The 100 series were fantastic tractors, tough and reliable. The 135 and 165 were extremely popular on medium sized family farms in the UK.
Same as the states. They are moving dirt here every day.
Just bought me a nice 1975
MF 165 today, it need a little tlc but runs like a champ!
Called the 165 on our 135 acre "how did I have a happy life" farm "Cybro".... Was watching a lot of Transformers at the time, you can imagine I thought he transformed
Thanks for the run down, I loved it. Yes the 135, 3c is the best all rounder, great for every job fitted with the right equipment.
I think the MF65, mk2 was also right up there as it had loads of grunt when worked hard ploughing in 1H, with a 12" cut two furrow reversible.
The Perkins engines are bullet proof, just change the oil & filter a cupel times a year & they go on forever! Thanks again.
All Massey- Ferguson are no.1 in my world & in my world M-F means Might-Fine TRACTORS PERIOD.Thanks for the video
Really enjoyed the video and l always appreciate the Information you give. I also like watching your channel. My father had a Massey 4360. I currently have a Massey 65 with the gasoline engine. Grand dad farmed with a Massey 175. You do a great job!!!. As well as your staff!! Thanks Dan
I had your #1 choice a Massey 135 with 3 cyl. Gasser engine. It was my 2nd tractor I owned. I bought it about 8 years ago with 2700 hours. Good ole tractor, you could run her hard all day long on less than 5 gallons of gas. I appreciate these types of videos you put out. Thanks for all the work and willingness you put into your channel. 👍💯
I started with a ferguson.135 great. Tractor
Nice to see the Super 90. I spent a lot of hours on one of those. My favorite tractor. Thank you for remembering it. There are so few out there these days.
Thanks CD! This is awesome history. Love it
135 had to be number 1 Massey, best little tractor ever.
First tractor i ever drove when I was a kid. Still have it today and it still scrapes the cows out with ease.
Great explanation of models, Thanks
135 is really popular model. The 150, 165 and the 180 were really good as well.
My dad bought our 135 in 1967 $3200 brand new. It’s Got the flat top fenders. I still have it today. Bought another 135 a few years ago it’s a 1968. Bought after market flat top fenders for it. We have a 375 4wd Massey Ferguson and an 8220 Massey Ferguson. May all time favourite Massey Ferguson is the 1150 V8.
In the 60's and 70's in the UK at various times I drove a MF35, 65, 178, 185, 590 on our farm plus a 135, 165,and 148 on my uncle's farm. The first tractor I drove was the 35. My favourites were the 35, 65 and overall favourite was the 178.
My dad had a 35X
I’ve had a 178, for nearly 40 years,(well used when I got it too). It is a sort of a “hack/tractor “ now and has had 2 engine and 1 transmission re-builds since I got it. It is quite useful still but I think for the hours it has done it is pretty high maintainence. It also seems to me that they tried to cram too much into the rear end with multi-power, p.t.o. pump, power steering , hydraulic pump etc all in a pretty small space. (Very difficult to work on). The oil capacity in the rear is a bit limiting with the front end loader too.
I have 2 Massey Ferguson 35s. I paid $3000 Canadian each. One had a loader with its own pump and reservoir. The other had a snow blower and locking rear differential. I have to admit that the 100 series are the best looking tractors ever made, in my opinion
I enjoyed the video.my dad and I had a few Massey Ferguson pre1980 they were a MF1100,MF1080,MF1105,MF1085,MF275,MF180 and in 1980dad bought his last tractor it was a 2705 out of these tractors I liked the 180 and the1080 the best.
Great, raised on a big farm/ranch with Massy Ferguson s, Super 90, 110 4x4..love to own a 35.
Agree with the number one choice. We had one at my first place of work and it was very impressive particularly when considering it was very modest in size.
the farm my dad worked on when i was a kid here in the UK about 40yr ago had a 2wd 135 with a full cab (what was left of it, the canvas doors and rear canvas window had long gone) it had multi power which meant when it was put into high it went like a bat out of hell
My grandfather had a 1970 MF165. Perkins diesel. No multi power. It was a great tractor. I wish I still had it. I am sure it is still running somewhere.
I'm glad to see that you mentioned the Super 90 but unfortunately you didn't mention its predecessor the 85. We owned and farmed with an 85 for 20 years. The 85 and Super 90 had decent power and were handy size. Our 85 was a first generation gas model with the 225 cu.in. Continental engine but it still pulled our 5-14" fully mounted Massey Ferguson plow in third gear in types of soils and forth gear in easier plowing types. The easily interchangeable front end on yhese tractor was a real plus. We used the adjustable wide front for most work throughout the year on 9ur row rope model and easily changed over to tricycle narrowfront wheels for the two row MF corn picker for the Fall harvest. I spent a lot of sest times the 85. It was just simply a great all around tractor.
Really enjoyed watching the show, god bless stay safe 🚜🚜
Thanks 👍
The 1135 was definitely NOT $3,100 new in 1978.
Absolutely correct, more like $31,500
The estate just sold a 1965 Massey Ferguson 150.
As a youngster I put a lot of hours on that tractor.
A Massey Ferguson 1977 (year purchased) 1085 also sold.
Aftermarket cab BUT as a 15 year old that was a BIG machine to plow with (four furrow).
We all have memories EH!!!!!
Cheers.
Thank you for this video. Helps me to know the ones with continental engines. Miller welders used continental so it may help to get some parts.
The 1135 would have been a wise investment judging by how it's appreciated in value so much.
My dad used to be a mechanic for a Massey dealership before he retired.
He serviced those models.
Finally a Massey top 10 !
I worked for a MF main agent from 1964 to 1977 as a field service engineer I can can say that the quality of the MF products was fantastic we never found any thing wrong during the DPI and rarely had any warranty issues. I only ever remember three product recalls one was a gearbox bearing replacement one was the pilot bearing in the flywheel and the power steering pump although we never had any of these recalls ever fail. I had one strange problem with a new 165 when I went to do the free 100 hour service the customer said it had an oil leak which turned out to be the rear axle nuts were all loose also the wheels were loose and a few other bolts and nuts were loose. I went around the tractor and tightened everything up thinking how has this got out like this. A week goes by and my boss is giving me a bolocking saying that I hadnt done the service properly as I hadnt checked the wheel nuts as they wheels were loose and the customer was complaining I wasnt having that !!! so off I went back and found that the wheels were loose also the axle was loose again !! I noticed that when the tractor was ticking over all the bonnet clips were rattling and I could feel a vibration all over the tractor and thought it was this that was undoing the nuts. I went back to the depot and reported what I thought and a week later the tractor turned up in the depot yard and two engineers from MF Coventry came out to have a look. I said I thought it could possibly be the engine balancer unit was at fault and we should drop the sump to have a look. After a day taking measurements with all sorts of gauges they told us not to touch it and to send the tractor back to the factory get a new tractor out of stock and send it to the customer we never saw the 165 again. Thats customer support. I did have another strange issue with a 165 multipower . The tractor would run fine then suddenly it would stop and try to stall the engine it would belch smoke there would be a loud bang and then it would be ok again for a few days. But thats another story. I will bet no one could guess the fault and its not an engine fault.
Well, I couldn’t keep quite without appreciating the hard work done to put together in bringing a lovely video and very informative one. I have a lovely MF 165 ,very happy with it. Unfortunately we can’t get original spares in India
We have a Massey Ferguson 165 it's been a great tractor had it over 20 years
Love the MF135. Only drove a couple of times. Reverse gear was hard to find on this tractor
I Ireland I had a 590 185 135 and 65 all came new with a cab except the 65 all tractors never had much issues all diesel engines I currently have a massey 290 and a 690
Massey Ferguson was the leader of tractors back in the day. I wish they "Gov't" would stop destroying them with epa bs! They would be the best tractor in the world today. I would love to own a 1150 v8
You got the number one right!! Could you start including where they're made in the next video?
That's good to hear in the voting that one kind of won by a landslide so
good info
Great video. I need a tractor! Screw the old men driving around the neighborhood in golf carts. I would rather cruise to the pool house on my tractor.
I just bought a 1966 180 with the Perkins ,was that a good one.
The king of them all the 135 I had one the last ones made a little different from the others sorry I sold it over the I haf 255 and a 270 I'm planning on my next one will either be a 285 with the 5.2 liter or a 699 with the 5.8 liter Perkins engines in the meantime bring us some more masseys
i used to run a 274 massey, day in day out, it was beat like a rented mule
The 135 did come with several Cab fitments. The best had a fabric wrap-around that could direct warm air from the ngine into the cab!
I have a 1969 135 four cylinder gas, my dad and I bought it in march 1969 right before I graduated from high school. It has 9240 hours on it now, engine has been overhauled twice no multi-power no power steering other than overhauling the engine and replacing tires nothing else ever touched.
MF135 with Perkins diesel is one of my favorites.
How many hp did the continental z-145 engine have?
Muy grand pa buy new back in the days, two 1100,two1150 and latter one 1135 the only one still working on the ranch it's 1135🤷🏻♂️, regards from Tamaulipas, Mèxico.
I have a massy froguson 185 that has a cab on it and it came with the cab when it was bought but it is form Australia
Good video as always but the audio was really low
185 was the first tractor I drove
*What up Big Smoke!*
Hi, Good video, i have a MF 240 and my dad has a 575 4wd, we have had the 240 since new ie 1982. There are videos of the MF 240 on my UA-cam profile
My Massey Ferguson 35 is from 1957 and has a 4cyl Continental Diesel engine. These were made in England before Perkins was purchased by Massey Ferguson.
Still using a 180 just a good old tractor !
The 135 is definitely #1
We had a Super 90 with a cab.
The 35 was also offered with a 4 cylinder diesel
No 230 Perkins , I love mine..
Nice run-down of the tractors, Most of those were available in Europe and ill say separately in Britain and Ireland as the ones sold in those areas were built in England, whereas the European Continental tractors were built in France. British Built Tractors had some differences to the French Built ones. Hitches for starters and others also, Hydrolics fittings were also different.
By the way, the way we in Europe say the names of those is One Three Five, not One Thirty Five enc. and all tractors were offered with Cabs in Europe as it was Law, From 1st September 1977 all tractors, including those built before 1970, will have to be fitted with a safety cab when they are used by a worker.
In Fact all others had to have an Anti-Roll-Bar fitted id used on the road.
And while you mentioned the 185, you forgot the likes of 175, 178, 188, 165, 168., 145 and 148
175 was 3 speed hi and lo with/without MultiPower as was the 185 and165 and 145 where as the 148, 168 and 188 were 4 speed Hi and Low No MultiPower. The 188 was also a little longer than the 185.
The safety Cab offered was the FlexiCab. A very nice cab indeed for its time.
Multipower was an option on all of them, have a 188 multipower here among many Massey's
Good info
We have a lot of these tractors in Guyana
Working most in rice industry. MF 399 4wd. MF 290
@@mahindraramsaywack2386 399 is a solid workhorse and the 290 is really a 188 with the 590 like cab (not flat platform floor though) and tin work. A very solid tractor in whatever guise it is in, 175, 178, 185, 188, 590 and 290,
How about 2200mf z134 any information
Truly the MF 100 series tractors 🚜 are the most popular and reliable tractors that are still running around the world 🌎. I own a MF165 square rear axles with A4-248 engine fitted with 30 inches rear tyres that gives great power in all applications to our sugarcane farms in Fiji 🇫🇯 Islands 🏝.
Got to love the ole 35 though
Learned how to farm on a MF150 ....dad still has it and she is used daily arnd the old farm....just a great dependable tractor
agree with the 135 as # 1, but the 188 should have made the list especially over the 185 , the 188 came in more options , ie 4x4 and brute power
185 and 188 are the same tractor bar the length difference. 188s the best tractor I have
what about the 65 MKII
Love 165 good mowing tractor
No cab on 135 or 185? They came standard here with the Flexicab, and Massey made them in Britain! The 165 we owned was the greatest hardship of any tractor we had owned. Early Massey here also had a TVO engine option, did you get that in the States, we traded one in in 1973 to buy a new Zetor 4718, best tractor we ever owned, I hated parting with it after 35 years....
The cab or the TVO engine would not a option here in the states at all that's a shame
Here in Scandinavia they mainly came with swedish made cabs, Fernmo and Sepson. Both way nicer(and better looking) than the few british cabs Ive seen.
Perkins Engines are the best, You can Keep the rest!🤪
I feel like the Ferguson TE20 should’ve been on there
but what makes these tractor good end good enough to be among the top 10?
MF 590 had A4.248 (4,1 l diesel engine). MF 595, 1080, 1085 had A4.318 which was 5,2 L.
I am looking for olvier row crop a 60 or 77
The 590 had a 4.1 Litre engine. Not a 5.1 as stated. The 1080,595 and 698 had a 5.2 Litre engine.
Number 1 needs to be the massey ferguson tea 20 the little grey fergie its a beast of a tractor
Strickly speaking the TEA 20 wasnt a Massey it was a Furguson it only became Massey with the 35
I had a 150 MF tractor 🚜 nice little bush hog tractor very easy on fuel ⛽
MF 135 is a good tractor, but wait for the diesel
The T.O. 35 is probably 1 of the 10 ten tractors ever made. If you took the sheet metal off of a 135, the basic tractor is still a T.O.35.
For some of the models you state the buyer had a choice of like 2 different gas engines , or 2 different displacement diesel engines. Did you really have a choice, or did you just end up with whatever MF was installing at the time? I think like with the 135 for a while they used Continental gas, then Perkins gas, and then back to Continental, but the buyer didn't really have a choice when ordering/purchasing.
Hello brother, I want Massey Forksen size 265 old shape can you please refer me?
I spent many a hr on a 275 open station hi arc indestructible
In Ireland Massey 35’s are about €3500 to €7000
The only tractor I like better than 135 is 203 workbull but the to30 is my daily driver
Id love to find another super 90 in any conditoin!
I have one I might sell
Is Crazy D Equipment a dealership company. I worked for JD Sweargen Equipment Company Mariana Florida.
Yes we are a dealership but we don't handle new anymore we just handled use machinery
*A MF-135 brand new costs 10k€ here in Balkans!*
I have been a Fergie lover all my life.
"If she ain't Red,
Leave her in the shed."
MF 390 & 390T are becoming very sought after in the UK and Ireland . A classic MF hands down but never made the list here.
List is of earlier Massey, 390 is too new to be on it
new Massey Ferguson tractor
Ferguson started well with the TE 20, and later the 35 and 65, but things really got going with the 135 and 165, though the 148 was a more capable machine than the 135 with much the same engine, Perkins three cylinder.
The 188 and 185 were less good with some particular problems with sump oil burning [Perkins 248 cu in four cylinder engine] and some fairly catastrophic transmission failures. We had a 188 that stopped in a gateway, literally locked by transmission failure. The repair solved the issue for the rest of the tractor's life.
Obviously I am writing in the UK, where the production was in Coventry.
Thank you for the North American perspective.
Best wishes from George
top ten simplicity tractors
Ive never seen a 35 with a Grey fergy bonnet before ? . Looked weird . I guess the American / Canadian markets were different to the UK - I own a MF135 again mine looks weaker on tyhe rear end to that of freinds of mine in Canada
I make part of my living with a MF135 Gas
Grey gold 35 ,35x 1100 185
My fave is 35x
I want to visit farm and see
I think the MF 590 was available in Europe in 1976
Yes it was available in Europe in 1976,we bought one new here in Ireland early in 1976
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
