- Getting old. Sold the ranch. Sold the tractors. Moved back to the city.
It's not difficult to modify a stock tractor for work on hills and slopes.
My 1964 MF135 diesel was altered to work in an orchard. The rear tires are 18.5 x 16 radials (16" dia wheel) that provide high flotation. Tires this size are typically used on combines or large grain trucks. The rears are 2/3 filled with a 50/50 water-antifreeze mixture.
The front axle spindles were shortened to keep the tractor level.
