pudding

ha ha!......does that mean its a good one? i don't think its on the yard anymore

does it have the 50kph box and front suspension? they suppose to drop engine rpm in top cog on the road thats a nice sounding motor they put in them, and they are a not badly thought out machine under the pretty bits........some people either like or dislike the common componentry thing.........the dash is MXu ain't it, cab shell is too, but different under the panels, wiring looms etc......i think they are put together well too, even the jxu and mxu that comes from austria is better finished then the older ones there is a couple 40k non suspended ones on the lot here, they will sell fast.....will have to see if they have the second door on the cab............i can't remeber seeing a latch

my ole mans MTX125 seems to do about 800 hours a year, the old L75DT it replaced did 5700 before sold.......but 95% is loader work and pulling wagons, he usually has a small 2wd tractor that will do 300hours a year on a baler, and utility work........was a 165, now its a 390 contractors round here seem to put 2000hours a year on machine, depending what machine etc back when i was a kid, i remeber the ole mans iseki 7000 doing 1800hours a year, when he was contracting, wise man can figure out from how many hours he doing a year, whether is better to buy or lease a tractor, i think tractor drive hours get thrown out the window in any country..........don't matter where you are........our mx270's in the US were leased with a 600hour per year cap, but each one did about 800 a year, we had 4 of them, 3 were the planter machines, 1 was in tillage, with the quadtrac, 9400, 9180, and what ever we could find that run............o yeah, a jd4850, 4960,4440, ferd9600 ha ha!......jcb185, farmed 16000 acres........we brought 5 2388 and a 8010 for the harvest, the 12 row ready 2388's both did 800 hours a season, the smaller 2388 did 400-500hours each, the 8010.........well that thing was junk ya right about the older ones spinning faster ha ha!...........the iseki sx75 with the analog clock and electric feed clicked over with the ignition on, the older iseki T7000 stopped spinning at 5700 and started again for no apparent reason 3 years later ya going to pay so much for a new machine, ya gotta use it, the depreciation will only make you cry other wise..........eh marky which ever way you figure depreciation........straight line method.....residual value........tractors seem to loose there value fast in the first few years, i guess when market value reflects resale value, then they seem to hit a certain point where the resale value plateaus, but the depreciation soldiers on.......and it then becomes adjusted on your business books, and you pay depreciation recovery or similar, depending on the country laws.........some people keep utlity tractors like this, that are worth nothing on the farm books, and have a strong market value, cause if they sell it, the gotta pay the gov a depreciation recovery fee, and basically for the farmer to replace it will cost them a lot more then what they have invested now seems to be that when the pressure comes on financially in ag, tractor owners operators, keep a late model machine, as a primary tool, about the size they need, run hours on it, and keep turning them over, and the utility tractors just get kept and run into the ground....in comfortable financial times, they buy tractors of equal size, using big tractors when small ones would do.......

if the museum and archieve is anything like the museum on the website.......ie the pic arhieves...............wow, you gunna be spoilt for choice for something to talk about wonder if the V6 drago is in the museum

mine turned up today loooked at all the pics took it out of the plastic, rory, why didn't you get a pic of the SAMEcar at the factory......ha ha!.......your teasing me!

NH 110-90 could be the next calssic ferd

dunno how many horses she has but me thinks they all be facing the same direction ;D

dude, you need to make a 3 point hitch mounted BBQ........that would be the ultimate road run accessorry..............o yeah............and a BBQ table/trailer

WD-9 puller with cummins, supercharged

were they plastic?.........i not up with the times marky hey marky, did ya find any goss out on them??

all it needs is some alloy weights up front instead of those heavy cast iron ones...........ha ha!

its about 90hp ain't it they had a issue with the spliter they fixed on them here, seems they were a bit weak here they are a ok we machine 4.5 litre DPS motor, basic tractor, ......ya got use to the door locking latches yet ha ha!?.......don't yank em too hard, do you like your doors opening the other way........nice for getting in and out lots........ they sold a couple out of the yard here, all 456, i have only seen one 446, ......not a common tractor in our parts, most farmers here seem to want bigger tractors.......for loader work if its one of the last built.............it will be a great wee tractor, reliability issues sorted, good utlility...... good replacement to the 785

732 is the single stage mast on the smaller chassis ain't it? is it the powershift range shift? they really don't like being punished they have forward and reverse clutch packs as well as the torque converter, one of my customers has the trans out of his 932 at the moment at 3000hours ( not many really) they had a delay in the forward shift, stripped it down to find heating on the forward clutch pack, and bearings scoring.........so its all getting done, they also found a worn universal from the engine to the trans on that driveshaft that is 300mm long everything on the manitou is metric, pipes on the underside of the boom get bent when people carry stuff under there, and drop the boom on it.......bending the pipes is not good, but what is worse is the hoses get pushed up and rub on the internal boom..........those hoses are a bugger to do.....a good piece of rope is helpful for doing these hoses the metric pipe you should measure, it should be 16mm OD, get some pipe joiners with olives and nuts to fix repairs (unless you like brazing)......all the hyd hose use metric L and S fittings, the ones in the boom and lead up to the boom functions us 16mm metric female hosetails to half inch hose.......all the hose tails have thin metric o rings on the sealing taper, that do blow, eg the ones on the 16S hose tails are 13x2 O-rings.....most the hoses are 1/2, 3/4in, and some ferrules or weld on hose tails for the 180degree elbows in the boom good metric O ring kit, and thin O rings too........is a good investment, as well as electical stuff, they have solinoids on the actuator for the clutch packs, i think some got looked at under warrantee....,.. i don't know what the manitou's splicer axles are like when it comes to brakes engines is perkins ain't it.......can't remember if they use CAV fuel filters, watch that square rubber seal when replacing filters, dunno what the manitou accelerator cable is like, the ones in the JCB loadall with the perkins is a pain to replace hyd hoses and O-rings, filters, oils, and sensible drivers is all you need i think i would rather have a JCB if i was shopping, and people say they ain't great either but the manitou is a durable unit, and most things that do give grief can be handled .....a double jointed mechanic and crowsfoot spanners is handy too

ya there were bigger ones, smaller ones, and vineyard ones in the series, its a german origin, destoned for the europe market, i think as a utility machine in the late 80's........... http://www.redpowermagazine.com/forums//lofiversion/index.php?t2746.html they lived for years, sore many changes, body, style, cab, etc the guy i work with is orginally from cornwall loved these tractors, good simple, reliable pics would be great to see what model you actually got

wow, never actually gave it anythough about they actually sold any power presses might have a dig at the parts guy at work tommorrow and see what cherrys the deutz parts program brings up i think Deutz factory in germany still carrys bits for fahr mowers built way back then, if you ever need that sort of stuff you email em or call em direct! um.......actually have a fish round the SDF history site, a lot ofo deutz stuff is appearing there now also! http://195.103.16.109/archiviostorico/scheda.asp?allegato=9350&storico=7063 http://195.103.16.109/archiviostorico/scheda.asp?allegato=9039&storico=6805 http://195.103.16.109/archiviostorico/scheda.asp?allegato=9037&storico=6804 pretty sure those 3 machines were targeted at the french and german and italian farmers if you want to build one, just take one of thos agrifaliares pics, measure the front wheel of a real one, create a scale and start hey can you explain the bonnet on this 265?

Heinz Watties NZ imported some of those 762H i think there is still one near springston canterbury somewhere.....near lightlands area they also brought in those 1155 that featured in the CT mag a couple months back i think they were for asparagus production or something?........ if it was accident damage, crawl under the cab and see if the transfer boxes are there for the front drives the high hp light tractor in 2wd was the trend back then too........ie ford8100 yadayadayada........so i believe ya when you say its a genuine county ha ha!.....i ain't going to argue the headlights in the front grill are blanked out roadless sold a lot to the sugarcane industry too didn't they........lots of those ford conversions were exported.........isn't the britainswomble a guru on this?? JC good fittment to a MF is a can of green and yellow paint, so when it breaks down, no one notices!
