Yes quite a bit heavier with the wet brakes than the 135. Also 8 inches longer like a 148. Ours sometimes feels under powered.
Ours is a multipower so its quite quick on the road 21mph I woiuld think but standard box is 8 speed would do about 18mph.msheep66 I'm going to view one this week in the hope of buying and just trying to get as much information as possible. Looking for an upgrade on the 135 for a small holding and fancied a more comfortable cab and power steering and the heavier backend would also be useful!
What sort of mph do you get on the road?
There is no pick up hitch on this one, would a puh from a 165 for instance fit okay?
Are the rear hubs the same size as those on a 165?
Do they have independent pto or dual stage clutch?
Thanks
MF 250.What an awesome machine.Multi power and 32in radials on my baby.82 vintage.Purrs along nicely and lovely to drive.Never been dairyized.
Ours is underpowered but 4wd and massey 80 power loader doesn't help .
We had one here years ago and it was affectionately called "Two Rattles" by the barky exhaust and the rattling cab.MF 250.What an awesome machine.Multi power and 32in radials on my baby.82 vintage.Purrs along nicely and lovely to drive.Never been dairyized.
Why stop there? A 540 V8 would cure all the problems!Can you fit a turbo ?
Is it making any attempt to lift the arms?
If you have to internal on the hydraulics, it might cost a bit ..........
Filter it would still work especially at the beginning, then die off as it was used?
Steering, well you can see the bits needed, might have a tight kingpin, but that's being optimistic.
Pull him down well on the price or let him do the "handy" stuff before making a deal.
