the tractors that you have posted are very much in a different league than a 165. what jobs do you have planned etc, whats wrong with the 165. Dont think I have ever come across a dud mf165. We still retain one from years gone by and still does 50 important hrs a year

i would be using it for ploughing, rotavator (ill be buying one in while),spreading fertilizer,bring in bales of hay in summer,transport box work i.e. picking stones,bringing logs down,fencing.ect

oil leak between engine and gear box(i was planning on doing this during the winter) ,breaks went the last day when spreading fertilizer,there's a problem with the hydraulics (one min it says up the next it drops some times it wont go up for a while)

tats about it

I love the Lambourgini with only 5960 hours on it. I'll bet they are genuine

It has soft wheels on it too - looks like it was just pushed out of the shed for the photographer.

I'd stay well away from it, if he's selling it that low, he just wants rid of it because its too expensive to fix!

your budget is a bit tight you need a tractor in the 80+ HP bracket. Anything decent will cost more than 4500. Decide on your priority do you need 4WD etc. You also have to remember you might be better off spending a bit more than drawing trouble on yourself.

i was talking to the fellow who wanted to buy the tractor he was offering too low so i think ill hold on to it do it up during the winter and it should be fine for next year any ideas what would be wrong with the hydraulics any help
thanks

i was looking at the hydraulics last night and i noticed that when i put the lever for the pto down nothing happens but when i put the lever all the way up my lift arms goes up at the way it was before it started acting up and goes ok for a while then its back to its old ways again. i dont want to change the pump as its over 200 euro:eek: anybody now whats wrong with it thanks
