Lord Ferguson Posted November 16, 2008 Posted November 16, 2008 I thought some of you lads and lasses might like a look at this beasty... would make for a nice scratch build I reckon... Quote
Lord Ferguson Posted November 16, 2008 Author Posted November 16, 2008 Out of interest... May 1976 is the brochure date Quote
Lord Ferguson Posted November 16, 2008 Author Posted November 16, 2008 Just found this as well.... May 1970 that one Quote
marshman Posted November 16, 2008 Posted November 16, 2008 They look like beasties mate. Maybe a build for Blake as he wants to do a scratch build \ :) Quote
FB Posted November 16, 2008 Posted November 16, 2008 nice machines!!, so when are you getting one \ \ Quote
miker Posted November 16, 2008 Posted November 16, 2008 ooh very nice, might just give a county a run for its money, only might tho Quote
Tractorman810 Posted November 16, 2008 Posted November 16, 2008 That skidder has only 86hp :o its a fergy paul, why would you need any more mate :D :D :D Quote
Lord Ferguson Posted November 17, 2008 Author Posted November 17, 2008 I guess it wouldn't need much more than that really for it's size... I must admit it does sound low... but then again it's only hauling with that HP really \ I suspect it's more about traction than HP in those conditions really... once you get the logs sliding I bet they don't need a lot of pulling really Quote
MJB1 Posted November 17, 2008 Posted November 17, 2008 got a pretty good collections of yellows now mark , makes good reading too Quote

Lord Ferguson Posted November 18, 2008 Author Posted November 18, 2008 :D - it does look a bit 'Tonkaesque' doesn't it Nige... I'd rather describe it as 'purposeful' :D Quote

Lord Ferguson Posted November 18, 2008 Author Posted November 18, 2008 It's basically an MF595 Bazza Quote
NIGEL FORD Posted November 22, 2008 Posted November 22, 2008 Seriously though, I'd not seen it before. Bigger than the Roadless machine which was only a 3 cylinder from memory? Quote
Lord Ferguson Posted November 22, 2008 Author Posted November 22, 2008 Seriously though, I'd not seen it before. Bigger than the Roadless machine which was only a 3 cylinder from memory? No me neither Nigel... I don't suppose they need to be all that powerful really \ Quote
