My brothers wanted a 3120 and were advised by the mechanic at their local MF dealer not to buy one because they had so much engine power they bust themselves. o they went for the 3125, which has been an excellent tractor and they still have it.more rear lift iam sure on a 3125 & chassis slightly longer with a taller bonnet wasnt it?
Dunno how a 3120 was so powerful it broke itself its just the earlier version of the 6180
only diff was Wet clutch & Much better Cab on the 6100 series.
There was twice as many 3095's as ever 3120's i think.
But both diff tractors it was more than just a Turbo the difference in them
Pal of mine had an early 3125 speedshift & you went canny with it or the speedshift unit gave trouble
it was later replaced with a dynashift 3135 which was a much improved model
I must have had the monday built 6180 coz it was a good one.My brothers wanted a 3120 and were advised by the mechanic at their local MF dealer not to buy one because they had so much engine power they bust themselves. o they went for the 3125, which has been an excellent tractor and they still have it.
About the same time as they bought the 3125, I bought a 6180 and this was the most unreliable tractor I have ever had!
Gearbox gears were made of chocolate!
Hence when Varity took MF over, they sorted out the hardening process and rebadged the tractor as a 6280.
Are both axles prone to stripping the splines if not greased?main difference was bigger front axle from the 3600 series
3120 are excellent tractors and have more torque and torque rise than the 3215. In MF-speak the 3120 had the newer generation Dyna-torque engine, along with the 3095 and the 3075, but no other 3000 series tractor. These were what was later generally called 'constant-power' type engines.My brothers wanted a 3120 and were advised by the mechanic at their local MF dealer not to buy one because they had so much engine power they bust themselves. o they went for the 3125, which has been an excellent tractor and they still have it.

Just check all electrical functions work. Same checks as other used tractors,oils,brakes test hydralic pressure. Puh is prone to wear but the right man with a lathe can sort it for not too much money also if hitch is badly worn get it sorted asap as theres a big guiding bar on top of hitch and if the hitch goes to the side as its being raised it can catch on the guides and can result in shearin of the things that lift the arms whatever their called as thier cast and are expensive. Also check front axle pivot bushings for wear as they can wear the shaft comin from the diff and its not a cheap fix. But all in all there a pretty good tractorWhat do I need to look out for when buying one of these and what's the best procedure for testing the transmission? Are there any delays in particular powershifts to be aware of?
What about the autotronic/datatronic is there anything I can check on this? Thanks in advance
