well thats a quality build , got to hand it to you mate the detail in the casting is great & not really any thing that looks wrong at all , as for the interior , the ap /lp cabs i drove were all blue clad but the plastic dash suround always faded from blue to dull green \ would look great on a teagle titan silage trailer

cheers sean errr not got a joal jcb ben , so no cutting tonight ! thanks mark but i think i'll manage , i spect it'll be on spud box duties most of the time anyway

thanks mart no tried that sean

well done sunshine , cant wait to get some animals on the board :)

cant recal anyone actually doing this conversion , & after looking at lord fergusons leaflet again, decided to try a makeover on the sanderson. the catch for the forks & bucket broke years ago , so if anyone has a spare i'll gladly re-home it . mark your CHEP pallets look great , but they don't fit the britains forks

brilliant keep it going mate , nowhere near enough conversions of this tractor going on , i tried dismally one afternoon & pbmoynan tried his hand but cant remember how far he got

nice looking tractor mike ,has it had a new front grill ? or has the decal just come off ? i took the RH steps off the 64 i used to drive & fitted a frame for my toolbox & had a vice bolted to the weights nothing worse than someting twisting about when trying to hold it firm to work on take it yer happy with it now it's all fitted out then

nice tractor chap well done

every chance kev !

not till you see a topic like this does it remind us just how busy you are & with all those scratch builds , it certainly expains the the rising price of elastoplast in plymouth well done sean , great collection

blimey chap , we still bagging 100cwt hessian bags from our theshers , but aparently there's a thresher that moves on it's own called a combined harvester coming out soon :D what you have on most big grain farms , we have but on smaller scale & much of our farm storage is in sheds with the crop tipped on the floor , the only real big scale operation like you have drawn we only get to see from the buyers / farmers co-opratives

the broadcasting seed option seems to be used more & more on difficult soil , at upcerne nr dorchester we had chalk & flint brash , so seed was applied with an overum tive then run over with the discs, it was very much a minimum input modest output croping system, had to be as the flint would take out a set of reverseable points in 2 weeks & the discs didn't fare too well either

take the kids away in a cart like johny's ? the only way marky's kids would go is if he actually tied them down , cart or not ! then he'd change his user name from lord ferguson to romany ferguson \

whoa there mike what were you thinking of ? thats probably the biggest mistake i've seen for a long time & i think even you'll have to agree that shirt clashed desparately with the grill looks a nice buy mike , obviously looked after & coming from a farm you know even better , at least it's from an age where the niggles were sorted from the 6000 series & before new niggles apeared with the 6020 series. on the other hand yer going to miss that big side window on the 40

helping thomas not glue his hands together on his 3rd display board

ah get marky on the case with those numbers ! honest opinion mate ? keep the cab loose the michelin men or keep the cab & put one michelin man on the right hand wing

awww yer such a tease :D

do you know johny each time i saw the accomodation cart i did wonder if it looked worth all the agrivation of towing it everywhere but have to say the whole thing of packing up & driving to the shows looks great. I expect many people , do like we do here in the uk , load it onto a trailer & tow it to events ! so then johny when are you starting the UK tour ? it would be amazing if you could get all that to spalding next spring , i'm sure marky could get Histon Produce sponsor your trip

165 from nr dorchester 362 & handler from nr tiverton 698T & 390T from nr cannington 2640 & 6270 from nr wedmore

ought to set yer camera to film show ,mount it on the dash & youtube it for us :)

brilliant mate , just brilliant, like to see this lot on the go. & looking at it it's dry so keep it going till the roof leaksrain comes in

steady hand all the way were the tracs widely available in the two tone green as i've only seen them in the lighter shade for real

bit late for the HSE talk mark , i suffer from tinnitus anyway so the engine & exhaust noise makes a nice change :D

just not going to that many new farms at the moment mark & the red interests me more than any other brand so why not snap away ! getting quite a good MF library of pics now ! 362 i think was a 4cyl naturaly aspirated engine at 62 HP, A4,236 ? could be wrong this 362 is the main tractor & farmer says it's been trouble free since it came to the farm & is a great little all-rounder, supplied new with a loader it did everything , but to ease the workload the loader was sold when they decided to buy the handler . yes the dealer is NE of taunton on the A38> bridgwater

i dont think many tractors have decent cabs for trimming mike , maybe the newer panoramic all glass doors are better , but for a time view was restricted something awfull the IH xl cab & the 3000series MF spring to mind with that awfull cab pillar at least on the deere you had a good decent side window & a curved door to deflect any crap. hmm so she gone then ! oof bet thats been weighing on yer mind in not having a direct replacement . so whats the plan something cheap & cheerfull , a local dealer , or something thats just right for the money ? have to say best tractor i ever used for trimming was an MF 2640 2wd complete plodder as you know mike but then who trims hedges at 40K ?
