I would try to get a tractor with nearby dealer support.
I would not get a Chinese tractor because of problems getting parts and quality issues

The MF 165 is an excellent tractor. It has about 50 hp which is adequate for anything you are likely to be doing. It has leve power and 3ph lift.

It would be nice if you could get a knowledge 3rd party to check the condition of the tractor. Good luck. KEH
