I gotta find a FEL for my Massey. It looks naked with out one, Joe.
Since my little MF is used in the woods I took the loader off .
The MF135 we have doesn't have a loader either but since it doesn't have power steering , it won't get one .

I was playing with the 135 today. Was looking at the fan while it was running. I was thinking "dang, that thing has a lot of wobble in it!", and it started spitting antifreeze in my face. Guess I'll order a new water pump in the morning, Joe.

It has an 8hp Kohler, really all it needs, as it never runs a power robbing mower...

My buddy had a 70 455 Cutlass Convertible, and painted it 70 Mopar Sassy Grass Green. Being a die hard Mopar guy, I thought it made the Cutlass look better, Joe.Ford blue MF. As bad as some one wanting a JD and painting another brand JD green.

These followed me home from a sale and the gantry too. What a riot to put up using a tractor that wouldn't lift high enough. Yup that's a steel beam 12' high sitting on skids. I'm using it for my Grandsons swing. I like to make stuff strong enough, actually it was cheaper than a sheetmetal swingset.
Those Stieners make good skidders for small stuff if you have the weight bar for the front. I have a 430max with, dual wheels, setting in my shed I havent cranked in several years. Only has about 400 or so hours on it. I bought a Ventrac and sort of left the Stiener to just rust away. I need to get it out and see if it will crank, tires are dry rotten, flat, and cracked, probably wont hold air.
Give you a hunret cash for the rusty neglected iron with the flat tires ....

I love playing with my Steiner in the bush but it is also dangerous being so small and playing with big wood. It would be great for tops but I try to pull big trees with it. I bought the 2 used ones to have a spare for weed spraying, lawn sweeping and blade work. I will fix both up and likely sell one of them so that the other is "free". Got mower decks and hydraulic blades with them too. All need work and the price reflected that.
I know for a fact you can turn those stieners over. A buddy wanted to try mine out and flipped it on level ground in my front yard. I flipped it unloading it off a trailer. You have to keep weight on the front or your just asking for it. I have a bunch of attachments for mine and they all fit the ventrac. I dont use either tractor or any of the attachments anymore. One day I am going to clean everything up and sale them, but I keep thinking I might need them again.
