They have always been on the look out for one but they don't seem to come up very often. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Ferguson Posted September 5, 2010 Share Posted September 5, 2010 well I'll stand corrected.... ish.... but she's only 90hp and pretty slugish too in my humble opinion... don't get me wrong... lovely tractor... but not the gutsyest tractor I've seen \ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nathan Posted September 5, 2010 Share Posted September 5, 2010 i use to plough with a dowswell 4 f behind my mf 390 on steep ground all the time . the one we had on demo had plastic mould boards but the boss bought one with metal mould boards on so had to have a rear ram fitted. and loads of weight on the front. great pictures by the way. love the 550 and its in good nick too.

hody21 Posted February 6, 2011 Author Share Posted February 6, 2011 Well, long time no post. I thought I had better update Larkton house farm a little. In some of the earlier pictures the ground works are well under way for the new cubicle shed, below are a few pictures of its construction. Loads more pictures to come when I get the photo cd of my dads boss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hody21 Posted September 4, 2011 Author Share Posted September 4, 2011 I thought I should update my topic a little for you all. Things are a little different this year as the Mf 399 has been relegated to the mower and the Mf 5445 has had a go with the forager to see how it would perform. Any questions then please fire away.
