[QUOTE=Meyers Farms;2747256]1990's Massey Ferguson 231. It is a little newer than the Massey 135 you are talking about but is a great tractor. They are a very basic, no frills, all mechanical tractor. My father has owned one since new in 1993. He has used it with a 5' bush hog, 5' finish mower, 5' rototiller, and 2 bottom plow. It has pulled countless other implements but those were its' mainstay. It has been a flawless.
I have seen a couple of the 231 on market place. Not opposed to them. Just threw them 2 tractors out there for a size and hp example. On the new kubota deal. Cant afford one at the moment. Like posted I just bought a house in this highly inflated market. So new is out of the question for a couple years. These old tractors run for ever with little to no real mechanical issues.
