Lord Ferguson Posted June 5, 2010 Share Posted June 5, 2010 What about a sprayer,roller,and yard scraper well... you got me.. you got me... and you got me I think :'( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
archbarch Posted June 5, 2010 Share Posted June 5, 2010 Well I disagree with the bit about better than tractors... but they did dominate the combine world for many years and LIKE THE TRACTORS made the best combines in the world... led the way for many years.. Being a Ford fan it is against the law to like Massey tractors but the machinery is ok, because you nearly always saw a Ford tractor pulling a Massey drill. I always thought the Combines made by MF were consistent never a bad model in the range unlike the tractors??? Just my opinion and a Blue one at that hahaha!!!!

Lord Ferguson Posted June 5, 2010 Share Posted June 5, 2010 :D .. well fair play I suppose... and I do agree... never a bad MF combine... untiul they bought Dronimburg sadly... that's when my interest in MF combines starts to wilt sadly :'( :'( I know I've bored you all to tears with it before... but I served my aprenticeship on MF combines... I'm a combine fitter by trade (technically)... 410, 415, 510, 515, 525, 625, 750/5, 760/5... 855 and 865's all of them marvellous machines in their day back to the scraper... will you at least give me 5 points for this...

archbarch Posted June 5, 2010 Share Posted June 5, 2010 bale or grain elevator? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Ferguson Posted June 5, 2010 Share Posted June 5, 2010 bale or grain elevator? looking now... but don't think so... not that I recall at the moment... although I have a nagging feeling that there maybe something in a world wide catalogue... not read one of those for a while... will need some time on that one... but for now... I stand defeated again :'( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Ferguson Posted June 5, 2010 Share Posted June 5, 2010 Ok... applying for 5 points again.... Aww come on ref.... elevators.. augers... who's counting they do the same job :'( :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
archbarch Posted June 5, 2010 Share Posted June 5, 2010 well half marks you cant really put a bale of hay up it?? on the haymaking theme did they ever at some point market the Acrobat (spider turner) So many Tractor manufacturers have tried to offer the complete package tractor, combine and machinery but none have come close to what Massey marketed it was true branding!!! I heard somewhere that Ferguson made more money out of the equipment than the tractors??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Ferguson Posted June 5, 2010 Share Posted June 5, 2010 well you did say bale or grain your honour :'( Ferguson sold their tractors at a VERY low margin I do believe... but as you rightly say... made on the implements. To become a Ferguson dealer you HAD to have one of each implement in stock at all times ready for immediate sale/delivery ... and pay for it up front... so I believe... Now... acrobat type rake...

An Interested Spectator Posted June 5, 2010 Share Posted June 5, 2010 Marky dear chap, thank you so much for posting the pictures of the acrobat style wheel rake. I got major grief from a mate for painting a Britains acrobat in MF colours, time for him to eat some humble pie i think. At some stage, god knows when, I must use the wheels of a couple of the britains acrobats and make an MF 'V' wheel rake. Some day in the distant future I will have to come back to you for some more pics and measurments. The post knocker is a new one on me, another one to try some time. Cuting a centeral reservation with an in line forager, my how the world has changed !!!! Adie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJB1 Posted June 6, 2010 Share Posted June 6, 2010 now then i have seen a Massey Ferguson feed bin, matter of fact i loaded 10T of maize gluten into it ! it's on a farm up on the quantock hills , it was in the days when a mobile phone was carried round in a holdall & a cord connected it to a small car battery so no pics i'm afraid so i suppose it's still standing . i remember looking at it thinking a Massey Ferguson bin .................. really ?......well who'd have thought !

MJB1 Posted June 6, 2010 Share Posted June 6, 2010 Good work ummm....hedge trimmer yes they did, although it wasn't tractor mounted , i cant seem to find it on the forum search , but it was an air powered hand held trimmer , badge engineered of course , but i seem to recall a forum member having a leaflet & a disscussion about it somewhere on one of the boards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
