SMurF Posted February 11, 2006 Author Share Posted February 11, 2006 The boss won't sell them for some reason All that happens is we get old tractors and run them into the ground and then put them away I would like to sell them all and get a decent 2640 2WD or something similar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pingu Posted February 11, 2006 Share Posted February 11, 2006 But a working newer MF would be worth especially a 3125 they pull like a train nothing can stop them even pull 3m vaderstads Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJB1 Posted February 11, 2006 Share Posted February 11, 2006 aye ,a 3125 will be just nicely run in by now & they're pretty bulletproof , very little goes wrong with them provided they're well serviced Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Ferguson Posted February 13, 2006 Share Posted February 13, 2006 Come on Smurf... that 175 is crying out for a Marky make-over - What say you persuade the boss to give it to you as a Christmas Bonus early...

Deere-est Posted February 13, 2006 Share Posted February 13, 2006 I hate blokes like your boss Smurf, those could have a whole new lease of life with us lot. They could be FTF working tractors!!! Take them to the shows and stuff as mobile billboards!! The little 175 would look a peach fully restored and worked for a few weeks to take the shine off.
