ploughmaster Posted March 16, 2010 Share Posted March 16, 2010 Nice pictures Super 6 . You don't see many Moto-carts about now, and that one looks to be in tip-top condition. Nice to see a Muir Hill that still has its standard front weights - most seem to have lost them to the scrapman I reckon that F11 has been on its side to bend the frame to that extent - they are a pretty strong loader so its had more than a slight bump. Cotil crane tractorSupplied by Colchester Tractors. Did they build them as well? Colchester Tractors put the cranes on the tractors, but they didn't build the actual crane itself. As well as Lemken equipment, their subsidiary, Colchester Tillage, were importers of Tico cranes (see walterderwents earlier post), and they started building self propelled cranes by mounting them on Ford tractors in the 60's. They fitted some larger capacity cranes on to a few County tractors too. The name came from simply abbreviating the company name to 'Cotil'.

The Tractor Twitcher Posted March 17, 2010 Share Posted March 17, 2010 Fantastic photographs Super6 especially the line up from the sale, some very nice tractors up for auction. If I was a little bit richer and been able to attend, i'd have definitely had a bid or two on the pre-Force Ford 4000. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deere-est Posted March 17, 2010 Share Posted March 17, 2010 The Farmhand loader is a pity to be bent really. I have stacked many a small hay bale of hay with one. Usually fitted around a 5000 or an MF165. Fast machine for field work. It would make a lovely SCALEdown kit. . . . . NIGEEEEEL!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

powerrabbit Posted March 19, 2010 Share Posted March 19, 2010 The auctioneers at Malvern, H.J Pugh have a list of the price results of the auction items on their website, click on 'results' on the home page and it comes up in a seperate pane as a PDF file.
