In the last 60s to early 70s this 130-139hp class was the biggest row crop tractor you could get.In this class was the 130hp Ford 9000,135hp John Deere 4620-MF1150,Allis Chalmers 220,137hp MM G1350 and the 131hp IH 1456.
I have 2 MF tractors bolth have done lots of choping and filling silo , I have a 180 Diesel and a 65 Diesel , eather would fill my 14X50 with ease , miss the day's and nights of choping with the 180 , I would fall asleep to the sound of the 180 MF and the 717 NH at nights as a kid
Ahh, this takes me back. My grandfather owned two Harvestore silos, one 75 ft and one 25 ft, and I used to enjoy helping him fill them this way.
Massey! 1150 with V8 Perkins is Handsome Workhorse 👍 - Doug in Iowa

What model massey is the wagon on?
Why does it need a V8 tractor just to run a blower to fill a silo?
Depends on how tall the silo is.
