Good sensible buy! It'll only increase in value. Even on a small farm it's worth having 2 tractors, even though my second one doesn't get much use its handy when I need it.
Re: starting ease; the 135 uses the noble Perkins 4-107 (or 8) British-built diesel. That engine has "pre-combustion chambers" in the head which help w/cold starts. Congratulations on your acquisition of the 390. You'll never regret that purchase. Always enjoy your videos!
390 with the 3 lever gearbox was the first 4 wheel drive tractor many farmers bought, i wish you every success with it and hope it serves you well for many years to come.
Just fixed a 3 cylinder Massey 135 diesel and delivered it to the owner like yourself,she had a big smile 😊😊. That one of yours you be able to put a decent Slasher and post hole driver. Our we still aloud to talk to you now with that big boy 😅😅😅
Hi great video aways watch them , Remember if you put new Tyers later the tractor will be 2 3 inches higher just thinking about the roof alterations 😮 many thanks for the videos .
Might be worth looking for a second hand set of rear wheels in a smaller size, I was going to say if you get new look for a lower profile but that would probably be pointless as they'd be the same size as they are now. I'd say a pair of rear wheels next size down would be your best bet can pick them up reasonably priced sometimes for the 80s/90s tractors@@karenmoynihanfarm
Don't change the rear wheel size. The gear ratio with the front wheels will be wrong, it will destroy the gears and front axle. Stick to original sizes for your type of work.
My parents owned a mf398 4x4 and a mf399 4x4 both had mf 848 loaders . There are a few things to watch for with those tractors . Where the steel fill tube goes in the fuel tank over time they let water in . There is a screen in the fuel pump on right side of tractor should be cleaned once a year .The gear oil in the front axle and in the hubs also the breather vents on all three . The planitary gears and barrings are alot of money you don't want that expence yhe oil goes in the hub its self behind the wheel . On the Ebrake the pin that holds the cables to the brake handle likes to wear the cutter pin don't let the pin fall out it is very hard to get back in the cables!!!! If you have any questions please ask .
Hi Karen. Nice to see you back from your break and can see in your face how much you needed this as with day work and Farm work am surprised just how much work you do get done. Nothing is easy in life let alone on the Farm and WOW with the 390 you will be surpirsed just how easily it will do what you ask if it. The cow and the bully dressed out nicely fo you as well and they had all the right numbrs from grading so be proud of that knowing what you are doing is working. Oh yes the Hydrualic control is a great item to have and saves so much time as well once you get used to it then you will see the Value it the 390. Good luck in what you from here on in and as always be safe and love the work you do a solo young Women. Aussie Bob.
Well ware Karen, a lovely 390, they like a bit of heat before they start, if it hasn't it all ready a high speed starter motor makes a huge difference.
Hi Karen, you have lived out your dream of owning a MF 390 tractor. With you working full time does puts pressure on getting the chores done on the farm. The MF 150 has been an amazing tractor helping your family out since the 1970, but there are some jobs it struggles with now. Some people buy cats or dogs, but you buy a tractor. Now the weather is improving it will be easier having all the cattle outside. Enjoy your new toy. Chris from Victoria, Australia 🇦🇺.
Well wear Karen, best of luck with it!..... you're not alone with fretting before a big purchase.... I still do 30 year on! But that soon passes when you see the versatility it brings you. When you work off farm you have make things easier at home. That tractor will give you good service.
Well wear on your new purchase, of course it had to be a Massey Ferguson what else could they work 😀 if you just let some air out of the back tyres it might fit into the shed, just a temporary solution.
Well done Karen great choice of make model and age of a tractor. Best of luck with your purchase. Cant wait to see ya bringing in bales with it during the summer 🤠🤠
My dad had 3 390 tractors when i was growing up, the first one he had was a 390T with the 3 stick gear box it was a 1990 model on a G reg, the other 2 had the 12/12 and were On M reg, lovely wee tractors
Well done on your purchase they hold there value brilliantly. If it doesn't have one put an isolation switch on it. It can prevent a electrical fire and also prevent batteries draining. Love the videos
W0W! Karen, such a nice tractor. I too am a Massy fan. The smile and grin on your face says it all. About time that you treated yourself girl! I wish you well. Pleased you are keeping your grandads tractor, which has served you well. Keep up your good work ❤️
That's a great purchase, you'll be very happy with it. I've worked on them and it's and good mechanical tractor with no computer parts. Should last you a long time. It's a perfect size for your operation. Proud of your wise decision. Don't loose any sleep. Great tractor..... and you look awesome sitting in it. Have a great day Karen.
Well done loverly tractor looked after and washed down well after spreading fertiliser it will do all you need for another 50 years,these newer tractors full of electrics will never last that long,great comment about getting a weight block with a quick coupler on the back
Great video. Congratulations on buying the 390, it’s not a 390T as you said but think of it as your 390G. It’s perfect for you, it’ll last just as long as the 135 if minded. My 390T starts like my 135, first tip of the key as they say, maybe check the battery cables, starter motor connections & earth to maximise the initial cranking speed. Buy the Loader you have on demo even if it’s on Hire Purchase and don’t put a front loader on the 390. If it doesn’t have one already get a battery isolator fitted, do the same with the 135 while you’re at it… keep them safe from electrical fires when parked-up. Keep up the good work.
Good upgrade on your tractor, they are not cheap but in fairness most tractors hold their value, its nice horsepower, sensible tractor, in good condition with good level of comfort for u, u need some element of comfort for your hard work, well done Karen, when u get a few spare euro spend it on your 135 and keep it for nice small second tractor, well done Karen, good luck with your new tractor, when u pick a loader take time and pick the correct one for your sheds and work load, something that is quick attach and detach, easy and quick if u want take it off, well done, up and onwards, u deserve the new tractor, 😊
Hi Karen..delighted for you and your 390 purchase. Excellent choice and it will not disappoint ..now you will have to look forward to buying bigger equipment...powerbox..trailer, tanker etc..👍😁
Well ware with the 390. We had a 2wd drive 390 for 14 years and did everything, drew bales with a single handler, agitated slurry with a wexoman agitator, pulled a 1600 gallon tank, drew silage for a relation with a 16ft redrock, cut all the silage at home 70 acres a year with an 8ft 6 class disco mower, spread fertilizer with a 1 ton spreader. Great tractor. Like your story time is an issue with us we changed it so we could draw 3 bales at a time and things got bigger at home machinery wise.
Hey Karen, Well look at you, Going all up town with the new tractor to you. Congratulations on your purchase too. Enjoted your video, Thanks for sharing.
Good tractors the 390 good all rounder,we made a low profile cab for them where I used to work at Alexander Duncan tractor cabs Aberdeen, 390 very good investment!🚜
Well done with the 390 Karen! Your hard work brought the tractor . The Lord knows you deserve newer equipment to make it easier for ya . Good luck with it. Take care! From Virginia,USA
Well wear with the new tractor. Honestly once you have the front loader on it, you won't know yourself. You'll wonder how you ever managed without it. 👍👍👍
Karen, you definitely carry load on your shoulders !!! I pray God continues to strengthen you !!!! Please take care of yourself !!! Be careful and God bless you and yours !!!! Eddy
Hey wish you the best with the new Tractor it might not be new but it new to you and that what count. For you to come in and help your Father I know it mean a lot to him for the help you have done. So enjoy the Tractor and just remember you work to give the Tractor and just be careful in using it.
Congratulations and best of luck with the 390 those tractors are almost bullet proof. Have a two wheel drive at home here along with a john deere 6310 and front loader and the 390 is the tractor picked for 80% of the jobs so youve made a wise choice

Congratulations on your tractor purchase. 390 4wd is perfect for you, it is just a upgraded 135. Good luck with it
At least with that new tractor you can put a loader on it to help you feed up in the winter. Great tractor and well done
