I have a chance to buy a MF 230 with (not sure of brand) loader, hay forks, brushhog, for $13,5000. It's a 99 model with 198 hours. Has been stored inside a barn, and looks to be in excellent condition. I don't know much about tractors, but this one seems like a good deal. Size and HP are just right for my needs.

Thanx,

What is the HP on a 231? Is it availiable in 4WD? I don't know much about the smaller tractors. Been stuck in the city and just bought a small place in the sticks. Wanted to do some improvements, and need a small tractor with lots of HP. I used to spend alot of time in my youth helping my uncle, but all his tractors were huge beasts. ....

The MF231s on massey home page said 45 PTO 48 engine horse power from a perkins engine. did not see a 4wd listed for this tractor. This is a 2 ton tractor so it will do most anything but mow a front lawn. A lot of the 23X series are used around farms for cleaning barn stalls of manure and straw, and with sprayers for some crops. Its a tweener to big for some jobs and to small for others but they seem to last forever. ....

I don't know much about Massey tractors, but what ever you buy make sure it has a front wheel assist.
Having the front wheels powered makes using a loader so much easier.
