Nice tractor I'm from the states I own a massey 135 it's a 1972 with a 3 cylinder perkins gas, I was in a hurry and didn't pay attention when I bought it but it's a vineyard model and the axles are 4inches shorter on each side. I'd like to find one but in America they hold there value so I cant find one for under $5000. But I'll only buy massey tractors i think there the most reliable tractor in 50hp made and so do a lot of others I hope there new tractors are as dependable as the ones from 50s, 60s, and 70s maybe even 80s. Great video
I love these tractors..but prefer the ones that do not have the big ugly square fenders or the weird looking headlights in the grill. small rounded fenders and external side-mounted round headlights look much better IMHO. I wonder why they made them 2 different ways?
I have a mf 135 myself with the same front load and how do you lift front loader without lifting the 3 point linkage ? Would really appreciate the help
There is a small lever on a block on top of the transmission that can be set to operate the front loader, or the rear links, or supply the hydraulics to raise the pallets on the rear. I don't know how it has been set up - it was already done when I bought it. Hope this helps.
I like these older tractors. This one starts easily, even on the coldest mornings. It does everything that I need it to do and if I can continue to maintain it properly and generally be careful it should have plenty of years left in it. It is surprising how many people I talk to learned to drive on tractors like this. The bad news is that I really don't know what the front loader is. There is a model plate on the side but there is nothing on it. When I have searched photos of similar loaders none have seemed to fit exactly. I think a number of these loaders have either been altered to add hydraulics or have extra bits welded on to strengthen or repair them.
@@longhayltd9241 The same story goes here! This was the first vehicle I drove. My grandpa teached me to drive it when I was 11! It was quite reliable, we had a big trailer made by him that we would put hay or haybales, wheat, corn anything it was needed for. And it can pull some weight! To bad for the loader. I see them with loadets that have to have some supports on the front of the tractor too and I saw this one is not that way. Thank you!
Hi. Thanks for subscribing. I am in North Hertfordshire. There are more videos to come regarding the MF 135 - transmission oil change and trying to obtain a V5 registration document.
I have 34 acres of woodland and 6 acres of hay meadows plus a small amount of local grassland contracting. No livestock. I wound down most of the contracting around 10 years ago. It wasn’t a great earner but taught me a lot.
@@colmanlong1032 The V5 is the DVLA registration document similar to the one required for a car. A lot of these old tractors don't have one (often lost). Trying to get one can be a bit of a nightmare.
@@longhayltd9241 my father had 135 all his farming life, tractor done 50 years of workalmost every day, virtually trouble free,one of the best tractors ever built.
Common just say you love the 135 Massey since it is the best tractor ever. Love it myself

I haven't heard of that misconception. Where did you get that idea from.
