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 :)

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

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
-
