NYBowhunter Posted July 23, 2018 Share Posted July 23, 2018 Here she is fellas all clean for now, traded in my smaller 9 yr old Massey for this larger framed, larger tires, more HP Massey Ferguson. Nice feature is that the newer Masseys now use skid steer attachments so bucket, plows and other front end attachments are interchangle with the likes of skid steer, bobcat etc. Shes much bigger then my prior massey so the bucket needs to be stored separately as the tractor wont fit in the shed with it on. I havent mowed with it yet but i assume visibility without the bucket out front is much better. And if needed it only takes a few minutes to get the bucket hooked up. Hoping to use her next season to change up some of my food plots. 13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

airedale Posted July 23, 2018 Share Posted July 23, 2018 The quick attach system is the only way to go, adds so much versatility and ease of changing loader attachments. I have a bucket, a pusher and a power angle plow that make the tractor very useful for a wide variety of chores. Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Al Absolutely, with the skid steer it shouldnt be hard for me to find a nice plow for the snow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

philoshop Posted July 23, 2018 Share Posted July 23, 2018 From the pics it also looks like it will handle those side hills really well too. Just kidding. Congrats on the new tractor. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Congrats on the new tractor. Lol...Guess you'd never been to my property , there are some trails that are at a very nice long steady incline. Put that tractor in turtle gear and chug along. Its actually a good thing because it forces you to slow down and take in all the beauty. Theres nothing like riding a diesel tractor up a mountain at a snails pace as you travel wooded trails to your food plots. I get excited every single time i go!!!!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

philoshop Posted July 23, 2018 Share Posted July 23, 2018 Just curious, but does anyone know if the MF line is still made in Buffalo? They were a Canadian company for a while, then switched back to the U.S. in the 90's if I recall. Doesn't really matter for the most part. Good equipment that will likely outlive you with proper care. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have many memories driving the old Farmall- H in my younger years.. jeepers almost forgot, congrats on the new toy. she’s a keeper..

stubborn1VT Posted July 23, 2018 Share Posted July 23, 2018 I spent many summers tedding and raking hay on a MF 165. My brother still has 3 or 4 of them on the farm. They were simple to operate and stood the test of time. One of my favorite 2 wheel drive tractors. Congrats on your new tractor. It should be big enough for all kinds of work and a real labor saver.

Ah the smell of fresh paint and smoke burning off the exhaust pipe for the first time. I've restored TO 35's. Three speed with hi- low and live pto. and a Z134 Continental. It hard to find a TO 20 without a cracked block anymore. I've seen threaded rod through the block on some with nuts on the outside of the block to hold things together.
