Now that the MF 2635 has been replaced, I plan to replace my smaller MF 533 (2007 version of the 135) with a Kubota L6060 or, possibly, the comparable JD 4066R.
Will probably go with the Kubota due to past experience with both Kubota and my local Kubota dealer. No experience with the JD dealer and have had multiple bad experiences with local MF dealer.
Never again.

Done!
Yesterday, I bought a Kubota L6060 ROPS to replace my MF 533 "first round" 6' mowing tractor. Yes, I am well aware that the 6060 is not in the same class as the 533 so don't start.
For the first time in my life, I traded a tractor. I have never done this before because I can always do better selling my tractors myself. That said, I wanted the MF out of my barn and traded it for a couple thousand less than I could have sold it for myself.
MY failed MF experiment is over.
Never again.
