MF590 Mint condition in Straw box (also mint)

[volvoman]

Could anyone on the forum give an opinon as to what this may be worth,I have never seen another one,also how many were actually produced-any body any ideas?

[Andy]

It was only in the catalogue for a few years, circa 1976 I think. There were only a few thousand produced at the most.

Trouble is people make fakes using the 595 so it is hard to tell a genuine one from a fake....being genuine and boxed, you would expect to pay up to ?400 for it.

[volvoman]

Andy-thanks for that-this is a genuine 'untampered' one.

Hi there Volvoman,I'll give you the true gen on these MF590's there actually quite common and most people turn there nose up at them :'(,I personally don't really need a mint boxed one ,but if it helps out I'll give you a tenner for it and a couple of quid to post it.Let me know where to send the cheque to I'll get it of on Monday.

[volvoman]

Nice try fhl ,but surprise ,surprise maybe I will just hang onto it a little longer-just on the off chance Andy is right!

Or do you need to see the linkage

(My copy of D Pullens book is about 200 miles away at the mo)

I know nothing about these models except what info is in David Pullen's book and going by that, the only thing I can confirm is that the driver looks to be correct 

Everything else seem so require a view of the rear of the tractor. Sorry IHP 

[ihatepoundland]

No worries, it isn't that important anyway, I'd only really value a boxed one and even then I'd spend my money on a lot of things before that

[the other green]

Right with y' on that one.

if i remember 590s had the ford wheel centres and the week linkage i dont think drivers or coulour of the driver matterd as long as it was the fat b##t#rd that was driving the 135 aswell with the black greasy hair (it was the seventys)

[IH885XLMAN]

i have a 590 in exelent condition ,i know its genuine ,the bloke i bought it off was more into harley's and wanted to sacrefice his entre 1970s britains collection (see Britains catologue 1979)but none were boxed the olny fault with the 590 is you can olny make out the decal of "590" it has faded over time

? Hi, i`m a new member & so pleased to have found this site ! I`ve got a MF 590 in the atic which was a birthday present in 76-77? which sat alongside the usual suspects (5000,6600,595,135,DX110 fiat 80-90) So when you`re 6 yrs old its just another tractor with a different No. on it so in the bin went the box & played many a happy hour with it until uncle col got a 590 4wd for real. So i swap the front axles with the fiat( they had the same chassis colour then) & bingo a 4wd 590 + loader untill 3 yr old brother destroys the cab. Cabless for next couple of years till a stanley knife,super glue & a cassette box recreate a rough resembalence to a 500 series cab. The stickers have almost gone completely silver now & is hard to make out any print but if you look hard enough? the number 590? is still there, just, Probably worthless now? but priceless to me !?

hey mjb .so im not the olny coffin dodjer on here then,i had a 595 and a tipper trailer plos a 760 combine all in one birthday (was the 70s)if i needed those now MIB ur talking 3-5 hundred i recon what do u think???

[Powerstarâ„¢]

I'll give ya ?250 and 10p 

[MJB1]

InternationalMan, is 35 coffin dodger age ? wife calls it SMS ( sad man syndrome ) but the kids think it`s great when i get some of the old timers down from the attic ! I also had the 760 & a 595+ baler & sledge combo for a bday present  in 77 but i was at an aunties house without a grain trailer.After a couple of rounds of the carpet,dad said i had to unload into the bale sledge & at seven yrs old this was real farming not imaginary so i apparently cried my eyes out when the imaginary grain spilled out of the sledge & all over the carpet. Adults huh !  As for britains nowadays,well i bought a case mx each for my 2 boys last xmas ,got it home & took it out of the box for interest,put back in box & exchanged them for a siku fendt930 vario & deutz agrotron210, these toys are still in one peice & undamaged whereas the britains would of had to be binned long ago,v dissapointed with todays stuff !
