Look at the next level tractor. I was looking for a MF135 and ended up with a MF165 for less money. 52 HP vs 38 for the 135. As the old saying goes, you can do a small job with a big tractor but you can't do a big job with a small tractor. I had (and still have a TO35) but it has been relegated to finish mowing and pulling the arena drag. I still can't believe how much easier and quicker farm tasks are with the 165. Finally, its folks like us (small operators) who keep the pricing for small tractors (8N's, 135's etc) inflated. Around here, the higher HP tractors such as the 165's go for less because the perception is that for a small operation (20 - 50 acres) you only need a small tractor. My 165 is a category 1 and uses the same equipment I was using with the TO35, only quicker and eassire.
