The real issue I'm going to have is explaining to my wife's grandpa why I'm buying a new tractor when his 1960's MF 165 is included with the farm.
It not that I don't want it, it still runs, but is lacking brakes and the clutch is a bit worn. I'm hoping to have it gone through next spring and get it going, but for now I need to have something that works to get the projects moving along. It does have a bit more horsepower and 3 times the weight of the compact one, so it will get used when it's time to plow or pull the small one out of the mud.
