But things were not on our side as it was dry over here for weeks the well that we were all lifting out of was starting to run dry  :(

At this time my dad still wasnt back from work and we were starting to run out of water so my dad came on home with his lorry and the tanker that he lifts milk with.

GOOD NEWS

my dad and i are on the look out now for a tractor and loader  now. Had a look last night at one or two or three ha ha!  can you cast your minds back a few months when i was showing you guys the MF 390 with the duncan lift-off cab and loader well had a look at it well the rust on it ha ha! the cab is starting to rot from the floor up which isnt a good start.

Then in the same yard we seen a lovely MF 5455 HI-VIS with loader but with a closer look someone who had it last must of tryed drive it into a low shed as the top part of the roof is out of shape so the search goes on  :-\ :-\ :-\ but were in no hurry we have all summer to look as we wont need a tractor and loader untill we have to bring the cattle back in for winter housing  :D

Thanks guys for your kind words  :D

well im pleased to announce to you all that we are the proud owner of a 1996 MF 375 12x12 2wd  ;D went last night to take a look  we went with a 2wd again as its handy in our yard to go around the the building we have and yes there will be people saying that we should of gone with a 4WD but for all the work that it will be doing i think it will do our job...

The history of the MF 375 it started life at a agri college it england the dealer that we bought if off bought it off them with 1500 hours on it and then sold it to a old man near him were he put 400 hours on it then he traded it in for a MF4345 because he had bought a dubble bale lifter to speed him up when bringing in his hay  there is a MF 820 loader for it which the bucket was never used by him and a grape which he used to lift round bale hay....

heres a few pictures i took last night of it
