Alan K said: (quoted from post at 18:02:43 11/25/09) Ive always liked the 285s 1085 and 1105s. I sat in a 1105 at a dealer about a month ago. Decent shape, long axles, but they wanted around $14,000 for it.
What was the main difference between the 285 and 1085?
Answer: Physical size and weight of the tractor. Both the 285 and 1085 have the exact same powerplants.
The 285 is a smaller frame/chassis tractor, built on the same designs as the smaller Hp 275, 265, and so on.
The 1085 is a large frame/chassis tractor. It is built on the same designs as the 1105, 1135, 1155 tractors.
The 1085 is just a much larger and more massively built tractor. It was the "baby" of the 1000 series MF beasts back then.
They are both great tractors. I've owned 285's and 1105's. Never saw the point in having a 285 and a 1085 at the same time, since they had the same Hp output.
$14,000 is wayyyyy too much for a 1105 tractor. It would have had to have been completley rebuilt, reworked, repainted, and then some for that kind of money. That dealer must have been smoking crack.
I bought a really nice & straight low hour MF 1105 with cab/heat/air/radio just a couple of years ago. I had it shipped from Iowa to New York. Only paid $6,800 for it, INCLUDING shipping. It was a bit faded, and coming due for a paint job, but it had great rubber, ran great, and everything worked as it should have. I really, really didn't want to, but I was forced to sell it this past spring due to some financial woes. I actually MADE money on it, and sold it for $7,500. Still, that's 1/2 of what your dealer was asking.
