[QUOTE="jltrent, post: 1147472, member: 21075"] We bought this MF 285 new in 1981. It has around 2500 hours on it now and bout the only thing ever done to it was the clutch replaced at 2000 hours. When we first got it the tractor would pto dyno 86hp and pull a 12 knife cutterhead chopper in fourth gear with ease. The transmission on these is pretty solid and the neighbor has a MF4270 which is a 110 hp tractor and the rear axle looks from the outside just like the MF 285. It has a 318 Perkins engine which seems solid and will burn less fuel than either of my Kubota M9000 or M6800. If you can find one in good shape they are good tractors. It still has its original paint. [img]https://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/479x362q90/96/002cvg.jpg[/img] [/QUOTE]
