    Same old story in the way that if you get one with bad wiring or electronic problems your in a world of hurt. The fill point at the rear it kinda awkward to get at with a drum of diesel as its fairly high. Good power houses I believe if you get a good one. I think that one would be hitting 120 hp ish.

    most will be at least 125hp, we had one and it was the first of them we had, was intialy afraid for electrical problems and the brakes but, they r old enough now for any mechanic to sort, only thing to watch is for if it is data 1 or 2, one is easier to wire around faults than the other. ours was wrote off and couldnt find another at the time so ended up with the replacement from mf- the much feared 6180:D, the 3125 is a bit better balanced but if i needed the hp and couldnt get a good valmet the mf 3125 would be the next call, wouldnt consider nh/ford to be better, just check for normal things as with any tractor
