands on experience.

Should be able to move up to a cab tractor
for this.

I agree, too much money. For a reference I go to Tractor House and multiply by .8 to get a representative price. They have 6 274s listed but they are all salvage.

thanks for the responses. I agree the price looks somewhat high. I just like the idea of no electronics as I am a little old fashioned when it comes to equipment. Like to fix things myself if at all possible, and I don't know how much longer I am going to be doing this hobby farm thing anyway so don't want to spend too much.
