The Tractor Twitcher Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 I've been fortunate enough to see two of these very impressive looking tractors and have a picture of one in my scanned images archive from when I attended Driffield Show with my Dad many years ago. Seen on John Wood and Son ( Bilsdale Ploughs ) stand: The photograph Matthew has posted looks like tractor dealer and contractor Robert Fearnley's example.

Paul Palmer Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 (edited) your right david i think robert fearnley is in devon,no im wrong its norfolk,i remember though he had the 9240 on a topper for his setaside margins Edited April 22, 2012 by paulali Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niels Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 The first picture in this thread is Fearnley's machine. There can't be to many left in the UK? There was an article on the 9240 in CT about a year or two three back? Was surprised to hear the back end came from DB. It actually is David Browns very last tractor. Shame they are troublesome in the gearbox department. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A website I always enjoy having a look through given the fascinating and rare assortment tractors that have ( and still are ) passing through his ownership. http://www.machinery.uk.com/interestingpics/mf9240.htm As for the one in my photograph according to friends i've spoken to it was demonstrated on several local farms including one large estate just a few miles down the road from where I live where it received a lukewarm response. Whilst the other one i've seen was on Peacock & Binnington's forecourt at Louth a good number of years ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Brown Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 Very odd looking Tractor I did know of these but I would be interested in how many of these were produced in MF colours and how many they actually sold, I honestly think its an ugly duckling interested to hear more on these though.

rorsday Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 I thought Woods were now trading in Kirkbymoorside, previously Landini now Case-IH, or so I thought. Isn't Tony Towell the sales manager? R Day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Tractor Twitcher Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 Good old photo David you wouldn't know what year it was would you? Sadly Woods are no longer on the go selling tractor I'm pretty certain it was taken in 1996 Patrick. I'd love to know what happened to that particular tractor. I'm positive it was demonstrated on several local farms but what became of it after that i'm not sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R Day Rory you are indeed correct. Whilst the Driffield facility is no more they continue to trade from the Kirkby Mills Industrial Estate just on the outskirts of Kirkbymoorside about 6 miles down the road from where I live. Previously Landini now Case IH. Here's the link to their website: http://www.johnwoods.co.uk/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
