    i think the electric lifts are more troublesome than the manual, good tractor with lots of power tho

    i have an f140 manual. went for a manual on purpose as electric can be troublesome. theres fierce poke out of mine. mechanic reckons she could be up around 160hp. I put a new hydraulic dromone pick up hitch a few years ago. theres 6k up on it and it needed a cloutch and a gearbox rebuilt at the 5k hours. it is a good bit heavy on diesel in comparison to my 110-90. a nice tractor though.

    Just try and ignore all the warning lights on the dash, neighbours have 2 of them with high hours, good reliable machine, pick up hitches get worn, and as said above with high hours they'd probably need a set of rings.

    If the seat's wet, sit on yer hat, a cool head is better than a wet ar5e.

    Rings. Imho, any high hp machine with big hours will need some work of that nature. So any machine might need that work .

    What ever you do, try to ensure it is the later Mark II version.

    Easiest way to know is the gearbox if it is mark 2 it may have a switch whereas mark I you need to shake the gearstick.
