Stay away from this, the steering arm is the poorest design I've seen or had, it is the same CLAMP Spline Design as on the MF 165, your dealer has to second to third source it out and the quality is beyond crap, it will under load snap on ya. I consider this tractor design a great Laneway or Driveway Tractor but DO NOT take it into to bush (forest) unless you have a 4x4 Tractor with a real front end loader to haul it out back to the shop. Once the arm cracks due to fatigue welding will NOT fix it, the casting is of poor quality.
