I haven't had any dealings with the 1135, but the 1100 we have has been the the most trouble-free tractor we've ever had. It was bought used as a temporary replacement during hay season while the JD4240 got a rebuild (quadrange). The 4240 is in the shed, the 1100 works every day. Don't get me wrong, The 4240 was our primary tillage tractor when we were growing beans and wheat and I don't think JD will ever build another 110hp tractor that will last like this one did (25,000 hrs, 2 in-frames, 2 transmissions, original clutch!)

I grew up in the 70's-80's operating and repairing most brands (all in the 90-120 hp range) and made a living for 15 years repairing them and I've yet to see the inside of any Massey. I guess ours was built on a wednesday...
