The 150 isn't as common but both tractors share the same power train. The 150 has a heavier front end and axle. The Perkins engines, especially the diesel, are arguably the best engine in their size ever made. They have fuel economy equal to or better than todays engines. The Continental is a very good engine as well. If you're planning to do a lot of loader work, they aren't the best choice unless you install a front mount or PTO pump. For occassional loader use they are fine. Power steering is a bonus but manual steering will still work and has less problems than power steering.
All the hype about them is true. Have had a 1965 UK 135 diesel with multi-power since about 1980. It's needed a new clutch and some other repairs over the years but other than that is as reliable as a claw hammer. It has a loader and manual steering. It can sit for month's and fires up like it had been running 2 hours earlier. Parts are readily available and Heritage parts are available very reasonable. I'd recommend one but still make sure to have it checked out thoroughly before buying.
