mb86 Posted October 13, 2017 Author Share Posted October 13, 2017 (edited) Atlas editions New Performance super dexta with tyres replaced with ones from a uh MF 135. Might have to remove the daft euro hitch on the back and the one on the front, otherwise a great little model, shame they aren't as common as the grey fergys seem to be.

There is one on eBay but it is expensive in my opinion, almost half way to a scaledown one! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

844john Posted October 14, 2017 Share Posted October 14, 2017 Nice little tractor there Martin, I learned to drive on a Dexta and have many fond memories of driving one as a boy, apart from the constant sticking in third gear that is!

mb86 Posted October 14, 2017 Author Share Posted October 14, 2017 Thanks. Always surprised me how fast they were on the road for the time. Dad had a couple of early dextas when he took the farm over from his dad, they had replaced an E27n major and a grey fergy. wouldn't mind a blue/orange one as well. There is a photo somewhere of him at a young age baling with one of them. I often wish some of these had been kept in the back of a shed but back then they were used until they were knackered then traded in. Back then the machine was there to do the work, not sit looking pretty. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
