very smart could do with those myself

that would be great Dammann trac make these as well as trailed, demounts and other SPs their website has an English link http://www.dammann-technik.de/

Downloaded these from web they make trailed, de-mounts and SPs being a mog driver i got very excited.

very nice!! its such a shame they dont make these anymore

no pics two levers for the back actor, it looked simlar to cab on those pics but door was hinged and back of roof cut away may have been modified by previous owners.

the door was hinged on the front pillar. i did drive it very reliable terrible on the road you couldnt go more than a few mph it was so heavy on the back it would get a wobble on you just couldnt keep it straight otherwise fantastic machine. ive driven newer ford and MF diggers but they seemed so behind on build quality and performance compared to that machine.

this one had a folding door on the left but a weird roof arrangement at the back a piece cut out about a foot from the back. i think it was a C plate which would of made it 1963?

the farm where my father worked had a Major based 3c got 2nd hand in 1976 still used it until they sold up in mid 90s paid for itself over and over. only problem was water pump and fan belt took some changing thats why when you buy genuine JCB fan belts you get 2 one to put on the other to tie up ready to drop on when its needed i think this is still JCB practice on some machines.

what have you got?

thats nice to see MB TRACS still working 15+ years after Merc stopped making them, will they ever die?

and one more

Some pictures of a TM155 i used to drive not everyones favourite but i enjoyed every minute spent with this machine you can't get more British than this!

looking through some old photos of where i used to work. After harvest we used to take the wheels off our New Holland 8070 and put them onto our Ford 6600 for rolling, fert spreading make the most of an idle machine.

100+ and growing 1/32 + 1/64 boxed and unboxed not many implements though and only seem to be getting UH lately

yes how much?

I thought Manfred Weisse was the German equivalent of Balfour Beatty?

that doesnt look the right cab, didnt the 1124 have the Hara cab?

the Fastrac would be an interesting conversion to do

did the GTA have same engine as xylon? only seen one GTA at Methwold in Norfolk

prefer silver myself, don't see many tractors fitted with wheel weights nowadays. do Valtra do graphics as an option for paintwork?

Ford 4000 1st tractor i drove IH 1455 lovely engine, Track Marshall 155 U400 Unimog that i drive now

GTA toolcarrier? no rear platform but larger dia front wheels than smaller toolcarriers

fendt has long tradition of building toolcarriers but the xylon was originally but to fill the gap left when the mb trac was ceased. i have seen a fair few here, fendt stopped making them 2yrs ago along with the toolcarrier something to do with AGCO takeover.

hi, mine is simonr5436 totally addicted!
