MF-ROB Posted March 29, 2011 Share Posted March 29, 2011 Hey all Can everyone post up the picture's of there tractors,contractors picture's,loadalls and machinery but the thing is it cant be over the year 2000. I hope i have this in the right topic if not can someone move it please \ I'm not a great fan of new tractors dont get me wrong there nice to see and its nice to see people getting a new one but i love tractors from 60's 70's 80's and 90's i think tractors were tractors back then and that you had to drive the tractor yourself. just real classic's you know what i mean :laugh: on our farm at home we have 95 MF3085 and a leyland 270 with a loader not sure of the year but will find out and maybe just maybe a 94 MF390 with a duncan cab and loader coming or a 97 MF6150 just looking at it to see how things fair out. will be posting up some pictures or my tractors Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MF-ROB Posted March 29, 2011 Author Share Posted March 29, 2011 Heres the 390 that were looking to buy i think its a clean one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deere-est Posted March 29, 2011 Share Posted March 29, 2011 390T will always be my favourite ever tractor I think Bob. It had an MF (Faucheux) 915 loader on it, was a Highline cab with the 12/12 shuttle and 4wd. A beauty of a tractor. The 390 you show above is an absolute minter buy the way, they still make strong money nowadays. Your "pride and joy" is also a credit to you, what a shining example it is. I work for an MF exporter and most of the tractors I collect with the lorry are anything pre '95. Mainly MF but Fords, John Deere's, Case, IH, Fiat, Zetor . ... they're all in the yard!

The Tractor Twitcher Posted March 29, 2011 Share Posted March 29, 2011 That's a very smart 3085 you own, a credit to you Robert. For your interest here's a selection of "pre 2000" Massey Ferguson tractors i've photographed in the past couple of years including my friends near 9000 hour 3085 on an M plate.

The Tractor Twitcher Posted March 31, 2011 Share Posted March 31, 2011 @ walterderwent thank you for posting some realy nice masseys i love the 3000 and 6000 MF'S the MF3635 carting mazie is that the same one that was in CLASSIC TRACTOR in power on land photos and for 9000 hour on you mates MF3085 its still very clean we have 5800 hours on ours You're very welcome Robert and thank you, hopefully i'll find a few more on my travels over the course of this year to photograph. You're indeed correct, I was lucky enough to have a photograph of the 3635 alongside the big Claas forager printed in the February issue of Classic Tractor. It's on a K plate and in kept in really good condition. My friends who own the 3085 use it to carry out all of their drilling each year whilst other tasks include a regular stint on the plough each year as back up to their front line tractor a Massey Ferguson 6290 and grain carting too. It's kept in really tidy order and benefited from a mechanical overhaul a couple of years ago. Here's the tractor ploughing this year. I've posted loads more photographs of older machinery and tractors in the following two threads. http://www.farmtoysforum.com/forum/index.php/topic,25556.0.html http://www.farmtoysforum.com/forum/index.php/topic,27857.0.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Tractor Twitcher Posted April 1, 2011 Share Posted April 1, 2011 Here's another four from my photographic collection that fit the criteria for this topic. A complete set of P registered 60 series New Hollands. All but the 8360 belong to a local contractor, however given the blue tray, I believe this is a former fleet member of their's too.

Even the farmer commented whilst I was there it could have potentially gone for hay. Thanks Marcus there's still a few farmers around here making their own silage with trailed machines in amongst the contractor's big self propelled machines. The 51 Jaguar along with the 7610 powering it have been on the same farm since new. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJB1 Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 & being a flywheel, it probably handled that crop better than a drum type blower would , only ever used a 51 a couple of times but was a lovely machine to use, i've also tried to chop very dry silage before as well with a jag 60, it was so dry it wouldn't blow it ant sense as would go all fluffy in the spout & block up , i gave up & it was then round baled for haylage which i suppose would have been the better option anyway ! you got any pics of a jag 40 working david ? now they were funny little machines to use , absolutly awfull in really damp grass i found Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 7610 powering the 51 seemed to be making very serene progress in those dry conditions with seemingly no issues at all. Unfortunately I don't have any photographs of a Jaguar 40 in action, however I am still aware a number of other older trailed machines that are still working ( Claas, Taarup, John Deere ) especially close to the coast so I will keep a close eye out for them when the time arises and make sure I have my camera with me.
