Does the MF 2605 Leak oil?

[DavidMF231]

I am very close to purchaing a MF2605 or 2615 but I just read where there are problems with these tractors leaking oil. Is this true? Are there problems? I have owned a 231 for 20 years and I have never had any problems and I am very pleased. This is why I was thinking of buying another one. I thought the Perkins motor was the same they have used for over 50 years

Our 1976 MF 265 has been a serious leaker for years but not the Perkins engine.

i have 50 hours on my new 2605 and it does not leak anything.

I have owned a 2650 since 2010 and I have had no leaks. It has been a great tractor so far.

Earlier ones had an issue leaking coolant at the hoses - that has since been corrected at the factory. It is easily corrected by replacing the original hose clamp with a locally obtained hose clamp. Not aware of issues with oil leaks.
