Multi-Power Transmission and Dual Rear Hydraulics
The tractor is equipped with Massey Ferguson’s Multi-Power transmission and has two sets of hydraulic hoses at the rear. This dual-remote hydraulic setup increases its usefulness with compatible hay equipment, hydraulic cylinders, mowers, balers, wagons, and other farm implements.
Buyers should confirm hydraulic pressure, flow, coupler condition, and Multi-Power operation during an inspection.
Hay-Farm Use
According to the seller, this MF 285 was used for mowing and baling hay on a relatively small farm. It was not described as having been used in a large commercial operation or for continuous heavy tillage work.
Its approximately 81 PTO-horsepower model rating, dual rear hydraulics, three-point hitch, and PTO capability make the MF 285 a practical tractor for:
Mowing hay
Operating compatible hay balers
Raking and tedding
Pulling hay wagons
Rotary mowing
Livestock-farm chores
General field maintenance
Use as a secondary or backup tractor
Indoor Storage and Recent Service
The seller reports that the tractor has always been stored inside. Recent maintenance and repairs include a one-year-old battery, an improved battery ground wire, a rebuilt starter installed in June, and a thorough cooling-system flush and service completed in June using heavy-duty coolant.
These updates address several important starting, electrical, and cooling-system components. Buyers should still inspect the tractor and confirm its current operating condition.
Operator Station

Open operator station
Roof or canopy
Front windshield
No enclosed doors or full cab
