It could have been a TR 200 either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DBfan Posted April 20, 2010 Share Posted April 20, 2010 Nash is right a few men around me have one the same as your model and they are a TR200 looks good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1/32 farmer Posted April 20, 2010 Share Posted April 20, 2010 sort of rember it to a long time to put out if i remember Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rich.new holland Posted April 20, 2010 Share Posted April 20, 2010 200 has the ram on top of the boom and 250 have the ram inside the boom but that looks nice graham keep up the work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deere-est Posted April 20, 2010 Share Posted April 20, 2010 Superb, Graham and yes the TR's were excellent machines. The smaller TR200 became quite sought after and can still command a high price in good condition. I know of two 200's near me but sadly no more 250's. A lovely model you have built, hope to see it at Toytrac :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
graham Posted April 20, 2010 Author Share Posted April 20, 2010 will be at toytrac tris , have not seen any up this way for a few years jcb pivot steers have taken over Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deere-est Posted April 20, 2010 Share Posted April 20, 2010 That's the same down here, anyone with a 250 has gone on to JCB and Manitou and maybe even had two machines since but the couple of guys with a 200 are very reluctant to swap them in!

MJB1 Posted April 21, 2010 Share Posted April 21, 2010 ooh missed this topic graham , like the old matbro , only really used one a few times loading dung , very old , think it was on an old V plate ! are the wheels a tad big though ? never seen one on 38in rims Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rich.new holland Posted April 27, 2010 Share Posted April 27, 2010 would have thought there on 28's \ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractorman810 Posted April 27, 2010 Share Posted April 27, 2010 only just seen this one, thats really nice graham, know of one down here, but aint sure its still working mind, not seen it move for a while now, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Tractor Twitcher Posted April 27, 2010 Share Posted April 27, 2010 Impressive work Graham looking forward to seeing further progress on the old Matbro, there's a couple of Teleram machines and a rigid TS260 operating on farms not far from me, make for nice sight and change from all the newer JCB, Manitou and Merlos.

archbarch Posted April 27, 2010 Share Posted April 27, 2010 great job Graham, they were very popular a farm i was working on replaced a Sanderson SB with a Matbro TR250, i must be different to everyone else but i never thought too much to the Matbro not a patch on a Sanderson, manouvreability and build quality,just my opinion.
