 North East Arkansas | My father & grandfather bought a new 180 Diesel in 1968. 1972 they bought their first 1100 and the 180 was delegated to planting and other chore duties. My grandfather done all the planting with it using 4 row Burch planter. (Him and another man in the community we're known for their ability to plant a straight row.) Like several have already stated the Perkins was easy on the fuel and started good in cold weather. I enjoyed the ease of getting on and off tractor and the large platform space. Complaints we experienced multi-power was great when it worked and hydraulics preformed slow and weak.
Then we made a terrible mistake in 1983 traded the 180 in on a new MF 2745, 24 speed. | |
