Deere-est Posted November 3, 2012 Share Posted November 3, 2012 I gather the top two were at your current job? What about the others? When the 8000 series came out I always hoped for a drive in one but sadly never did nor have yet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When the 8000 series came out I always hoped for a drive in one but sadly never did nor have yet We did have a 4650 here, wasn't mine when I started back in 1989 they bought me a new jd4455 then after that I had the 8100 my dad also drove a 4650 so I got to drive both of them a few times, would love to own one now, the tw was at my first job when I left school and and the other two were also tractors my dad drove so I got my hands on them too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a lovely great hulk of iron Your right the 44 was a great tractor , it's funny if you park one beside a 6930 the 44 looks small now, but even our 7530 can't seem to do what I did with that tractor , I used to pull six furrows and have a front mounted furrow press it would give the 7230r a run for its money , Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
britainswomble Posted November 3, 2012 Share Posted November 3, 2012 This is a difficult question to answer. I have many tractors that have made a lasting impression on me. There were a lot of very memorable tractors in my early days at Sussex Tractors and from my teenage years too. I have driven all of the tractors listed and these are the ones I'd like to own. John Deere 4020. The first 100+ horsepower with powershift; that I drove briefly as a teenager. Ford 7000. In its day a powerful and versatile tractor that sounded nice and performed well. County 1164. Noisy and cumbersome with loads of character. Brought out the yob in me! Muir Hill 161. A real snorter of a tractor. Twin exhausts, a V8 Perkins and a 9(?) speed non synchro Eaton gearbox. Ford 7810. The best Ford I ever drove. At its best with a plough behind it. A well balanced tractor that Ford's said there was no demand for. Ford's were asked for a six cylinder tractor about ten years before they made one. At the time we lost loads of sales of 7600's to John Deere with their 3130-3140's. The 7-6 was a great tractor, but the drivers preferred the quieter and smoother six cylinder engine. Can I have another five favourites?.............. I s'pose not! So I can't mention the New Performance Super Major, the David Brown 990 Selectamatic, the Ford TW35, the Ford 8830 Powershift or the International 956............ can I?
