The Massey Ferguson 231S is a sturdy utility tractor produced from 1999 to 2003 as part of the MF 200 One Series. Built in Istanbul, Turkey, this model delivers strong performance with simple maintenance, which attracts farmers searching for cost-efficient and reliable machines. Many users who start by comparing a Used Kubota Tractor also consider the MF231S because it combines high power, robust engineering, and straightforward operation.
Its open operator station with a folding ROPS and optional canopy ensures safety and comfort during long working hours. Because the tractor handles a wide range of implements, it is suitable for mixed farming, transport jobs, and general field operations.

【Model Description】Why the Massey Ferguson 231S Stands Out in the Used Tractor Market
The MF231S is appreciated for its powerful 2.7L Perkins diesel engine, which delivers steady torque and excellent reliability. This strength helps farmers work efficiently while maintaining fuel economy. Because the tractor has simple mechanical systems, maintenance remains easy and cost-effective—even in regions with limited access to specialized service.
Moreover, the 8-speed sliding gear transmission offers flexibility for plowing, mowing, hauling, and more. Operators benefit from the power-assist steering, which makes handling smoother during long days in the field.
Although some buyers begin by searching for a Used Kubota Tractor, many decide that the MF231S offers more working power at a competitive price. Additionally, it is well-suited for global environments thanks to its durable construction and strong hydraulic capacity, which supports a wide range of attachments.
Its stable chassis and functional operator station make it comfortable and safe, while the optional canopy provides shade in hot climates.
【Attachments】Compatible Implements
The MF231S supports many attachments, including:
-
Front-end loader
-
Rotary tiller
-
Rear mower
-
Box blade
-
Trailer
-
Cultivator
-
Disc plow
This versatility allows farmers to use one tractor for multiple seasonal tasks.
