got to admit the bl00dy thing flies , i thought the needle moving fast on the dash was the rev counter , but mark said it was the fuel gauge :D \

was more concerned weith the loader creaping down onto the canopy :D

they may have seemed primative sean , but you'd be surprised how much hidden goodies as standard were on them got a fairly steepish drive way there paul & got to admit the landy sounded nice growling away at the slope climbing out , as for stopping , unlike up round your way , it's unlikely he'd get faster than 25 mph back to his yard before another hill killed his progress

you really need to build yer part up luke think you'll find shovels have buckets on them , so i'd say you were stacking silage bales with a rough terrain articulated materials handler . so instead of being a shovel driver i'd say you were a rough terrain articulated materials handler specialist

not be long till the cornish are on they're earlies sean

quite decieving isn't it , i suppose compared to modern tractors the 100 series tractors are small , isn't till you sit on it that it becomes a large machine again , bit like marks 240 it's a small tractor because it really is a small tractor the mid power oldies are usually a bit inbetween , not big enoung to be BIG but too big to be small....................... i'll join you nick i'll just get my coat ............................

good going nick , bit older than the era i'd usually take nitice of , it does look a good buy , just a tidy & repair , of going to go for the rebuild ?

i've had a drive around on it sean , but bottom line is bill didn't buy it for me to drive :D that was the point of getting rid of the zetor , something a bit more manageable for him ! although i have to say i think i've driven it more than him already , i mean to say since last monday it's it's clock reads nearly 3.5 hrs , & it already had just over 3 when it was delivered :D

? not quite sure what you mean nick ? to me the 165/ 168 were always termed as big tractors , but not quite that big \

a couple of tidy masseys there paul , nice change to see a tractor & topper , instead of a front mount on the harvester

well after the coldridge trip , mr ferguson hiself finaly got round to having a looksee & drive of the 168 watch where yer going fergo \ out for a nice drive no it's too much for marky & off comes his top :D thats better , what a happy chap

a good day at coldridge good to meet tim & sean although a good rain shower did nothing to keep the hot muugyness away , i only took a few pictures & left the rest to marky(david bailey) ferguson would just like to thank mark for stopping by to give me a lift there & back, much appreciated mark

yep then a trip out to see the 168 later in the day , get marky on it !

i hope i get some help whe i eventually start my display thomas \

you do realise mads has cleaned the house top to bottom , set out the best china bought new bedding & even put new blinds up & bought a new party dress as she thought we were all going out for a meal don't you mark now it's just chish 'n' fips for tea ring me at bristol & i'll get the kettle on

the zetor is tidy tris , on a C plate with about 6000+ hours on it although it had been touched up before he bought it about 6 years ago, but bills in his 80's & the zetor was getting too big & cumbersome for the jobs he needed for now , so a smaller more nimble machine would be the tool for the job . a quad bike was also considered but we couldn't get a loader to fit :D almost as mint as yer dads masseys infact ! there are indeed a large variety of chinese compacts on the market now, a siromer was looked at , but the use of hydraulic power for the steering & backend / loader applications from one pump restricted it's appeal ,the siromer's tin work also makes it look bigger than it actually is & looks somewhat awkward compared to this . well at least it was straps , i've also seen chains used over the transmission housing could tell the zetor was a fair weight as when it went up over the ramps the poor old landy's rear suspension reared right up was going to be a good workout for the 110 to get it back to their yard lets just hope it works as good as it looks

time to tie it down hmm maybe he should have turned on the grass before loading \ bye, bye but result a vacant space , thats too good to be left empty very next day bill was out with the polish , chap who sells them isn't over impressed with the chinese packing which unfortunately leaves scuff marks on the bodywork, the overall package seems good , but it's these small details that let it down

well as posted in what did you do today type topic i showed a landlegend that my partners father has looked into on a part ex for his zetor. well it he's only gone & done the deal & it turned up last monday in comes the landlegend so out comes the zetor

good looking 26 there bill , lets just hope you're mate only plans to take it no further than a few miles for recovery , else he may have to charge for a 3 day call out :D, good old busses really , low reving engine with loads of power to hand & bullet proof & with a decent winch on it , there isn't much it wont move bolted down or not i liked the later version better as the park brake was positioned as a ratchet bar under the dash console , leaving the space on the floor for a 3 level cantelever toolbox

i did wonder if benny's 3050a was a true representation of an actual tractor , i cant see siku making that big an error . the tractor in question would have been landini built so it may just be it's still out there

still no leaflet Luke but this mysterious tractor has made it's rounds here before ! maybe a few more clues yet to be found , have we no Euroland members that could find some info for us ? would imagine Germany / Italy would be the first place to look maybe drop a line to thomas or feli http://www.farmtoysforum.com/forum/index.php?topic=5150.0

ah the good old jag 40 that would be then ! ah mf 500 ind , ongoing project is that \

you sure this is a working farm ? probably one of the heaviest crops i've seen this year great pics again chap , as said shame to see the other 300's go but sure sign of progress in the way of replacements. i supose the head mans tractor will be up within the next few years . got to admit whoever buys those ex larkton tractors must be well chuffed with the condition they're in
