I think they come like that from new Paul  :P:D :D

Nice pictures... thanks for posting.... I want a 1260 now... they look kind of cute

Thank you.

The MF 1260 has only done 600 hours! Looks a tidy tractor now its been washed off. I was surprised when you are driving it, it doesn't feel small with plenty of room in the cab.

She is for sale! ;D

I didn't think anyone was having problems with the new SLI's!! ;D

Out of the ten MLT's we sold between November and April 2011 there was only one I have not re-calibrated. We had Manitous delivered with faulty axle strain gauges or failed well being delivered to farm a nightmare!

Speaking to our Manitou area service manager on Friday any strain gauge with date code after April 2011 are a new type so we shouldn't get any more problems. The last few we sold seam to be going OK, time will tell!

Plenty going on then. Is that yourselves doing the head gasket or was that something on a farm somewhere?

Little Cocker looks quite happy to have a broken down Manitou, looks more than comfortable where he is!!

Any Deutz combines out there on your patch, Ben? Not something I see much of, especially later models sort of 90's up to the present day.

We have sold a few over the years and use to look after a lot but over the years they have been traded in for bigger combines or sold. We sold a new 60 series combine to a farm near Burton on Trent last year. In 1999 we soled a DF 8XL combine which at the time was the biggest straw walker machine available. After two seasone of constant breakdowns (Lucky if it ran two hours a day!!) SDF gave the farmer his money back and he brought a Lexion!
