【Model Description】Why Farmers Choose the Massey Ferguson 231
The MF231 is designed to handle tough, repetitive farm tasks without unnecessary complexity. Its Perkins 2.5L 3-cylinder diesel engine offers strong torque and low fuel consumption, which helps operators work longer while keeping running costs low. This power level is ideal for mowing, tilling, hauling trailers, or supporting livestock operations.
Additionally, the 8-speed sliding gear transmission offers the right amount of speed control for fieldwork and transport tasks. Because the tractor includes a live PTO with a two-stage clutch, users can run implements smoothly, even when ground speed changes. This gives the MF231 a practical advantage over many similar compact tractors.
Although many buyers begin their search intending to purchase a Used Kubota Tractor, they often choose the MF231 after comparing working power, cost-efficiency, and long-term durability. Its simple mechanical structure also makes maintenance easy, even in remote rural areas, and this contributes significantly to its global popularity.
Furthermore, the tractor’s strong chassis and comfortable operator area make it reliable for full-day operations without unnecessary fatigue. Its parts availability is also excellent thanks to long production years and compatibility with other MF models.
