I have a MF 255 which replaced the 165 which replaced the 65. These tractors are about 50 hp. You didn't say how much land you have to keep up so here's my thoughts. On the smaller tractor's I would go for the 135 with power steering even if it cost a little more than you had planned. If you go with the larger tractor such as the 165 remmeber these are larger and or not as easy to climb on and JUMP off. I am 50 years old and several years ago added an extra step to my 255 and the only mistake was not putting one on the other side. A friend and I have about 60 to 70 cows on about 120 acres with another 80 to 100 acres cut as hay so at times climbing on and off can get very old. Once your in the seat however you going to get some work done. If you just have 10 to 20 acres and just putter around get the 135 with power steering. You may want a loader someday. If you have more acreage you might wish to have the bigger tractor for more power and larger implements. Sometimes a little more is better than not hardly enough. Good luck.
