Well never heard of them till now. Just went to there site and looked. I have a 1969 Massey Ferguson 135 Orchard cost me $2,600.00 been using it over 2 years now with out problems. They want $20,000.00 for the bare bones modle your talking about! Mine has more HP can lift 1,000 lbs more with the 3 point and is not that much bigger. I also have power steering, disk brakes, differential lock rear end, Live PTO, Ground Speed PTO, more PTO HP, Low and High Range, much larger rear end and beefier transmission and front axle. So for the money I can also work on mine no electronics or Smog control stuff. I can re/sale it for double what I paid for it also. It would be hard for me to spend the money on a new tractor when the older ones work great still. Kind of like old trucks when you use them for off road work reasons and not freeway flyers. Mark H.
