On "value"; Masseys are very popular around here. We have a couple very good, long time dealers. So they sell good.
135 diesels's typically sell for $3200 to $3500 for an average runner, $4000 on up to $5500 for prime examples. With a gasser, you can generally knock off $400 to $500. 150's usually sell for $500 to $1000 higher than a 135 in same condition.
I've owned both (135 and 150) from my experience, a 150 will work circles around a 135 in most all instances. Better balance (weight) because of the longer wheelbase helps with heavy loads on the rear. More fuel capacity, better (larger) cooling system, and the length means you can set the track width a little wider and still have excellent handling characteristics. The added weight and ensuing better balance is the reasoning behind higher fuel efficiency ratings in Nebraska test results. Some of the early 150's were available with 6-speed trannies (3X2) or the optional 6-speed w/MultiPower. Later models came with 8-speed or 6-speed w/MultiPower. The 8-speed is my personal choice as the best tranny. Good spread of ratios, and the added dependability of NO MultiPower...A balky MultiPower will knock down the value considerably.
150's were available as a rowcrop (w/wide front OR NF) They tend to be worth SLIGHTLY less overall, but their relative rarity CAN add value to the right buyer.
The heavier front axle and steering bolster of the 150 lend themselves better to loader use than the swept axle of the 135.
I'm sort of partial, but IMHO, the 150 is the best all around light utility tractor ever built.
