OK,

The 165 I had located was sold before I got back to it. Now I am looking for info/pricing on either of the following.

MF 50 w/ loader, diesel, nice straight tin, fresh home done paint, hour meter indicates 3000 and is working, everything is working, brand new tires. Smokes some on start-up then smooths out real nice. Loader seems a little slow and runs off of tractor hydraulics. $4500

MF 283 w/ loader, diesel, good tin, but weathered, hour meter not working, tires serviceable probably 50% tread. Runs real nice. Loader runs off of seperate pump and moves real nice. $8900 asking, but has indicated he can move on this.

Thanks Guys,

Not sure what I would do without all of you willing to share your knowledge and experience.

Kirk

Kirk I can speak about the 50. I"ve had one for about 6 years now. They are an excellent machine. Parts are readily available. Perkins deisels are good motors. The pumps run slow in these tractors. You"d be lucky to get 4.5 gpm. The front ends are not particularly strong so you don"t want to overload the front end loader or turn the wheels tight when the bucket is loaded. But apart from these manageable weaknesses these are a quality machine with good power to wieght and most important, reliability. Like any purchase you may have a few things to fix in the first year or two. Check the rad, the starter as little things and be careful about noise in the transmission on anything you buy. I love my 50 and you are lucky to find one with PS. Mine has it and I love it. Good luck. If you want specific info I"d be happy to answer questions. And this price is normal if the condition is good,especially with good rubber.

The 283 isn't that old of a tractor, and with a loader, it should bring more than $8,900. I'd look it over real close before I spent any money on that one. They are good tractors, though.

Personally, I favor the 50. I've used them side by side before while working in tobacco. The 50 started and ran better, but that 283 and it's power steering made it a lot easier to use when it came time to drive back to the barn.

This 50 has power steering. It seems like a pretty solid tractor.

Thanks,

Kirk
