Produced from 1966 to 1972, the MF 130 was made at Massey Ferguson’s Beauvois factory in France.
Forming part of the 100 Series, it was powered by a 29hp Perkins 4-cylinderdiesel engine and came in two versions, Standard and DeLuxe, the latter being readily identifiable by its twin front headlamps. Noted for its reliability and good power output relative to its size, it sold well right across Europe and beyond.
As the partial V5 confirms, this MF 130 DeLuxe dates from 1966 and was first registered in October 1979 (presumably being confined to field use only for its first dozen years). The V5 records just two keepers from the date of registration and it has been in the current ownership since 1999, being used for light duties on his smallholding these past 16 years.
Said to be very original and in good running order with functioning headlamps and fairly recent rear tyres, it surely has decades of useful life ahead of it
