This one is a German one Ben... it's the same as a 698 buddy... they did a 1004T as well (698T)... I read somewhere that they simply numbered the 698 thus to remain in keeping with the other (Landini based) numbered tractors Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Ferguson Posted March 21, 2011 Author Share Posted March 21, 2011 Don't think so Paul... I assume that's the 1014... that was a Landini tractor.. this 1014 is a French built 600 series. The cab will be right though I suspect Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Ferguson Posted March 21, 2011 Author Share Posted March 21, 2011 No worries Paul.. that's the one I thought you meant... cab correct... rest of the machine will be wrong really mate :'( Mind you... there is nothing to stop someone transplanting the cab on to a UH chassis and making a scratch built bonnet...

Tractorman810 Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 not sure on that marky, i recon that ros 1014 would pass as a long wheel base 698 if not a 699 with obviously bonnet swaps to them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Ferguson Posted March 21, 2011 Author Share Posted March 21, 2011 Well I'll bow down to your greater scratch building credentials Mr P.. but would (say) a UH590 not be better perhaps as the donor skid \ .. the Landini backend is totally different to a French built or English built MF bud Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I can safely say that they are my most favourite style of MF brochure in my entire collection... The text reads.... a new power in your hands...

Lord Ferguson Posted March 26, 2011 Author Share Posted March 26, 2011 and finally for tonight... A rare French crawler brochure... this was a Landini, made in Italy for the French market... And this is just brilliant.... it's about 42 pages full of photographs of the TE20 in industrial applications across France... hugely interesting... if you are that way inclined :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hello Mark, can you tell a little more on this MF122, like horsepower, which engine etc. ALthough not my color, they look great and can understand you are very pleased with them Jack.

Lord Ferguson Posted March 27, 2011 Author Share Posted March 27, 2011 Hi Jack.... the 122 was a derated 130 by the looks of things... it has the engine that was originally used in the MF25 tractor (4 cylinder Perkins A4.99).... it pumped out a WHOPPING 24hp according to the brochures. I've read somewhere that this machine, like the MF25 was aimed at farmers who only used walk behind machines Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stehos Posted March 27, 2011 Share Posted March 27, 2011 Thanks Mark, so this like a 1970's TE20 Having a derated engine of the 130, how would this tractor have been quality wise. The 130 has a reputation ... Has it been imported in Britain, because I can't remember seeing it here in Holland. Thanks for sharing the info and pictures. Jack.

I'm no expert on French built machines Jack.. so I can only guess... but I suspect the 122 was equally as bad as the 130 in terms of reputation... although I guess it would have been a little easier on the drivetrain as its got less power. It was never offically sold in the UK... probably a good joib given the reputation the 130 very soon obtained from the UK farming community Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
