One of the best tractors ever made in my opinion. In the UK diesel is the fuel used in virtually all tractors made after the early 1950's and so the 3 cylinder diesel engine in the norm in 135s. That's one its strengths - the engine has good torque, starts easily in all weather, normally without a heater. Against? I can't think of anything apart from things that weren't common on any tractor when 135s were made. e.g. power steering (later one sometine had it as an option I think) suspension seat, soundproofed cab, air conditioning would have been nice - all of those would have been nice on 135. Biggest limitation I guess was that it became just too small for the implements that began to be used. Bigger heavier tractors were needed. I'm also imformed that teh drumn brakes weren't great for scraping out slurry as it tended to get inside them. Inboard brakes would be preferred for that I guess. I'd be interest to hear what everyone else thinks about this too - good and bad things.
