Hi, we've been looking at getting a MF200 or 300 series, 4wd, from Howards and sons, we want something easy to maintain, front loader and good general field work.
Though I've done googling whats the difference between a 290 and 390, or a new 385 made in Turkey/India/Pakistan?
The rear arm lift weight seems to vary between 2100 to 2400kg without assistant rams.
The 290 has Perkins 4.236 engine, 300 a 4.41, which is lower compression and about 100kg's lighter but bit higher kw.
From what I read they are all basically the same tractor?
Fed-up with our JD 2030/3030 with constant problems and lack of people in the area to work on them.
Cheers, James

Not many 4255's around, a tidy 4355 for 21k. I will keep looking, waiting on Horwards to get back to on prices. Cheers
