MF 135

[Corey148]

How feasible is it to place a front end loader on a Massey Ferguson 135 and how much money are we talking about. I have read a good bit of information on them and it seems there were very well built tractors. Just curious on how strong the front axles were on these and is it worth purchasing a fel kit.

There are many MF 135 tractors with FELs, and used FELs to fit a 135 should not be difficult to find.

The front axle is stout enough for utility FEL work but not excavation.

Had one on my 135 Deluxe, the Loader is hard on the power steering. Hand no problems as far as the axles. Sold the loader off of mine, now waiting to have the power steering gone through AGAIN.

A 135 is a common tractor for a loader. Hard to give an answer on how much it would cost. A decent used loader would probably be a $1000 or more, a new one could be over $4000. Do you have aux. hydraulics or do you need to set that up? A loader running off of the 3 pt. pump will work but will be fairly slow. If you have the swept back front axle, it's best to put new bushings front and back in the axle where it pivots. They only come with one bushing from the factory.

As far as the tractor, they are arguably the best tractor in their HP range ever built.
