Massey Ferguson 135 Attachments
The Massey Ferguson 135 Utility Tractor (1964–1975) is one of the most iconic models in the MF 100 series, well-regarded for its reliability, simple maintenance, and versatility on the farm. With its Category I three-point hitch, Ferguson draft control system, and strong hydraulic performance, the MF 135 could be paired with a wide range of attachments to handle everyday agricultural and utility tasks. Operators commonly equipped it with rotary cutters, plows, cultivators, and harrows for field preparation, as well as loaders, blades, and scoops for material handling.
