looking for a MF 4wd 45 hp older tractor: recommendations?

[MF in Canada]

Hello MF friends,

I posted this question on the general tractor talk list, but here it is for you MF specialists.

I have a 1981 MF 245 diesel, which I like very much. It's 2wd, and I'd like to add a second tractor to my fleet, very similar to the 245... but 4wd.

My criteria are 4wd, diesel, loader, NO electronics, downpressure on the loader, not too ancient but not too modern... you get the idea... I want something strongly built and simple.

The MF series numbers are totally baffling to me, so I wonder if you all have any suggestions on models to look for?

Thanks!
Eric

MF 243 might be what you want, one in 4wd with 8x8 transmission and loader.

I had considered one, have a 240 2wd here. 243 these were built in UK like the 240. The 245 was a US built model close to the 240.

243 for example, not mine of course.
