MF 165 is a good farm tractor, and fair util tractor. No 4x4, no hydro(dry disk 6 or 8 gears), Most have power steering, but with a loader it may be questionable on action.
You're gonna have trouble doing some jobs with 2WD. The thing is, just about any tractor you buy can do the jobs you want. The smaller the tractor, the slower the job. I use a vintage Ford 860 with PS for all my util work. I should, and could have a bigger unit, with 4WD, and better PS, and more HP, and, and, and. Fact is, I get by with what my tractor will do.
I have a 12,000Lb roller. I would like to pull it down the runway in spring. I can barely move it with the 860, and would get stuck somewhere if I tried to use it. I use a trick. I put the 8N in front of the 860, hook with a chain, put the roller behind the 860, and drag with a tractor-train. If I had a stiff bar under the front of the 860, I could do the job without steering the 860 at all.
You see, everything can be done with smaller, lighter, less functional tractors. It's just a matter of time, and how much gas you spend.
