Lord Ferguson Posted January 25, 2006 Share Posted January 25, 2006 Nah, sparkly diamonds at a guess!? Tell her she can keep the roller Doc... Just think what her friends at the WI will think when she tells them she owns a roller ? If you get it can I come round and sit in the cab ? - Just for a few hours ?

BGU Posted January 25, 2006 Share Posted January 25, 2006 If you win it F-P I think you're going to have a lot of requests to sit in the cab. How much will you charge for a 5 minute drive? 8) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BGU Posted January 25, 2006 Share Posted January 25, 2006 I can't remember where you live - are you far from Boston Lincs? On holiday there in March/April. Or Darlington - got an excuse to go there!! :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BGU Posted January 25, 2006 Share Posted January 25, 2006 What's the top speed of the Massey - i.e how long will it take? and does it do more than 8 miles per gallon? Perhaps we could have an FTF driving marathon to get it to you!! :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps we could have an FTF driving marathon to get it to you!! :D I did give a similar idea some thought. go up in my pickup with a car trailer on theback, load the pickup on and tow it back with the tractor, about 4 days at a guess!! :D :D :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractorman810 Posted January 25, 2006 Share Posted January 25, 2006 Hope you get it Doc, I'm tempted but it would be an expensive toy for me to relivesome of my early farming days of hours spent ploughing with one of these and a 4 furrow Dowdsel reversale... a meaty machine indeed. we had a 5 furrown reversable dowswell on ours ,went through the clayey soil like knife through butter on her,nothing would stop it ,pulled a 698 and fully loaded 8 ton grain trailer out of a ditch after the bridge colapsed no problem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil P Posted January 25, 2006 Share Posted January 25, 2006 Just North of Sheffield, 498 miles south of Turrif, Aberdeen. :'( :'( :'( Ah my home territory, grew up just outside Turriff, lovely market town, and my Auntie took care of the accoints at the old Massey dealorship. Trying to work out where that farm is, it looks familiar? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pingu Posted January 25, 2006 Share Posted January 25, 2006 Go for it FP love the classic MF's the 1200 was always better than any county in its time would out pull a county no offence to ford guys just saying what i've heard and seen they were beasts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps we could have an FTF driving marathon to get it to you!! :D Its worse than that. He'll have to drive it through the heart of Aberdeen as that is the only route south from Turriff. All I will say is avoid Haudagain between 4 and 6pm!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
