quality's the least of yer problems chap :D can you try turning them on your pc before posting

360 ? doesn't stand out as a first choice , matter of fact i know they exist , but have never seen one , any particular reason for a 360 & not a 362 /365 but it's a massey , so it's going to be a good sound investment . fergo should know more

nice pictures johny, although i think it was you that fell in love & sandy just tollerates your flirting :D like the 188's mate , got some stonking tyres on the first , & would have a guess at being on a 4wheel traction axle ? & the second 188 would guess at being almost one of the last as it looks to be an MF's own fitted axle

great news cerin although is it wise to let yer mum learn to drive it ? after all , women do get attached to things with girls names & , telling you mate , you'll have to fight to keep her off it ! TVO eh ? ooh shame it's not a diesel but as long as someone can teach you how to mix it , you'll have no problems with it & i dare say the best people to ask would be powerrabit or BC maybe unkel F is older than he lets onto us & he can still mix it with the best of them :D seriously cerin , looks like you got a lot to look forward to mate & i cant wait for the picture's :)

well ? are you still smiling

bu66er, i didn't get paid i got sunburnt :D

dont know mate ? which one would you like to be hobby or numpty tell me tris just how long a ride do you get for 50p nowadays :D

yes there's something endearing about your throw a six to start entrepreneurial skills what ever you buy mark you wouldn't want it ti be much older than 3 years old mate , especially if they're ex hire machines , as they've had no end of numpties on them , you need to be looking at ex works machines , as they're usually replaced every couple of years , really need to look out for slack pins & bushes , pins are ok to replace but if the bushes have worn & started to eat into the castings ,then it's going to cost . condition of tracks is another factor i can't imagine they'll be cheap ! & also look to see if the digging arm is twisted ,many hobby hirer's slew side to side with the bucket to level uneven ground & that's a big no no ! another idea for you mark , if you get a micro digger, try to get a narrow dumper as well they really would compliment each other , nothing worse than helping a mate out with a hired digger & still having to shift the spoil with a wheel barrow around the back of the house / site to a waiting trailer or skip i love diggers don't you mate :D

thats a good looking unit you have there , certainly spent some time on it & it's turned out really well, will look great up against tris' at the next spalding show as for the R day cab , hows about an 8 wheel bulk blower ? considering you've turned out some pretty good tippers it wouldn't take that much more work to re work it . if you need pics i can get them

yes i thought the 78 was in good nick too, not much rust around the windows where they usually start deteriorating unfortunately , the chaps feed usually comes from dorchester mill every month , so i can't see me getting back there any time soon to see the harvesters working yes got to admit colm, they were all pretty well up together & i too like mints \ ohh the farmer said the 290 was the best tractor he's owned , used to be the farms main tractor also had an 85 loader in the yard for it ,& thats why he has in now on the slurry pump, it's not man enough to handle the bigger kit he now has , but he also doesn't want to sell it , thus a good retirement on the pump, still a shame to see it sat there . not up on the diggers mate , knew it was a 50 something or another

375 rare breed ? not round here mark , looks like the 165 > 265 > 365 progression was halted with the 375, got a fair few down here , even got a few 372 's !

starting to see more & more self propelled sprayers about now , usually a contractors machine rather than a farm owned one

the 3650, 7810 spray unit, TX's & the Track Marshall 70 all come from the same farm , around the havant /chichester area also got a this chap waiting for harvest also has a 4600 & 5000, TM165 & a C-IH 956 but couldnt get near them they were all pretty well looked after mark , i think there's only a few workers & they treat all the tractors the same

very tidy 3650 very tall **** ? deere sprayer farm use MF50?? rarely seen 250 retirement duties on a slurry pump

best post them up while i have them to hand i spose think i'll probably start with some blue , then maybe green , some yellow thrown in & end with a splash of red , so in no particular date order really mucky 4610 classic 7810 supasprayer meals on wheels 7740 two TX 68's yearly checkups a complete random for the group , a Track Marshall70

got to say those jcb's have an awful crowd for the attatchments , really lets quite a good model down

looks a tidy little tractor chap

whoa there matey you got one of them there green giants ooof beauty is in the eye of the beholder & behold the beast you now own :o sorry chap , but it is a nice wee tractor you have 7.10 eh ? not overly familliar with the larger ones although i did get to have a 7.50 for a short while , pretty unstopable , & pull like you wouldn't beleive , but this you'll already know thats why you got one . only problems i know of is the gearbox i think thats the one weakness the 7.?? had , even the one i used suffered from gearbox failures will deffo follow this topic , so whats the plan with it ?

like tris said bit blurry , but looking at it you've made a good job of it mate , will it actually tip , or does it sit level when crowded right over ?

hahahahahahahahahahaha \ oooh that was poor nigel

yeah seems a pretty good chap , quite enthusiastic as well, well he would be we just bought a new tractor :D thats the chap dan , the quickest way for us was up langport then down through high ham, he's got a fair bit in his yard mind

cowling agri indeed mate , you know him ?

thanks mark your camera gives some brilliant pictures not helping the fact i'm only a bit bigger than yer average hobbit , after all the 130 is a small tractor but it still looks big in the picture aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah yeeeeeeeeeesss always got the fork handy mark as per the day i leave it behind will be the day i'll need it

here you go thomas , these are the things sean handed over to give you , no doubt you'll have ideas for them 1 peice of sisal door matting , two grain stores , 1 auger , a wiking claas round baler & wiking claas mower & two full bags of trees

got any pics to post mark ?
