I am now looking at a nice old MF50 (1962 model year I believe). Any input on this model would be appreciated. Very clean tractor. Thanks

Does anyone know anything about these tractors? Parts availability? Quality? There is one for sale near me with a loader. Looks like a nice tractor for $4250.

Anyone have any advise on these tractors? I saw one at a dealer up here for $5950 with 2200 hours on it. They have it marked as a 1974 but tractordata.com indicates they were made in 1975-76. Is he overpriced? It looks to be in nice shape. Any info on these tractors would be appreciated. I...

I just recently moved to TN and have 5 acres. I am looking for a tractor and the Yanmar 1700 caught my eye. I have seen a huge price range as I have scoured the dealers. I have found them from $2200 to $3100. Is this the ballpark for these things?? I ran across one today for $2200 from a...
