You have pretty cheap add on kits for the 135. But I don't think this one has power steering. It's just the weight of the mower what makes steering easier :)
I'm not running any weights on the front, I keep the tail wheel on the ground pretty much all the time (I have no need really to raise it up very high). I don't have power steering so I don't want to run more weight than needed. If I had power steering I would put a couple of hundred pounds on the front (with the tail wheel on the gound all the time it steers easy, and I don't have to use the brakes to turn).
Hi I just purchased a massey ferguson 135 and a woods prd 8400 finishing mower. The mower weights 830lbs. Does anyone see any issues running this combination? Any advice will be greatly appreciated thanks.
The MF 150 diesel has the same engine as the 135 diesel (Perkins ad3.152). The 150 is for the most part a MF 165, but with the smaller 3 cylinder diesel engine. My brother has a MF 150 diesel with multi-power, it's a great tractor, and I ran the same 84" mower in this video behind it with no problems.
The US made 135's didn't have that, the entire hood (bonnet) hinges over to the right hand side. I wish it had the UK style bonnet with the center piece because I like those better, but they are rare here, and very expensive if you can find one not beat up. I could order one from the UK, but it would cost 1/3rd of what I paid for the whole tractor when I bought it.
Cool video ... that baby is chopping it up!
Wish I could turn my 135 with one hand. Epic little tractor but I wish it had power steering.

great video btw !!
I have a 165 and I just purchased a 7ft John Deere bush hog. It sure seems heavy. Are you running any kind of weights on the front?

Only a 135 has the grunt to do this job
Tim Boothman yes lots of horses in a smaller package

Good
That cutter is not too much for it? Doesn’t choke the tractor down?
It handles it pretty good ruclips.net/video/1V_jtdp7EOo/видео.html
I'm looking at buying a MF 150 diesel. I believe has the same enginee as the 135, just larger frame. Think it's big enough for my needs??

Just wondering what year that 135 is ?
1967
@@fiat38 Thanks 👍
What type of brush cutter is that?
It's a Woods Cadet (model 84-2), it's pretty heavy, and very tough mower.
Not a 135 , no center piece on bonnet
