marstons build the griffiths trailers, the griffiths trailers actually have thicker heavier floors but less thicker gauge sides according to the specifications. conversley the AS Marston trailers have thicker gauge bodies and thinner floors than the griffiths trailers. griffiths spec is 5mm floors and 3mm sides AS MARSTON is 4 annd 4mm.

only seen rsm cabbed deutzs in uk with rear hinged cab doors but that was a uk built cab, there might have been some come into uk with this type of fritzmeier full safety cab but personally never see them. thats not to say that they werent about of course. all i remember is how quickly in the seventies they got a foothold in the uk market. large waiting lists for uk tractors these and fiat soon made presence felt.

well done hubby massey

i prefer the non cab tractor, i dont ever re-call seeing these tractors here in the uk so ill stick with the non cabbed tractor. the cabbed version just way too european for my collection

farmers weekly price guide lists them as a two wheel drive specification at 2,196 to 2,900 less than four wheel drive versions. transmission list as 16/16-4 what ever that specification gives. also transport boost horsepower still works.

ok specification if only being used for trailer work and topwork eg fertiliser spreading and spraying

i too have been to zeedulgum and to the original factory site where it all started which is now a large collection of vintage machinery/museum

echo barrys comments about jcb as a company, training we received was second to none , factory support we received was second to none and no problem encountered was ever left unsolved ag machine or construction machine.

for those who have not yet had the pleasure of a jcb tour they have machies actually up in the offices, some shown on here they use to have more upstairs. i was lucky during my service engineer career to go around factory when attending every service course. them days the 360 machines were built in bamfords old factory in uttoxeter and the fastracs at cheadle.

its took long time for this to become standard practice and not optional, trackers, immobilisers, track locks and ram locks were always optional i fitted loads of these when i was service engineer with former berkeley jcb. the alpha dot system and micro chips . data tagg been around since 1996 but was never universally used.

new fendt is a nice tractor they will miss a trick if they dont use them duals on other tractors

not my cup of tea a silver tractor nice if thats what you collect. the mowers are nice .

support your proper farm toy traders and dedicated farm toy shows

let them sit on there stuff with their high prices, tell them they gotta be joking and stick it. walk away smugly

thats the one with diversion outside pointing into the shop all traffic this way :D

the pre dx 006 smaller tractors also had sekura cabs similar to jd opu cabs but mainly RSM cabs

of course you gotta have the other one its cruel only having one!. they are better off in pairs or more

looks like you nailed it spot on mate- looks good cab shape spot on , them old cabs looked low and long, remember the old red vinyl seats
