    Yeah, the 12's were pretty good, used to get compared to the International 440's that could do several strokes a minute more but whatever. That's in NZ anyway, hay is no longer a big thing here like it used to be, I used to help my dad pick up 1000 -2000 bales on a 120 acre farm back in the day.

    Getting up 12,000 bales in a summer, he was a hard worker.

      After buying the 245 he started baling with it and used the 135 for the rest! Thanks for watching!

    I got a 135-MF and it has been a good tractor. I also have the 65-MF (recently restored) row crop model. As well, I have the all gray Ferguson-30, you don't have enough money to buy my toys...i am truly a Ferguson fan!

    I knew a man that made a 3 point hitch for the front of his tractor and he put one of those rakes on the front with the wheels turned backwards and it would rake the wind row to the side and it would go perfectly into the baler pick up and his brother would be on the wagon on the back behind the baler stacking so they did it all in one pass

    • @khtractors

      This video wasn’t about raking and baling it was about talking. I’ve released a couple weeks worth of hay videos recently if that’s what you want.

    • @khtractors

      I think the first year for a 135 was 1964. Prior to that it was a 35. Not sure the exact year of mine. Very good tractors! Thanks buddy!
