The one in better condition would be the better choice given equal options. That said... the 3000 will have live hydraulics... something the 135 will not have... I also think those Perkins engines are some of the most over rated things ever produced. They're not bad engines but they've got nothing over the Ford as far as I'm concerned. Just different disadvantages... Perkins may be a touch more efficient but I'd expect it to come at the expense of longevity... The Ford is tougher from what I've seen. Around here you'll probably find a decent diesel, 8 speed/live PTO 3000 for around 5 grand. The 135 will probably be a bit more expensive... and it won't do any more work. So... I'd suggest going with the more economical of the two for a given condition.
