What do you guys think of 65 HP Massey's? Im suppose to be going to look at them and im not familiar with the model numbers yet. I will have more information tomorrow. Before that can anyone give me any information on how good these tractors are at pulling?

Well seeing as how you have not said if you are looking new or used,or from what era it makes it kinda hard to pin point. MF has always been know for quality under 100hp utility tractors. They are now also becoming known for quality over 100 hp tractors. MF is the number 1 selling brand of tractor in the world,and has held this honor for 35 years .

While growing up on the farm, my father had 2 MF31 Industrial 65 HP tractors. We did everything with those tractors from pulling a 3 bottom plow, 8' and 10' discs, New Holland 278 square baler with a 8' by 16' wagon behind it. When the hay was done and the wagons were full, we'd hook 2 together and pull them many miles home. We put 4' sides on those same wagons and pick corn in the fall and never had any trouble.

My memories of those tractors and their reliability and toughness prompted me to purchase a MF 4225 a little over a year and 3 months ago. The tractor is 65 engine HP and 55 pto HP. It is a cab tractor with a gear transmission and to date, it has been a great tractor.

I personally believe you can't go wrong if you buy a Massey Ferguson tractor /forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif.
