Good economical tractors. We had one of each. Travel speeds were not ideally spaced. Too big of gap between 4th low-1st high and low reverse-high reverse unless you had the multipower option. MF used an array of hyd pumps on these tractors which allowed multiple leakage paths. This resulted in very noticable non-engine running 3pt and remote cylinder drift. Not a big deal but don't leave mounted equipment raised and return an hour later and expect it to not have drifted. To save money Perkins used a highly advanced static injection (30 degrees btc) rather than a more retarded static timing (say 24 degrees btc) and a timing advance. As a result, the diesel engines don't start worth a hoot below 30 degrees F unless you plug them in or use ether.
